With the shutdown of the AiPin, our experience and experiment has come to a bittersweet end. There’s always lessons in the journey. And as always, this means simply to shift forward to the next things. Also published: Opining About Human-Centered Design in Civic Tech read more

Cropping a convo for a wider eye/lens… the context being design/human-centered design in (a/some) #CivicTech spaces How to be human centered when the operational objective isn’t to be humane, but to be operationally more proficient… such is the design challenge to transform its approach and posture … read more

Hope at doing something more than just pulsating silicon wafers until they cannot any more. Wonder and hope… a lot of what’s been challenged lately. But, also where … read more

Stumbling forward. That’s more or less the feeling these days. And for each experiment and moment of research that offers a little bit of clarity there’s also something different upon us. It was affirming to see a graphic speak to the amount of content that comes across our senses. And even in this … read more

Am in the kind of week where there’s a remembrance of poking into another side of design-engineering. The spark of such a memory might be discussed later. But for now, there’s something more complete Avanceé could offer going forward, regardless of the state of affairs. Also published: … read more
