‪Enjoying a trip back to @the_brigadoon Annapolis via the pics taken by @bkownacki — so many of them capture the energy of the time there… especially shots during our lecture: expressive, engaging, and a hint of “learning about the future-present”‬ read more

Throughly enjoyed sharing a bit about “digital humanism” at Annapolis Brigadoon over the past days. Yet, for as much as there was an expression of Avanceé (main points: livability as productivity and boundaries established around understanding circadian rhythms), the conversations when went well … read more

Lots shared, follow on Snapchat to see all the shots: www.snapchat.com/add/arjwr… read more

Would usually take a week+ to read @macstoriesnet’s iOS 12 Review, but the writing made it a one-night affair; the Shortcuts section especially. To be a “power” user & not use these would indeed diminish the value of an iOS experience www.macstories.net/stories/i… read more

Reading, listening, and watching reviews of Apple Watch Series 4 For as much as reviewer’s who have had a limited amount of time can speak to features, usability, and even nuance seems to be missed. The clarity of what Apple is doing seems to be only alluded to buy a few. Perhaps there’s room for a … read more

Doing some homework around @Microsoft’s #Sketch2Code for a bit today. This is the kind of action which could easily be a workflow/Shortcuts action within an app like @fiftythree @FiftyThreePaper — for simply conveying the initial steps of a concept the way we work at least read more

Have had a number of positive conversations since starting on this Avanceé journey. For the most part, conversations have been positive. Something about someone focusing on their own narrative, while also being open to sowing into the lives of others, has something of its own pay off. At the same … read more

Clouds and rain seem to make something of a calming moment for many. For others, clouds and rain portend a change. Whether things are going to not be as they were, or that the change which was going to come isn’t. As much as we sometimes see the former, its the latter to which its harder to figure … read more

Natural disasters often spring thoughts of what works and doesn’t work about the normal processes and tools we utilize. Needing the movement of electrons to power processes might make some things visible, but also endears us to segments of living which are not as easy to keep grounded. read more

Avanceé has accidentally been speaking towards two roads, design as normative to computing and productivity’s redefinition. Most of this is tied to some simple and straightforward observations across several industries. Yet, even these two tracks point to a better or more perfect definition of the … read more

There’s this stretch of life which happens right at the end of summer when many folks start picking up the pace. An anxiousness to the end of the year? Catching up and getting back on pace because of summer breaks? Or, maybe something a bit more is happening. Whatever it is, there’s a cause for a … read more

Going to experiment again tomorrow… been playing w/potential tweak to service offerings. Tomorrow will be a good measure of whether that net can be cast fully read more

Stumbled across a discussion about user experience (UX) and a new tool from Microsoft called Sketch2Code the other week. Had this to offer: It seems w/AI & ML we need to stop thinking about computers as “process/calc.” Rather, how they enable us to be better, while doing computing better. We … read more

There’s something of a flood coming. At least, depending on the genre you are watching, listening to, or consumed by there’s something coming. Now, what we are doing with it, might your company be trying a different route rather than the same, or how you might be deciding to ignore it are the other … read more

Really interesting… never met @asymco yet this is maybe the 3rd time having noticed him syncing/pivoting to a similar line of thought & work… Listening forward to this micromobility podcast series… Our 1st thought: “What will be the highway system/McD’s of #micromobility” … read more

“Design” is a recognized topic in many corporate circles. The value of what design does for business has become the next and loudest crest of conversation. Some of the tones of this conversation are muted — design speaks to something “felt” but also “known.” Some of those tones are louder — for … read more

It has been something of a flashback in seeing how many have made their way over to MicroBlog. Sure, Twitter acting out has a lot to do with that, but there’s probably something a tick under the surface with a lot of social groups and social networks which grow over a particular size or gain some … read more

Thinking about taking some more chances with the content posted through this @microdotblog account and it hits that some of the reason that the jump hasn’t already happened is because of so many of the network effects gained (chained?) to Twitter. Whereas some people find it easy to make the … read more
