Ash Maurya shows the process his team uses for building features beyond the MVP. (They use Kanban for tracking. He also shares lots of his Project Management Software tools.) We clearly state the current macro metric (AARRR) we want to achieve at the top which helps prioritize what we work on... Only if the feature demonstrates a positive impact on the macro metric within a reasonable time window, does it stay in the app. Otherwise it is killed and removed. I Commented: So months could pass and your software would still end up back at MVP because nothing you built moved the needle, right?

Ash Maurya gives 3 rules on designing Actionable Metrics for your Start Up (AARRR, Sales Funnel, etc.) (more)

David Chalmers sees his IPhone as more than an Outboard Brain, but as part of his mind (Cyborg). "A whole lot of my cognitive activities and my brain functions have now been uploaded into my IPhone. It stores a whole lot of my beliefs, phone numbers, addresses, whatever. It acts as my memory for these things. It's always there when I need it." Chalmers even claims it holds some of his desires. "I have a list of all of my favorite dishes at the restaurant we go to all the time in Canberra. I say, OK, what are we going to order? Well, I'll pull up the iPhone - these are the dishes we like here. It's the repository of my desires, my plans."

Mark Bernstein on Scott McCloud's Making Comics on its lessons for Story Telling. Some of his points are new and important. In a single frame, for example, he sums up beautifully why simple immersive media wouldn't accomplish everything we want, (even if) we all had HoloDecks (Virtual Reality) at our disposal. (Comic Book)

Virtual Reality involves a number of promising technologies, none of which have come into wide use yet (2013). (more)
