"Invest in your own experience. Do the work." - Futurist Jim Carroll
--
Futurist Jim Carroll is writing a series, The Art of the Infinite Pivot, based on 36 lessons from his 36 years as a solo entrepreneur, working as a nomadic worker in the global freelance economy. The series is unfolding here, and at pivot.jimcarroll.com.
--Yesterday, I told you to waste time on frivolous things.
I encouraged you to play with the "toys" that others dismiss, because that’s where the future hides. But once you find a "toy" that hums with the signal of a major disruptive trend, you have to make a choice: do you stay a spectator, or do you become a practitioner?
The Infinite Pivot requires you to move from "playing" to "doing," and in doing so, developing the critical skills and insight you need to successfully pivot into your next version of you.
A key philosophy I’ve followed throughout my 36-year voyage is that if I’m going to speak or write about a disruptive trend, I’ve got to have hands-on experience with it. I refuse to be a "slideshow strategist" who simply repeats what they read in a trade magazine. If I haven't touched it, I don't feel I have the right to talk about it.
It's one thing to see the "frivolous" potential of a trend; it's another to understand its soul.
So with that being the case, I learn through doing.
Linux as a foundation? I didn't just read about it; I became a Linux geek, building and managing the very server infrastructure that powers my digital presence. Smart home trends? I didn't just buy a hub; I built a living laboratory of interconnected sensors and complex logic. Self-driving cars? I didn't just watch the videos; I invested ten grand in Tesla's FSD. (The hands-on "phantom braking" moments taught me more about the reality of AI than any white paper ever could, and the fact it won't be real for quite some time. DNA-based preventative medicine? I didn't just track the news; I had my 23andMe done and took a deep dive into my personal healthcare genome to see the future of personalized wellness firsthand.
Do you get the point? I can’t go on stage and speak about future trends if I don't have a deep, visceral understanding of those trends.
In an era of shallow, AI-generated summaries and surface-level takes, your greatest competitive advantage is tactile truth. While everyone else is talking about the future, you are busy wiring it. Putting it together.Making it real. Getting into the weeds with it.
Don't just watch the future happen.
Get your hands dirty.
Put in the work.

MacBook Neo 2 : pourquoi Apple renoncerait à un écran tactile

I rebuilt my personal logo using hand-coded #SVG, checked out the alignment with #tactile exploration by embossing it while iterating, and then used the design concept to refresh my entire portfolio site, as you do. :) Come check out the latest version of https://marconius.com/

hi #FediFriends 👋 does anyone have any #Keychron keebs or Keychron #switches in their #keebs? I’m trying to find an optimal setup for a friend’s first #MechKeeb based on her preferences from trying a couple of mine & keen to know about anyone’s experience with Keychron Banana or Silent Yellow switches (as well as any other quiet #tactile switches if you have recs for different brands) 🙏

Ich habe vor einigen Wochen einen Kollegen mit dem Thema "mechanische Tastaturen" angesteckt. Jetzt hat er mich bei dem Thema überholt. Heute brachte er mir sogar eine handvoll unterschiedliche (10 !) Switches zum Testen mit. :blobaww:

I made some final tweaks to the #Tactile #SVG Bingo card output for both portrait and landscape modes, made the site responsive, pretty, and functional in light and dark modes with CSS, and am happy to release this further out into the world! Thanks to @ChanceyFleet for bringing this little project to me! Now anyone can make tactile and embossable Bingo Cards whenever they want! We can do so much nonvisually with just a little code and a means of tactile output! https://blindsvg.com/pages/projects/bingo/

Craving a break from the screen? You’re not alone. 👋
The tactile and tangible are making a huge comeback. More and more of us are seeking hands-on activities and products as a direct response to a sterile, digital-first world. It’s about reconnecting with our senses and finding joy in things we can actually hold.
Turns out, there’s a lot to love about pre-loved. Research shows 38% of Europeans have found their favorite possessions on second-hand marketplaces. This isn’t just a trend; it’s a desire for items with history and a story to tell.
🇫🇷
Envie d’une pause de l’écran ? Vous n’êtes pas seul. 👋Le tactile et le tangible font un énorme retour. De plus en plus d’entre nous recherchent des activités et des produits pratiques en réponse directe à un monde stérile et numérique. Il s’agit de renouer avec nos sens et de trouver de la joie dans les choses que nous pouvons réellement tenir.
Il s’avère qu’il y a beaucoup à aimer chez les pré-aimés. La recherche montre que 38 % des Européens ont trouvé leurs biens préférés sur les marchés d’occasion. Ce n’est pas seulement une tendance ; c’est un désir d’articles avec de l’histoire et une histoire à raconter.

One of my big Accessible Enhancements to Voiceover for IOS and Mac os for WWDC for 2025 is Multi Line Access to the Monarch Dynamic Tactile Display.
This will open up so much more functionality across apps and websites, and make reading electronic Braille in books and newspapers 10 times (smile) more enjoyable.
Couple this with the iOS drawing app, brings access to maps etc to that extra level that I've wanted for a long time.
