Sometimes we “know where everything is” despite outward appearances. Sometimes we have “a place for everything and everything in its place.” Sometimes both ideas work. Sometimes neither work.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Data is everywhere. Data is the new oil or bacon or pizza or something good or bad. The trouble with data is if I cannot find the one thing I need at the time and place I need it, all those data are useless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, everything in its place. Look in the right place, as long as I can remember which place is the right place. Sometimes I can, and sometimes…the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aha, I’ll just pile everything in to one place. I have a magic finder that finds whatever it is I want. Aha, that is Google search and WordPress search and Apple finder and Windows finder and … I guess there are many more. And they all work well! They allow me to simply toss new things on the pile. They “index” everything (what a bad noun-to-verb thing) and find it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes this works. Sometimes that works. Sometimes nothing works. What am I to do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maybe I’ll just remember what it is I thought to be important. Then again, maybe I’ll forget it and move along happily anyways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" by Dwayne Phillips Sometimes we “know where everything is” despite outward appearances.
