Trying to retrieve some data from the past, digging through my archive of notes. This pile of papers contains only a slightly higher signal-to-noise ratio than the volume of whiteboard sketches I have photographed on my phone.
I haven’t yet found what I was searching for in all that old scribbling,but I did find some old gems, most of which were _not_ work-related. Perhaps I’ll repost some stuff from the archive as excerpts here on this blog. Would that mean I could throw out the notebook, now that the data is in digital format? Perhaps.

What if we had a bunch of tiny clouds?
