Pollywogs!

Last night, I was thinking of ways to manage data. I am surrounded by information, and my brain is woefully inadequate to manage, sort, store, provide quick and reliable access, etc etc etc…

I was envisioning this software, that easily managed my information, allowed me to detail it, describe how it was linked to other information, allow me to access my data from where ever I might be, allow me to see the big picture rather than drowning in a sea of details.

I got bored waiting for a file to transfer, and examined my Google Desktop Search bar for news clips, RSS feeds, etc etc and saw an item named FileMaker, Inc, from an RSS feed off of del.icio.us. Dunno why I clicked it, maybe the name was interesting.

Filemaker was what I was thinking of last night…except its not quite as free-form and creative/artistic as what I was envisioning. Maybe another four or five years…
