your personal library, and a return to Google, well partly

So many times I have thought, "I remember thinking about this ages ago", or "didn't I make some

notes on this ", the answer is more than likely, yet the notes I made are like the memory, long lost of forgotten.

The real answer is  never again,  and now I make notes on so many thoughts and ideas, or so often, just plain old observations, some times  and so often, in the form of a photo, some times in a written note, but most in picture format .
Yet ideas come at any time and place, my moleskin is the format I choose to explore these ideas I love a pencil, crayons and of late water colours to make sketches,  but some times even I forget to bring it along, so I have turned to my iPad and one of the Evernote family Penultimate to sketch ideas and concepts, all are automatically added to to my personal library, and all are tagged so they come up in my search quests.

Observation is not built in to the human persona, it's needs cultivation,  practice and more practice, and memory is at best poor, so making notes on any observation, is paramount. But and here is a problem, I so often forget I ever make observations, studies of research, how do I find the right notes, as I might have mentioned, I tag all notes, not just with pertinent tags, but with so often obscure tags, ones I might use to describe the subject.

The original article and subsequent updates can be found on the substack site.

Now it seems I started this post on my personalblog a year ror two ago, is it still relevant, well the answer to that is yes, I have no idea why I did not post, but its still relevant, so its a go , and I'll post it.

It's my intention to post mot here, both new articles and cmment, plus reposting my suubstack post, but withsome addtional comments and ideas relevant to the Frog Up or Down web site, my mostly technical web site, Scaysbrook.co.uk my personal web site, or finaly Scaysbrook.com the family name web site, all on Google sites.

I think my main reason was a transfer back to Apple on my retirement, moving most of my writinf back there, rather than Google Doc, perhaps the reason was the new book got so big, Docs just could not cope, so I went back to Apple Pages. but as it happens, I had to move to Word, because of the publisher. 

Now I want to catch up with my posts, I find Google is back its just easier to do things here.

So I'm back and posting again.
