Coming to grips with your digital data


Hi, I'm Tom. I've been designing IT for twenty years. Much of my last decade has been devoted to aspects of personal digital data storage over the net.

Poke around here, if you like, and I'll try to walk you through what I've learned and share my thoughts on where I think its all going.

Hopefully this will help make your decisions about data privacy, security and management a little more informed. Your mileage will vary. I'll keep it simple but I'll sprinkle in links to the meatier stuff. I will also provide a separate thread that talks a little about my professional journey through all this.

I am focusing on personal data here. Your lifetime collection of digital information that you create from all the possible sources. I won't spend much time on corporate information solutions.
