Tamingdata.com Website Review

this “taming data blog” was my recreation; a break, if you will, from the more serious issues of long-term digital preservation and currently, the topics on taming data blog trend towards “how” someone or some organization disseminated, used, and managed (“tamed”) their data, and i post a related visualization, animation, or video. short and sweet, both for this writer and any i designed the taming data blog to be an eclectic collection of posts about information systems, aimed at real people who are experts in i began my career in tech by editing content on web pages in 1995 at a small start-up. (yes, the dark ages!) soon, i began to code web pages and create content. (yes, i was one of the then “20-somethings” that grew the web in the 1990s.) by the early 2000s, i had earned a master’s degree in information science and i was one of the first “digital librarians” to development and management of digital data collections and repositories. as a result of my desire to be a researcher, and, frankly, the long-term effects of the great telecom bust of 2002 my expertise now extends to the preservation of digital materials, particularly using the integrated rule-oriented data-management system. why does this matter? because most materials, such as medical records and baby photos, are “born digital”. they need to be able to last. for decades. some of us can barely find our vacation photos from last year! in conclusion, i have worked in multiple industries, from small start-ups to an isp to a national laboratory to an academic library to a cyber infrastructure development research center to founding my own start up (currently). while they may seem like very different work environments, all of them involve digital data and information infrastructures and i love helping people and organizations “tame their data” by applying my expertise to help them develop and refine their digital by as*essing a person or organization’s information technology needs, i provide human solutions to their digital dilemmas.
