Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.
Oscar Wilde
This is ground zero for ScrapBOOM — from here will flow the first invites to those who are — and have been — a part of my life.  Inside these containers are memories from probably everyone I have ever known and loved — photos, movies, notes, ticket stubs, news clippings and other keepsakes. Every single item is a link back to moments that exist in the darkness of my brain, just waiting to be illuminated. I may have some of your memories, too, and I can’t wait to share them with you.

ScrapBOOM has also engaged the Jacob Tyler Creative Group to develop mobile and web applications. I look forward to a fun and productive relationship with the folks at Jacob Tyler.

Do You Remember?

When you’re really young, you just don’t have that much to remember — and the stuff you can remember didn’t happen very long ago. So, your memories are typically less valuable when you’re a kid. This is the basis for my hypothesis of why middle-aged folks, like myself, suddenly and acutely start cherishing the past.

Experience gives our memories weight and meaning. The difficulty we have finding the most distant memories makes them scarce and gives them value.

My 44 years represents about 250,000 waking hours of life, and I’ve filled those fairly well, I believe. Every moment, from my first kiss to a critical one-second pause at a just-turned-green light that saved my life, is stored somewhere in my brain. But, accessing some memories can be challenging.

Our links to the past include old friends, older family members, music, scents, scenery, words and photographs. Like a wildfire, one memory spark can quickly light up large regions of deep history within our brain. These powerful emotions that spring forth from remembering are what ScrapBOOM is all about. Since I couldn’t find the tools that I needed to help me in this regard, I decided to build them myself, with the help of the best folks I could find.

I’ll keep you informed about the coming development of ScrapBOOM right here, and I look forward to delivering to you the best tools possible for keeping your brain fresh with fond memories.
