Early morning coincidence - archival

I’m up very early on a Sunday morning.  I had some things bumbling to the surface of my sleep and decided to get up.  I’m on my iPad and reviewing some notes on my video [project] workflow.  Any part of any good workflow (or in my professional world - data management lifecycle) is archival.  When we are finished with something, we should archive it, not just get rid of it or “bin it” as the say in England, but remove it from your main workspace, declutter it, saving something valuable in a safe place.

We started watching a movie last night and I wanted to check out some details on IMDB so I opened the app and the splash page / open banner on IMDB is a trailer for a new Netflix movie called Archive 81.  I watched the trailer - looks good and scary.

Good morning.  Now back to what I was working on.

(Quick follow on.  Like many coincidences, the rabbit hole can keep going.  I noticed an actor in the IMDB listing for The Greatest Showman (the movie we were watching last night) and he looked like an actor I saw in the trailer for Archive 81.  But I was wrong, the supporting actor in the the trailer was Martin Donavan.  And he also was in Tenet.  And guess what, as we were browsing some TV last night, we watched a small scene from Tenet and talked a little about it.  A little six degrees of Kevin Bacon this morning, bacon…)
