Random River Walk

This post provides a retrospective journal of my experiences with launching and operating the MightyMoRiver project, a portal for crowd-sourcing curated information related to the Missouri River flood of 2011. Technical and operational challenges are  the subject of past &/or future posts.

This post’s style, content, and title are inspired by a random walk with a friend in a far-away restorative locale while meandering about discussing adjacent possibles, picking up the pieces, pivoting, keeping it real, and plausible futures. We’d like to think we saved the best for last…so do keep reading the entire post and we welcome your comments.
