I 'discovered' big-endian dating for myself as early as using first computers and been using them consistently over the years. It just sorts so well. I don't even use hyphens and eyes are trained to see year, month, day in 20230823 pretty quick. Used to add time with _ like this: 2023082_2340, now it is 20230823-2340. Generally I tend to always tag notes & sketches with date/time pretty much.

> Why do I keep them all? I really don’t know. But they’re fun to make and fun to look back at… even if the tower is getting a little unwieldy.

This collection is impressive and seems, from what author says, like it's a byproduct of a process and not goal in itself. I think its good to keep 'em this way.
