I’m glad of the chance to say that there is almost nothing better than Judy Collins’ voice: http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tqY_JeyUWcw <\/p>\n
From her song, Both Sides Now….watch the youtube video above
\nBows and flows of angel hair and ice-cream castles everywhere!
\n…. But clouds got in my way<\/p>\n
There is a lot of talk about cloud computing, with some saying “it is better” and others saying that it doesn’t make sense.<\/p>\n
Made me think of “I’ve looked at life from both sides now” and how true the song is “I really don’t know life at all”.<\/p>\n
So here’s my suggestion. Play the Judy Collins song, and look at these URL’s in a separate browser tab.<\/p>\n
…. the Cloud Primer: <\/p>\n
A. Cloud Computing Explained: Great simple explanation at http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QJncFirhjPg&feature=related<\/p>\n
B. Larry Ellison audio only “What the Hell is Cloud Computing?” (this is funny…. he says ‘Cloud is the new SaaS….when is this idiocy going to stop?”)
\nhttp:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0FacYAI6DY0&feature=related <\/p>\n
C. Steve Ballmer on Cloud Computing (to paraphrase: I thought I understood, then heard others using the term completely differently this morning” http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ODE8-D-ABb0&feature=related <\/p>\n
D. Explaining Cloud Computing http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hplXnFUlPmg&feature=related – great if you like explanations in Christopher Barnatt’s British accent.<\/p>\n
E. Cloud Computing in Plain English “What isn’t cloud computing?” http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XdBd14rjcs0&feature=related<\/p>\n
if you are not yet confused, here’s the next conundrum….<\/p>\n
F. Platform as a Service – (full disclosure, I contributed some words to this entry – but hey, no pride of authorship, this is evolving) http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Platform_as_a_service<\/p>\n
Which made the most sense to you?<\/p>\n
ok… back to Judy Collins.<\/p>\n
