Condensed, says Shaun!

Cool way to spell condensation, don't you think?

How secure can the cloud be? Fairly, says Alistair Croll and based on info he has regarding AWS recent "off the air" stint, this might be security attack. Now, Simon wishes a situation where you can easily switch would be a perfect foil to such cloud malice. Agree.

Lost count already but Web 2.0 and clouds are selling like pancakes. Still we look forward to couple more.

Can social media really translate into dough? Scoble asks the same thing about some other things a company does. Talk about lessons in corporate brilliance, eh.

Big in Japan' is happening June 20-22. RubyKaigi2008.

The world of intangibles will govern that of the hard. Kevin Kelly's online book, New Rules for the New Economy. Go read. Just in case you haven't yet.

Library of Congress. How I'd love to stay there and read my time away and Google occasionally, too.

I've always thought that deep is kind of cool to say about a person. But looks like using Google isn't helping promote deep reading which Nick Carr has a beef with. Same feelings here. Information overload but honestly, it may well because I'm not satisfied with the top of search lists. From Google, I go Gobble.

If it is being a smart(-@ss) that you want. Google some more and JB thinks it still has value.

Tom Davenport realizes that it's no use battling new media and we now have the attention span of kids so KISS (Keep it Short and Simple). No more Cervantes novels for now, just JK Rowling and Dan Browns. Bless them all authors.

Parting shot. Knowledge isn't wisdom :)

Speaking of which, why not go analog.? Go for the napkin. And I don't mean sobbing. Via Garr Reynolds who is a Zen Master himself.

Going to an event? What do you look for after the title? Topics or Sponsors? Like most people, marketing pitches during events drag me down but so do bland presentations. Here's Dave and Dennis on upcoming Enterprise 2.0. Ironic that they can't collaborate. I think they both mean well.

"Save Me From Syncing, Fast" and other Provocations!

Already tried Buzzword? Funny as it reminded me of Lunarr which is equally cool but I feel is also under-promoted.

Cloud = tedious syncing, hopefully not says John Stokes.

Provocations: Thinking isn't work? Think again. Prof. Andrew's at this again via MLab and so are some CEOs. Senor Ross Mayfield also covers this one. The man behind it: Gary Hamel

About time. These are the Rights I should concern myself with.

Trad Vendors: SaaS Will Bite You in The -Aas

Traditional ISVs who now plan to shift to SaaS. "It's like letting loose the pesky dog you're trying to discipline. Time to get a hamster."

On Open Standards and Open Sourced Standards. Simon just took me back to school and talked GPLv3 to me.

How international capital flows would be affected by SaaS. Tell me it won't all just funnel back to North America.

SaaS Platform Wars: Java come out jabbing. Stop fighting kids.

Again, again, again. SaaS Hosting - the way textbooks would present it in school.

Grand Time

OSS.ph. It's time. And look who's stalking...

It's really, about time. Some other year, this iron-willed lady could have won it but hey, maybe some other time.

For later. It's Firefox that is making my Mac sluggish most of the time because of all the open tabs but that shouldn't be the case as there are other ways thanks to RWW.

We'll see how it turns out. The business of Cloud is happening in Boston.

Thoughts and prayers still to our brothers in Myanmar and China. There are lots of ways to help and most are just a click away.

QuickEeds: Acrobatic Sounds SaaS to me.

Time was when it was just known for it being a document file that is really secure for things we don't want to be edited. But oh, how time changes quickly with technology. Really quick as I have yet to try this. Love the dark color, though.

RailsConf 08 Summary: Cute

RailsConf 08 is officially over but for those who missed attending the event, you can still bask in the experiences through the attendees who took the time to blog and capture in video most ,if not all, that happened there.

Prolific Drew. Probably the most comprehensive of all the updates from Day 1 to close.

Congratulations to the winners of the Ruby Hero Awards presented by the RailsEnvy duo. See it here but prepare a plastic bag in case you, t____-up from the excellent camera work.

Finally, Charles was kind enough to post something about our Guy's prezzo. We're flattered-silly :-)
