In order to streamline my sites, I'm incorporating page breaks which is just a break in a long article in order to display more of my content on the front page. You will notice a Read more button at the end of some posts, that means there is more content than what is displayed on the cover page of my blog.

The "Cloud" Experiment
To anyone who knows much about emerging technology you have probably heard much hype about cloud computing. Amazon.com jumped on the bandwagon early as did VMware. Cloud computing sounds wonderful because there is no need for local storage, as in hard drives. Devices can be smaller and cheaper to produce. Tablets and laptops can be made without a real underlying operating system relying totally on cloud infrastructure. They boot much faster and need much less memory. Your personal data is stored in this magical mythical "cloud" environment. No matter where you are, your data is always there with you. Sounding awesome so far isn't it?
Amazon.com being an early adopter got it's first taste of cloud failure. Their cloud crashed and tons of people had no access to their data. It was a nightmare for Amazon. This sounded the alarm to many who were considering the jump into the "cloud."
VMware has put all it's eggs into the basket known as cloud computing, risky and in my opinion faulted. They have a great implementation with simple management and redundant controls that can move data seamlessly between servers with no down time. I like V-Sphere but again, I won't adopt it either.

Prediction Overview
Back on July 13th I wrote a post (The Scheme..In a Nutshell) describing my prediction of what was going to happen with the debt ceiling debacle. I was wrong on only one thing, they didn't allow the country to default.
Standard and Poor's has downgraded the country's credit rating which is going to raise interest rates on everything!
