- PublicOne thing I'm seeing, as we write our book, "the Age of Context" that there's a huge amount of interest in a more flexible cloud. Open Source FTW!
Which cloud is your business betting on?
I just published a poll that you can watch instantly: http://gopollgo.com/which-cloud-is-your-business-betting-on

Please allow me to exaggerate my thinking.
From a developer point of view, after browsing dozens of webpages about OpenStack, I still don't have a clear sense of what I can really do with it. All the docs are about how to set it up, how to install a VM on my laptop to simulate a cloud, or how to develop OpenStack itself.
But I just don't care.
I want to know how I'm going to connect my Eclipse or other IDE to it and get some work done.
On the other hand, if you consider Amazon EC2 or Google Cloud, they don't confuse the user with all that stuff: it's an internal issue.
I think OpenStack will really take off when it takes a user-centric perspective, far from sysadmin speech.
OpenStack is great, but it currently looks "Linux early days" too much!

- PublicThey sent +Scott Jarvie a hoodie with his name stitched into it.
Scott is one of the top wedding and people photographers in the world and loves SmugMug ( http://www.smugmug.com ).
Since I am talking about what a startup did well in the comments I will bag on Startups. Turns out a lot of them don't do things as well as Smugmug....Expand this post »

- PublicThis is what real photographers do: they bring their own lights. Heheh.
Robert Scoble
- PublicHow could I resist?
When +Scott Jarvie says "meet me at +Robert Scoble's house for a sunset shoot"... you say okay.
I'm glad I did, and as Robert was quick to point out this area where a small stream was flowing into the ocean, I will be quick to say "thanks Robert, great location".... and here you have it. I do hope the colors are decent. I'm not used to doing an edit on a little laptop.
Sunset date: January 3rd, 2013
Location: Half Moon Bay, California.

- PublicIt's amazing to me when I hear that famous execs don't give photographers much time to work. That makes no sense to me at all.
Impromptu couple pictures while taking sunset pictures along the shoreline in Half Moon Bay with +Robert Scoble and +Maryam Scoble
Then we had an awesome dinner and now we're playing with technology.
Loved doing the landscape/oceanscape pictures as well tonight... it's a great location here.
Robert Scoble
- PublicOh, and here's a little audio for you to listen to: https://soundcloud.com/scobleizer/shooting-awesome-sunset-with about what we were doing.
Thanks for sharing. And for your recommendations. I will definetely follow those photographers which I guess you know well. I can see they produce some maqnifique photos!
