I do see him, and yet I don’t see him. I know he’s here, immersed in his pod. The red light is on, so he’s active and cannot be disturbed. This morning he woke up with the rest of the family, chatted briefly over breakfast, and then disappeared. Through the rest of the day, I know I’ll see him, yet I won’t be with him. read more

In the latter stages of the 20th century, we discovered our history through whatever had been recorded in literature and art. We knew about Shakespeare, because he wrote plays that were published and performed. We knew of Napoleon, because people wrote about, and painted, him. We knew more about Churchill through all of those above plus the advent of moving pictures and recorded voice.
With the advent of social media, it becomes apparent that each of us is revealed even further. The more we tweet, the more we use facebook, the more we blog, the more we create photographs and film, the more the internet knows about us. Not just as a record of activity, but increasingly as a record of the way we are. Our character. Our charisma (or not). Our humour (or not). Our essence. read more

In 1983 Greg LeMond (an American cyclist) won the UCI Road Race Championship, an individual event, but generally won by a rider in the strongest national team. At the time the Americans struggled to actually field a professional team.
The story goes that Greg turned up at the start of the race in his own car, took his bike off the roof, took off his jeans and rode down to the start; to win. When asked afterwards, how one man had beaten them, the puzzled teams of world superstars replied “How do you beat a man who doesn’t know the rules?”
The very same thing applies to IT Solutions and Services today. How do you win when you don’t know the rules? Cloud has torn-up the established rule book, existing definitions and domains have become blurred, distorted or no longer exist.
