In Between Successes – The Career Pyramid
Many years ago, I heard a career counselor talking about the time between jobs. He said never to call them "jobs" but rather "successes." Using the word "success" to describe employment is a way to keep your outlook positive and convey that same positivity out to others. Ever since I heard that career coach, I have always used that term …

Agile Development & Big Data Management – Perfect for the Cloud
I’m a firm believer that cloud computing helps companies innovate. It provides resources, services and infrastructure at a fraction of the cost and in less time than it would with a traditional infrastructure rollout. By dramatically reducing internal times to deployment and capital expenditures, businesses are given the ability to iterate more quickly, be more competitive in releasing products and…

Cloud Computing in Cars? Extending Powerful Compute Cycles to your Phone via the Cloud? Intel Knows How!
I'm always "in the cloud" with my day job as Technology Evangelist for GoGrid, and all of the rest of the time, I'm working on the HighTechDad side of my life (parenting and technology). Yeah, I sleep once and a while as well. Sometimes, both of these jobs intermingle and that intersection is cloud computing. I first started talking about…

The Ever-Changing Weather of the “Clouds” – What is Cloud Computing Anyway?
I would think that by now, many of you would have heard the term "Cloud" used when talking about Internet "stuff." In passing, a common phrase thrown around is "it's saved to the Cloud" or "it's in the Cloud." So, that's fine, but many people don't know what that really means.

10 Tips for StartUps to Survive the “Recession”
“Don’t Panic!†These are two words (made popular by Douglas Adams in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy) that every day become more appropriate and valid.

Why Clouds Create Community
This is a re-post of an article I wrote on the GoGrid blog. Clouds are sexy right now. In this article, I tracked how "Cloud Computing" is becoming a hot, up and coming Google Search term. But why is it that there are so many new user communities that are conglomerating around "the cloud" versus other more traditional hosting concepts.…

GoGrid and RockBox and Video Podcasts
So GoGrid and RockBox are not related, not related at all for that matter. However, the two are joined together in this video PodCast episode of Gadget Guy on Linux Journal. I am writing about this for a variety of reasons: RockBox looks like a great way to re-use old MP3 players GoGrid is a great product (heck, I work…

Web 2.0 Expo – Day 1 – Quick Comments & HighTechDad meets iJustine
Web 2.0 Expo kicked off today in San Francisco.

After a quick scramble of sign printing, stunt creation (look for the guy circling Moscone on a…
