I am looking around my Google Account Ecosystem and playing. Since the addition of Google Buzz I spend more time looking at my profile page.
My buzzs' come up more in searches so I tend to stumble on my kinlane-productions2ore.
I have used iGoogle as my home page since...I can't remember. Its been yea...
I've been paying attention to the Google Cloud Print project at Google Code. With Google Cloud Print you can:
Register any printer to be accessible via the Internet for printing by authorized users
Allow authorized users to print to this device with multiple devices (desktop, laptop, mobile phone)
Seem like as a business owner I would be able to temporarily open up my printer for a ...
Everyone is talking about cloud computing these days in the tech industry. I just stopped doing some more work on a comprehensive list of cloud computing service providers.
One of the key components of cloud computing is scalable, pay for what you use computing utilities.
When are we going...
I was re-reading a blog post I had starred called The Situationally Aware Business. Great post about a companies awareness of their brand, customers and world around them in real-time.
I have been in the Amazon Console all night scaling down infrastructure after 3 months of events and conferences. This year our Amazon spend was double during the event season. Last year I pushed what my budget would allow to achieve better performance, it paid off. This year I got the thumbs up to push eve...
Having fun playing with Google Sites API today. Audrey is setting up Wikis for different research areas to support her new Hack Education site. I am reviving my cloud computing research wiki. I am looking for new ways to keep sections of the wiki alive programatically. A couple ways I've brainstormed:
Data is the center of my world. I enjoy that there are finally great places on the Internet get open large data sets such as Factual and Google Fusion Tables. However much of the data I want for different purposes is not neatly organized into an easily accessible data set or available on the Internet.
XAuth is a standard that is going to help make the social web smarter and more relevant. The goal of XAuth is to create a more relevant social experience across the web, and it is truly exciting that all of our partners are united on this front.
It includes a light-weight XAuth JavaScript library that will allow service providers like Google, Microsoft, MySpace, Yahoo! to extend authe...
Facebook has long been a thorn in my side when it came to social application development. They just haven't played nice with the other kids on the playground. They cause extra work for us developers, but we have to do it....because that is where your users are. It is very much like Microsoft play in the browser game for the last 10 years.
I gave into Microsofts game for a while, and same with Facebook. However I convert every person I can to
One of the reasons I blog is to provide a focus to my research and learning. I use this research to help me revisit many of the technologies that I stay in tune with. With many of the top cloud providers I like to step back and look at what they offer from time to time to see if I have missed anything or may see things in a different light.

Its been a while since I made any changes to my blog. I haven't given my blog much love at all lately.
I could easily blame work and say I don't have time. I do not think that is it.
I just started feeling like I wasn't saying much at all, there was no organization to my approach.

I was spending time organizing my Google Contacts. Up until now they really didn't "require" any sort of organization.
Then I was playing with Google Buzz and seeing how I can use as part of my communication and production platform.
