Now that we have that covered, how about the blog? Long story short, I like things that make my life simpler and more convenient. Consumer technology has a tendency to do that. I also happen to like technology. Boom - reason to have a blog, right? So, this blog is basically about leveraging technology and cloud computing/storage to make your life simpler and more enjoyable. To narrow the scope a little, it's about storing and accessing your digital stuff in the metaphorical "cloud" you've probably heard about but don't really understand, so you don't bother with it. Except if you own a modern smartphone, you almost certainly already use the cloud to some extent. By the "cloud," I'm referring to the digital information you store on a service provider's remote servers that, at least in theory, should make retrieving that information more convenient.
No one should confuse me with an expert (whatever that is, anyway) or journalist, nor is this thread aimed at business IT solutions. Basically, I'm just a guy who apparently knows slightly more than the average person about this stuff, so this is advice to the average, non-technophobe, person. For example, I'll discuss making your music digital and ways to have that document you just created accessible anywhere without having to e-mail it to yourself (like I did in college all the time). That's at least mildly useful, right? I also welcome new topic suggestions, (polite) critiques or corrections, comments, and feedback. So, enjoy!
