You Can’t Make This Stuff Up
From the NY Times, a story about a government audit of ARPANet, the forerunner to the internet.
Dr. Hart, it says here that you’ve received 2,493,786,916 packets of bits. Is that correct?
And did all the packets arrive in good condition? Was there any corrosion or tarnish on any of the packets?

The Future of E-Publishing
The NY Times does some great interactive web graphics. But this is the coolest thing I’ve seen. Read the story, but if nothing else just scroll down to see the amazing design. The mountain fly-over in the middle of the story is awesome. Talk about making a story come alive…

Tech to the rescue–sort of

Sandy and Amazon
Amazon gets all the press when something goes wrong, because they are the biggest cloud provider.
A couple of alternative cloud providers, PEER 1 and Internap actually tweeted hints that Sandy might cause an Amazon outage. Both providers are located way downtown in Manhattan.

Bottom line, Amazon is still the best.
