Ron is knows as the "Grandfather of Possibilities."  Chances are you're using a credit card right now.  He invented the magnetic strip that contains digital information on the plastic. A consumate entrepreneur and inventor, Ron has rolled out many products/services which have made a positive impact on modern society.  It was an honor to have met and interviewed an icon like him. 

Curriculum on Steroids

Finalized a deal with a professional development services firm to re-brand online training materials.  The client's content is pretty strong.  Where we add value is the design and visual storytelling strategy.  The CEO was very happy with the few slides we mod'ed to serve as proof-of-concept (POC).  This was key and served as the catalyst for our snagging the project.

Lesson learned: pictures speak a thousand words!

Steve Jobs keynote address at the WWDC was interesting.  It seems that Apple has a different take on their cloud strategy.  For them, the cloud should be transparent to the users.  Users don't interact with the cloud - they don't even see it.  Apps do all the work in the background.  And I think this is the right cloud model.  Let the apps do the legwork, instead of us.  Please don't make us interact with the file system.

He even poked at the competitions' cloud model, stating that "other think that the cloud is a big hard disk in the sky."  Perhaps this is the first iteration of cloud computing.  I may be dating myself but the Internet has always been a cloud.  I remember myself (and my network engineers) drawing schematics of network infrastructure and using the cloud icon to symbolize the Internet.

The cloud has always been with us.  It's just that now, Apple has decided we don't need to see it.  Great for us.
