Living In THE CLOUD
Cloud computing has become a hot term these days, with the onslaught of NetBooks - people are accepting the concept of Information/Software/Apps as a Service (SAAS, IAAS, AAS). I've been talking about this for a long time, actually it was Larry Elison of Oracle who talked about this first - he used the term, Dumb Terminals. Bill Gates certainly rubbed it off. But today, If we have enough computing power and bandwidth - we can easily live the Cloud Lifestyle.
I've recently purchased the MacBook Air (after switching a year ago to Mac) - and I'm reorganizing my life around this. This means simplifying a lot of things. Chucking out apps that I don't need, reorganizing my desktop (real one). Decluttering and eliminating stuff, applications, subscriptions etc is essential to this.
Furthermore, I'm also learning alot from experts like Steve Rubel of Micropersuasion.com and building my own knowledgebase of cloud computing, living a nomadic life (at avcion.pbwiki.com). One thing I've learn from my previous consulting profession, was that you should be very familiar with your tools if you really want to use them efficiently.
To end this, I'm adding a photo on Steve Jobs, yes life was simpler - it still can be!:

"This was a very typical time. I was single. All you needed was a cup of tea, a light, and your stereo, you know, and that's what I had."..... Steve Jobs.
