How Do You Read?

I'm a voracious reader. However, I have one question: Would you prefer paper to screen? 

Would you enjoy a book better if it were on a few dead trees or a few electrons? Would it make a difference if you saved the trees in this world? What would you do if your electronic device ran out of battery power? Would you be able to fall asleep reading, without worrying about crushing the screen? Would you be able to save space in your home? What are you doing? Are you using an iPhone or Kindle or Sony eReader?

Ok, so that wasnt one question. But you get the drift... to those bookworms out there, help this fellow decide!

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!:

CAPTION FOR PHOTO
"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.
