What is the cloud?

In order for someone to understand how the cloud is taking over, we need to first define it. A technical definition is "a computing capability that provides an abstraction between the computing resource and its underlying technical architecture (e.g., servers, storage, networks), enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction." In other words, all of your data isn't stored on your computer anymore but rather on a server somewhere on the internet and therefore you can access it anywhere you go. This blog will focus on myself using resources around the internet to be completely in the cloud. I will try and have everything from my music collection, to do lists, health tracking and even my phone number on the internet to be access where ever I may be. I will try and update this blog every other day and update what websites and software I am using in order to become fully immersed in the cloud...
