It's time to share my next thing. But first -- more Strange But True Cloud Facts! (thread/)
The cloud won't save you money. This is bad news if the primary goal of your business is to spend less money. #StrangeButTrueCloudFacts

.@jeremy_daly is secretly just three Lambda functions in a trench coat. #StrangeButTrueCloudFacts
@jeremy_daly There is no cloud service for overcoming organizational inertia. #StrangeButTrueCloudFacts

@jeremy_daly @QuinnyPig So, the announcement: I've accepted a full-time role at A Cloud Guru/Linux Academy. I'm excited to tell the strange but true story of the cloud through words, cartoons, music, and who knows what else. Much more to come. Stay tuned...
