Dead laptops and practical cloud computing
My infrequency of posts over the last two weeks is the result of a dead laptop. I'm back up with a loaner but I've lost a lot of time trying to resuscitate the old one and configure the loaner so no extended posts for me. Over on MartinKelley.com, I took a moment to use the experience to talk about consumer-level "cloud computing." Because most of my e-life is online, surprisingly little is lost to me from the laptop that won't turn on.

Once upon a time having a suddenly dead computer in the middle of a bunch of big projects would have been disaster. But over the last few years I've been putting more and more of my data "in the cloud," that is: with software services that store it for me.
