   – southern electric does not create custom electric for
     my home grown iron
   – APIs are the plug sockets of this generation
   – technology naval gazing is not cloud
   – commercial innovation is cloud

  not just for christmas
• 20% population cause
  70% of the pain
• when asking for cloud
  advice, beware!

Notas del editor

  1. chargeback, showback, brokeback? – @reillyusa
  2. business leaders like Pointy Haired Boss tend to fit the profile, referring to customers as inanimate and dumb objects to be manipulated whilst maintaining their own self delusion of grandiosity
  3. dogs have poor attention spans when it comes to squirrels, doesn’t make them psychopaths
  4. This book was recommended to me (not sure why), and you can also find Jon presenting at Ted online.
  5. This got me thinking: could the Hare methodology be applied and shine some light on cloud experts?Let’s go through the test and score yourself. At the end, we’ll see how you got on…
  6. Story about Emmi the psychologist who asked someone what emotion they saw in this picture, expecting an answer such as (ask audience) FEAR, but instead the candidate said “I don’t see any emotion, but that’s the face people make just before I kill them”
  7. my 2yr old correctly identified this as a cat drinking juice which to her is perfectly normalshe couldn’t identify the second picture which is (ask audience) a CYCLE PATH
  8. this is part fun part serious, and despite looking incredibly rigorous it really isn’t
  9. First set of ten questions, remember to score yourself and for bonus points think of questions and examples to share later…
  10. developeradmincioCSP
  11. @swardley’s electricity utility presentation is an example of a cloud topic one might want to explore, these are a list of common topicsit is highly likely that the kind of person you would seek counsel from literally has an axe to grind!
