Touring Texas with the Bloggers Part 1: Cloud Factories
This week I attended HP ISS Tech Day at Hewlett-Packard's Houston facility along with several other bloggers. We were given a tour and demonstrations of HP's Industry Standard Servers (ISS) technology. We didn't see new, unreleased products and we didn't talk about potential tech breakthroughs of the future. We focused entirely on technologies HP offers today and how those technologies can benefit IT workers.
HP assumes clouds will be ubiquitous - either private or public - and the the ISS Tech Day was all about technologies making it easier and faster to deploy private clouds.

What's more, the HP technologies used in the imaging process can restore older, damaged copies of books back to their original form.
Online Print On Demand Space Heats Up
Last July, while the seventh Harry Potter book was setting sales records, we wrote a post detailing how to write and publish a book from start to finish. At the time, Lulu was easily the best self-service print on demand option available to fledgling authors. With limited fees, a thriving community, and distribution options that made it easy (relatively speaking) to get your book on store shelves, it was a no-brainer for many writers. Since that time, though, things have changed, and the burgeoning print on demand industry is starting to come into its own.
