From mochas to machinery
James Governor, the host of ThingMonk, put this video out before the event. He very nicely outlines how the IoT encourages innovation by accident from its wide range of applications. The coffee machine mentioned in the video was in fact fitted with sensors and successfully connected to the Internet in the first day of the thing monk conference. This was during the interesting few hours where the electricity had cut out and the members of the conference continued talking and hacking by candlelight.

The cloud's an enabler, not the point
More and more, it seems obvious that the cloud is simply an enabler of other - more interesting - things. Virtual machines, public versus private, open versus proprietary, and all the rest. They're mere tweakings around the edges of something that should simply exist to permit the real work to get done.
I am, of course, biased, but one of the fundamental things that cloud seems - to me - to enable is smarter, cheaper, faster, easier, more connected use, reuse and exploitation of data. A plethora of business models are taking shape in this area. Some will succeed, but many will fail.
James Governor captured the idea nicely, with the title of his latest blog post; The Cloud is a petri dish, new data culture is growing. Indeed.
A couple of weeks ago I went to New York City as a guest of IBM’s mainframe group for an analyst summit. You may think mainframes are long gone by now but if you use a bank, or book a flight, or use the Post Office, you’re using a mainframe. These systems continue to be the basis for a huge percentage of transactions worldwide. System z isn’t just about legacy though- 20% of new sales are to run Linux workloads.
