Power of the Cloud

Google’s Official Blog recently posted an article about Oliver Hicks and his two-year venture of being the first person to row around the world. His venture is largely sponsored by Virgin.

I have one word to express my thoughts on this: wow.

This opportunity and life experience sounds absolutely amazing.

Google jumped at the opportunity to help support Hicks and his venture around the world. Hicks has a waterproof laptop and a satellite uplink to provide him constant communication with the world.

Where will all his blog posts, videos, voice recordings, and life-stream be stored?
In the cloud[s].

This two-year venture sounds like an amazing [and life-changing] opportunity. I want to say, publicly, that Ginside.com is behind Hicks with full support.

I will be posting more updates as he progresses.
