I have nothing really to comment on this other then it is really neat.
“Our ‘Gen 4′ modular datacenters will take the flexibility of containerized servers — like those in our Chicago datacenter — and apply it across the entire facility,”
Another CanUX has come and gone. Thanks to the fine folks at nForm for putting on another great event. Avi sums it up nicely.
Thinking of how good CANUX was this year. Good vibe, good minds, good mountains. – Avi Soudack
CanUX for me is a homecoming I get to see to see friends like Anthony, Yvonne, Trevor, Avi, Jess, Betsy, Gene, Kaleem, Saleem and Jerome. It would have been nice if David could have made it but we all understand and wish him the best. I also get to meet new friends like Jess, David, Sarah, Jenny, Toby, Dennis, Gordon, Matt, Luke, Shane, Brandon, Colette, Dave and many other people I am no doubt forgetting.
There is lots of great coverage of the conference photos on Flickr and posts from:

Paula Thorton pointed these post out this morning and there are actually a quick, interesting read.
Over at the Jive Software blog, Go Big Always, there are two interviews with attendees of the Jive Enterprise UI Summit.
First up is SAP’s Dan Rosenberg.
Do you see change occurring and if so, what’s driving that change?
The main thing that is changing is that the buying decision for enterprise software is moving from the CIO level and into the hands of the users themselves. These users have expectations based on popular retail products and the web.
Followed by Adobe’s Matthias Zeller
Do you see change occurring and if so, what’s driving that change?
Absolutely. I think engaging an easy to use user interface has become a sales driver and competitive differentiator in the world of enterprise software.
I’m honestly much more inclined to think like Dan Rosenberg over Matthias Zeller but that is because I am a pragmatist. That being said I certainly understand the potential for skunkworks
enterprise mashups.
So this is the view from my temporary housing. Today was pretty wild. Veronica and Sadie flew home to Toronto and I had new employee orientation where I received a mountain of materials to read. This is material that doesn’t even have to do with my job. I’m going to have some late nights doing some elearning I think.
It’s very exciting. I’m going to refresh Seattle with Craig on Wednesday and there is some crazy picnic this weekend that people are talking about.

This is a project that can help bryce justify his playmobil collection which is considerable.
