Taylor's Take on Sun Storage
My storage team and I focus on three of the most important aspects in any industry: customers, competitors and market trends. There is insight to gain and share in this role, so here is our take on Sun and Storage - Taylor Allis
The Internet is the Medium
My best friend and 'ol college roomie Hari Sreenivasan is a CBS News Correspondent (see his handsome mugshot here). 
Hari just did a pretty cool story on 3D sidewalk chalk drawings by artist Julian Beever. See Hari's CBS News Video.
About ten years ago I remember brainstorming about the future of the Internet - the thought was that the Internet will be less like a new communications channel and more like an actual medium for new content and services.
That's what makes Hari's story so cool - look at about 4:40 into the video. Hari asks about Julian's art lasting past the next rainfall. Here is Julian's answer:
"It doesn't worry me at all - the fact the drawing will disappear after a couple of days in the rain. Because the final product is the photograph, and if that photograph goes on the Internet then thousands of people will see it and it will be there forever."
You can see Julian Beever's canvas by just searching for his name on YouTube...

Taylor,
Thanks for the introduction to some amazing art. Julian is correct. The digital form will live on for much longer, will be easier to find, and available for more to see. I just loaded up some pictures onto a social networking site. The pictures were from a session in Ireland at a pub called "The Wishing Well" about three years ago. It took me two seconds to find them in my in box, which seems never to run out of space. If I had filed them away, or put them in a photo album, I might never have found them.
