From chaos comes order

Begin at the beginning

"From chaos comes order" - Friedrich Nietzsche The more I look at data centers, and how to make them more efficient and environmentally responsible, the more I am convinced that there is something to that. So how do we get from chaos to order? Well, like any good design process, the first step is to ask the right questions. That is the starting point of this blog. Trying to figure out what some of those "right questions" are. I hope those questions will spur comments, discussion, participation. (After all, this is the participation age.) Who am I? Rob Snevely My background is a bit "different", including theater, art history, and tweaking on cars. I bring this up because some of the references you might see in this blog may use ideas from other (read: non-computer) areas. When I do, I will try to remember to provide a bit of background and/or a link or two. For example, here is a link to what wikipedia.org has on Nietzsche. If you just can't wait for a bigger chunk of info on my general thinking about data center design, you can find the foundations of it in this book.

What is next for my blog?
