Cloud

1. a visible mass of condensed water vapor floating in the atmosphere, typically high above the ground.*

Seems like it wasn't that long ago "Cloud" was a weather condition.  I remember my dad describing the various types of clouds and what we could expect when we saw them.  Those conversations guided my cloud thoughts well into my adult life.  But then, along came Cloud Computing.  

As we approach another Super Bowl weekend and potentially historic game if you are a Tom Brady fan, the subject of security inevitably comes up.  The Super Bowl provides an incredible challenge to the hosting city, Minneapolis Minnesota in this case.  Tens of thousands of fans have descended on a city that's enjoying the hottest party in the country in the midst of a deep freeze.  The logistics required to support the Super Bowl are mind numbing and the arctic temps will make it even more so.  High temp on game day?  6 degrees...  Justin Timberlake will be grateful for a covered stadium I'm guessing!
