Top 5 Technologies in 2015
The new year brought with it the chance to reflect on technologies that I see making a splash in the coming year. I’m enthralled by big data and analytics but I’m not a data scientist; likewise, I only see so much value in the wearables themselves, although they’ll certainly feed the big data beast.

Web Hosting Provider Cutover

I’ll tell the somewhat longer version of the story in this blog post though since there are a couple of interesting corollaries along the way.
