We had a pretty good turnout for Clint’s talk on cloud computing. Afterwards, we played Gears of War 2 on the 4 Xbox 360’s he brought down. There were prizes ranging from a copy of Windows Vista to a copy of Gears of War 2 to Microsoft t-shirts. Clint also left us with some prizes for the next MinerLAN – thanks Clint!
Clint’s website is http://www.betterthaneveryone.com/. In addition, he recorded his presentation and will be posting it to Channel8. We’ll link to it when it’s available.
