Strange Loop - Hear the AWS Buzz Via The Cloud Droplets Podcast
I am trying to create a strange loop here!
For the last couple of years I have been collecting articles about the Amazon Web Services and bookmarking them on the AWS Buzz feed on Delicious.
As I’ve noted in the past, I devour podcasts, listening to them in my car and when I walk. A week or two ago I was listening to the Cloud Droplets podcast by John M. Willis and was happy to hear John mention that he uses the AWS Buzz as one of his information sources. John takes the raw links that I post and adds a lot of good color around them.
This morning I was walking to the Bear Creek Park and Ride and a devious thought struck me. What if I bookmarked an article about John’s use of the Buzz and he then talks about it on the podcast? Would the entire universe collapse in on itself as a result? I doubt it, but its worth a shot!
Anyway, John, I really enjoy your podcast and actually look forward to having time alone when I walk so that I can listen to yet another one. It is always good to know who’s on the other end of an information product, especially one like a Delicious list which has no statistics or feedback mechanisms.
What’s funny is I wake up early every morning to try and analyze all of the “cloud” stories of the day before. I kept seeing all these really cool stories coming out of the AWSBUZZ and I had no idea they were yours. I’ll “try” and put a “catch” in my research process to ensure that I never “finally” go into a loop.
Good stuff. Thanks John

Jeff, I forwarded your problem to the people at CERN. They promised to use their latest toy, the LHC to find an answer - immediately after its relaunch. For the mean time I kindly ask you not to try this at home, as long I already made up my plans for summer holidays. Roland
