Both enterprise and consumer cloud adoption will lead the market into new realms. From the “cloud to the ground,” each chapter of our ebook looks back at the short history of cloud computing from the early stages of far off clouds, through the gathering clouds that turned into fog. Today that fog is shifting, and beginning to rain down the first drops of change. We sifted through our blog posts from 2006 onward to present a reflection of our thoughts at the time. Interspersed with each chapter are new, exclusive insights from friends, colleagues, and customers we met along the journey. Big thanks to our contributors: Fred Hoch, Edmund Sutcliffe, Krishnan Subramanian, James Elwood, Chad Lawler, and Patricia Seybold. Thank you to those who gladly let us share their works from over the years: Jeff Barr, Eric Knorr, James Governor, Chris Purrington, Chris Hoff, and Chris Swan.

Essays exploring the intimate yet universal intersection of one human life with trees. A 2024 selection by the Sierra Club, Wisconsin Chapter Book Club Finalist for the Midwest Book Awards! In sixteen essays, each named after a species of tree, Maureen Dunphy explores the nature of human-arboreal relationships, and how each of these trees has—literally—served as a friend, a confidante, or a place to rest. The depth and diversity of these relationships are revealed through essays that are both intimate and universal, moving and informative. While Dunphy's relationships with trees are unique and personal, her work reveals the deep-rooted complexity that connects all of humanity to our staunch, upright companions in life, the members of the "Standing Nation." Beyond providing oxygen, food, and shelter, trees can be sites of emotional refuge, sources of intellectual enrichment, and a boon to physical, mental, and spiritual health. With essays, such as "Stairway to Heaven: The American Sycamore" and "Rocky Mountain High: The Colorado Pinyon," Dunphy gives readers many ways to reimagine our relationships with nature and self. Within reflections of her personal experience, she skillfully integrates scientific facts to achieve a balance of passion and practicality. While technology, screens, and the stress of the modern world directs our attention elsewhere, Dunphy brings the reader back to the trees right outside our windows.

Frank Drew Hall (1864-1937) was the son of a Civil War veteran and preacher who grew up in small town Ohio. He learned the printing trade, took up the work of a missionary in the Dakota Territory, and later became Superintendent of the North Dakota Children's Home Society in Fargo - a role that earned him the title "Daddy Hall." In this newly published autobiography, Hall shares from the time of his birth to just before the United States entered World War I, at which time in 1916, he sat down to write his story. Additionally, Frank Hall was a family historian, and his research of genealogical charts and family records are included in the appendices. This wonderfully written biography, compiled with family photos, historical documents, and commentary by his great-great grandson, gives first-hand accounts of a time and place in American history few have the pleasure of reading about.
