Engineers Unplugged

I’ve been very fortunate to be able to work alongside Amy Lewis (@commsninja) at various conferences and other community projects for Cisco. One of her more brilliant ideas, alongside #vBacon Tweetups, was the EngineersUnplugged video series.

These videos run about 7 minutes and put two technologists face to face with a whiteboard and a topic. You can find the series at www.engineersunplugged.com where you can also subscribe to the YouTube channel. We’re still a bit early on in the project but there are some seriously excellent conversations being had

Normally with Engineers Unplugged I’m behind the camera but every once in a while Amy puts me front and center (more of those to come I’m sure). This time it was with my buddy Mike Laverick talking about the role of the Cloud Architect

Not only will I sing with Mike Laverick (Mike_Laverick), but I’m apparently his board-wiping lackey. LOL I’m always happy to talk with Mike and was glad to continue our ongoing conversation about what the new role of a Cloud Architect is and how it differs from traditional IT roles.
