Cloud vs Accessing the Internet

I like Cloud Computing.  It makes life easier.  The problem with it is being able to access it.  Face it, cellular companies are putting a cap on usage.  Connection speeds varies. Therefore, whatever I put on the Cloud, I have to say to myself “Self, you going to be okay if you don’t have 100% access to it?”

Freebase

I just received a beta invite to Small Demons.  As I was perusing, it reminded me of an idea that I had during my graduate days.  As I was looking through the site, I noticed in the footer, there was a link to Freebase.

“Freebase is an open, Creative Commons licensed repository of structured data of almost 22 million entities.”

As I started to go through the Freebase site, I got excited.  This is something that I need to make my idea happen.
