Just about everything you interact with digitally is enabled by the cloud. Whether you’re doom-scrolling on Instagram, binge-watching on Netflix, ride-hailing on Uber, or downloading super-cool cloud podcasts (hint, hint) on Spotify, you’re using the cloud.

But most people don’t have any idea what the cloud is, where it came from, or what we, as a species, spend on it. Episode One of “Cloud Atlas” goes back to the birthplace of the cloud: a little digital bookstore called Amazon.com.

Cloud Atlas, Episode 1: The Cloud Gathers

Known as the "Computer Lady" Michelle Cox is a breast cancer survivor. She had an epiphany while at home healing from her breast cancer diagnosis. Her desire was to leave this world a little better place to live in and perform work that makes a positive contribution to communities.
She used her real life experience as computer hardware instructor and technical writer to publish the first book in her "Mommy Reader's Collection" titled "Mommy Is The Computer Smarter Than Me."
Most children use a computer as early as age two but still have questions. This book is designed to help them with those questions. Cox's goal is to give away over one million copies of the e-book version.
She continues to add to the Mommy Reader's Collection including a book on being an entrepreneur. 
Although retired from teaching computers, she continues as the executive computer instructor working with private clients

Ambivalent television viewers, Erin and Cam, soar the small screen skies for the best, and worst, television pilots.

I'm ExExJesus and this is the Disney Channel 0.o

🎶 Fl@ke – Quand l’électro rencontre l’organique 🎶

Musicien passionné, j’ai forgé mon expérience au sein de différents groupes pop, rock et métal, avant de me lancer en solo sous l’avatar Fl@ke. Mon projet fusionne electro house et instruments live, mêlant beats immersifs, nappes mélodiques et textures organiques.

Armé de claviers, guitares et sampleurs, je cherche à capturer une énergie hybride : celle où l’électronique et l’instrumental se rencontrent pour créer une expérience à la fois puissante et spontanée. Je dois le lancement de ce projet à Twinkiz 

🎶 Fl@ke – Where Electro Meets Organic 🎶

A passionate musician, I honed my skills playing in various pop, rock, and metal bands before launching my solo project as Fl@ke. My music blends electro house with live instruments, fusing immersive beats, melodic textures, and organic sounds.

Armed with keyboards, guitars, and samplers, I aim to create a hybrid energy—where electronic music meets the spontaneity and dynamics of live performance. I also owe the start of this project to Twinkiz

Tim O’Keefe is a New York City based creative known for his scoring & audio art work having scored a variety of feature films, documentaries, film installations, and branded content.  Highlights include As I Lay Dying (James Franco), State of Surveillance (VICE on HBO), Raw Craft with Anthony Bourdain, Tales of Our Times (Guggenheim Museum), and Ai Weiwei Introduces “Turn It On_ China on Film”.  His agency work includes scoring spots for Ferrari, Gucci, Nike, and NARS.  Films he has scored have premiered at Cannes, Venice, Sundance, Gagosian Gallery, PACE Gallery, MoMA, and MOCA.  In addition to his scoring work, Tim has written & produced music with a diverse range of artists including electronic music pioneer Hans-Joachim Roedelius (Cluster), famed Motown music icon Smokey Robinson, and bassist Andy Rourke of the UK’s legendary band The Smiths.

Tim co-founded Freedom Beat, a social justice organization focused on the role of music in global nonviolent civil resistance movements.  He produced over 30 short form documentaries highlighting significant international music artists and the movements they are associated with.  As a producer, he would research social justice movements, artists connected to their cause, recruit local production teams & academic experts, and coordinate each film's production. His interest in nonviolent civil resistance led him to be invited to participate in the Fletcher Summer Institute for the Advanced Study of Nonviolent Conflict at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy.  His films have been screened at the United States Institute of Peace in Washington, D.C., and at Sweden's Urban Voices Festival.  Bringing together his interest in politics, policy, storytelling, and audio, Tim has worked as a producer & sound designer on a variety of podasts including The United States Institute of Peace & Burning Man Project’s Culturally Attuned podcast series and Revolution 1: The Story of The Tunisian Uprising.

Tim's creative interests span many mediums including music, sound, podcast, film, and code-based interactive art.  He is particularly interested in social impact driven projects at the intersection of art, politics, and technology.  He received his MFA in Digital+Media from Rhode Island School of Design in 2012.  He was the film editor of a number of music videos that premiered in Rolling Stone, VICE, Interview Magazine, and Paper Magazine including REM's That Someone Is You which was directed by James Franco.

O'Keefe performs live with a focus on hardware-driven sets (analog synths, drum machines, and sequencers), in addition to DJing.
