Cloud Computing and The Weirdest Clouds that You’ll Ever See

Since I've been working on the CSix Cloud Computing SIG website the past two weeks, I have clouds on the brain. Although the clouds in the sky don't have much to do with

I still like looking at them.

I loved this article on The Weirdest Clouds that You’ll Ever See on Webdesigner Depot. So many very amazing pictures of clouds.
