When I think of grid computing, for some reason I think of my waffle iron. In addition to being grid-shaped, it makes high-performance waffles — nice and crisp with perfectly shaped ridges just waiting for the Vermont maple syrup layer. It’s also horizontally scalable — I can always get a friend to bring another waffle iron over to double my throughput. Alas, neither my waffle iron nor grid computing seem to get much use. — David Margulius. Waffle on grid computing. Technology Industry
