Official Transitioner

Oddly Specific is a new blog being launched by the Cheezburger Network (you know, the people who brought you the dreadful cats, and the delightful FailBlog) today.  I’m actually really excited about this particular launch:

1. Who doesn’t love hilarious signs?  There aren’t that many so far, but definitely worth a look.
2. It’s run entirely on the new-ish Microsoft product, Azure.  Azure is a cloud development platform similar to Google AppEngine or Amazon EC2.  It’s looking like it will be running the full gamut between allowing you do anything you want (EC2) or forcing you into a pretty specific set of functionality/development (GAE).  I could see this freedom making it a pretty great success.
