The cloud is a de facto place now for storage and for software. For ordinary researchers, it is not as easy to use as one would hope. This column explores how a researcher painlessly leverages the cloud to archive, share and publish scientific data that is richer than text; and to showcase experimental tools in any environment, for review or classes. We coin the phrases middleware and baseware as they apply to the cloud and give two examples of middleware that is freely available for data and for software curation and sharing. We end with some ideas about the future of the cloud from the industry-researcher standpoint.
