Hey David, Thanks for contributing. Pete Skomoroch also does a lot of great work with Hadoop on Amazon Web Services. You can check out his great tutorials at DataWrangling.com and the Git repository for TrendingTopics.org. The more we get people to blog about these tools the better! Hopefully I'll be posting sometime soon as well.
