Concrete Skyline goes to Boston

I'm writing from inside a MCI Worldcom colocation center in Billerica, MA. It's an industrial building in a forest basically. The facility is really big. And there's a lot of servers. It's about 78 degrees and humid. Hope it cools down back home. It'll rain here tomorrow and then through the end of the week.

How did you get to Massachussetts so fast? I just saw you last night!

It was the "Spare the Air" day. He saved so much time buying a BART ticket this morning to SFO that it seems almost as if he was magically transported there.

Yes, inside the building is an entirely different environment. If you're in an even numbered row (a row with the faces of servers facing you, it's chilly and you need a sweater on. If you're in an odd numbered row, with the rear ends of the servers facing you, it's like being in the hair-dryer-testing-facility. And the whole place is dry as a bone.

Outside is where it's warm and humid.
