Awesome!!

I wonder if they'll move the whole thing to BlueSeed when it's ready

interesting

Jered is doing a great thing here. The building looks pretty cool and those involved have a track record of getting things done. Hoping I get some time to visit soon.

Its a great idea and a great place!

I bought myself a bed and already moved into one of the rooms 

The interest in 'housing IT personnel' seems to be of some hot topic these days in certain circles.

I read some article recently about how to basically keep data center personnel mostly on-site (and comfortable) in association with some of the data mining and analysis operations which are going on, but I'll be damned if I can find the article now.  This article may or may not have been one which also described methods for monitoring IT personnel behavior changes.

I've oft theorized that one of the potential weak points in sweeping up vast amounts of data is that it is as or more likely to pull in data about those at the top of the control pyramid as it is those at the bottom.  So, people who happen to be able to tap into this data and make something of it...like copies...are a very weak link.  I bet that more than a few people have awaken in a cold sweat from a bad dream about Pvt. Manning.

It makes some sense to me insofar as there is a social aspect here.  Startups seem to have some relatively pronounced differences in terms of work environment and in terms of the life-ways of the personnel found within them.  I'm generalizing, of course, but the tendency is certainly present in my experience.   I'm not sure about the cause/effect relationship between these to observations.  Have not contemplated it that much I guess.

It is indeed an interesting observation that "corporate" = bad (Google), startup = "good" (Twitter?) to the "Occupy" scene.  I think it more of an observation of SWPL prejudices but I can't think of a corresponding similar prejudice on the "right," do right wingers love banks, big oil, and Wall Street? The Lew Rockwell variety doesn't and they seem to be completely ambivalent towards Twitter-like startups.  It is almost certainly an economic indicator of who has whom's stock options.  I also think blueseed is an awesome idea, Snow Crash becomes reality.  I for one would love it if blueseed would accept investment in bitcoins as that would be huge.

Lew Rockwell is one of the major libertarian names... he's definitely not "right wing"...

This looks really cool. Makes me want to move my firm to San Francisco. Not going to happen though, Finland has to do at least for now.

If I was 20 years younger, I'd be pretty close to the womb...
