it’s just a warehouse; they take your driver’s license, they scan you in, inspect your eyeballs and make sure that you’re not some bad person. there’s a large area full of servers and wires and it’s unbelievably hot. but what was especially endearing about my experience was that my cloud provider, byron patrick from simplified innovations, couldn’t contain his excitement about taking me. he was like a kid in a candy shop. it must be a techie thing.
