This is going to be big for promoting 3D Printing.

Facebook’s New Data Center Collides With Atmospheric Science
It rained inside a Facebook Data Center.
It was due to high humidity and a chiller-less air conditioning system coming together to produce a high concentration of irony and obvious cloud computing jokes.
Having worked in data centers before, I collect stories like this for use. It’s a good reminder of things people never think of.
You have a favorite crazy technology story?

Behind The Scenes And Loving It
So at the start of June I finished editing Serdar‘s next book, Flight of the Vajra.
Now you’ve heard him talk about it here, so you may be curious. All I can say is, yes, actually, it’s really good and will be well worth your time. I won’t go into much detail as it’s A) his book, and B) I want to discuss about how it relates to your career because that’s what I do here.
I’m a big, big advocate of using hobbies in jobs as you’ve kind of guessed by the fact i’ve been at this blog for five years. One of the things we miss though is that some of our hobbyist/amateur skills are relevant, but not spectacular.
