Surprisingly colourful and beautiful. I'm tempted to order prints for a certain inmate to decorate his cell:
Theodore Kaczynski
USP FLORENCE ADMAX
U.S. PENITENTIARY
PO BOX 8500
FLORENCE, CO 81226

Attn.: prisoner number 04475–046

Dear Mr. Kaczynski:

Please find enclosed several prints of Google infrastructure. I feel certain you will appreciate their beauty.

Merry Christmas!

Antipatros
Be not too curious of Good and Evil;
Seek not to count the future waves of Time;
But be ye satisfied that you have light
Enough to take your step and find your foothold.

--T.S. Eliot

Looking at their photo essays made me wonder if the lowliest janitor at one of these data centers has a more fulfilling career than most college grads.

So the internet IS made of pipes?
“Christ has no body now but yours. Yours are the eyes through which he looks with compassion on this world. Yours are the feet with which he walks among His people to do good. Yours are the hands through which he blesses His creation.”
