Dalek cage
This is a snug single person Faraday cage to enable the lucky person inside to get up close and personal with 6 foot sparks. It's shape is reminiscent of a Dalek from Dr Who. Remember "We will ex-term-in-ate". It is a simple walk in and walk out affair, open at the back.

The data center announcement follows similar recent deals in North Carolina, South Carolina and Oklahoma for Google centers. And, when we say "similar," we mean it.
Google seems to have picked $600m as it default data center figure to hand to the press. That price, according to information provided by the company, includes the cost of the land, the construction of the building and the purchase of all the computer gear. Google has handed out the same $600m figure in all four states, which seems odd since it's creating new buildings in some locations, while retrofitting buildings in others.

Newsweek journalist Steven Levy thought it might be a good idea to get the two together, and sat in on a lunch between the Congressman and the mixtape artist and performer.
