This Week in Backspin: The Tao of IT: Lesson One

In Backspin this week we visit an amazing carrier hotel, One Wilshire, which leads us to discuss Lesson One of the Tao of IT; Wanting and Needing. Ah, grasshopper.

Why did you list the address?

Gee, thanks for letting everyone know where this 'hub' is located. Any terrorist reading this now has a new target for really disrupting business. I hope they have good security.

I'm guessing that the terrorists already knew where One Wilshire is … just Google for "carrier hotel" and voila! The only thing that isn't listed is cafeteria menu. And yep, the security there was very good – you get the impression that if you cough wrong the next thing you'll hear is the snap of a rubber glove.

Building as target

Not only has One Wilshire been evacuated before due to threats, but plans for the building were found in Afghanistan after the US invasion.

FYI.
