Here Comes the Sun...


[Is this man really standing in my new cubical space?]

In June, I’ll have spent six years working at the CNN Center in downtown Atlanta for Sports Illustrated’s Web site, via way of Turner Broadcasting and their Internet Technologies group.

During that time, I’ve worked in four different spaces. And for four of those six years, I’ve sat in cubicles or offices with no natural light nearby.

Currently, I sit in a cube in a great space – easy to get in and out of; lots of space; many meeting areas nearby – I couldn’t ask for anything more.

But there’s no natural light. I don’t care for that.

Well, word on the street is that’s all about to change. Below are some photos of a space that’s being built out that I’m told my group will occupy.

It overlooks Atlanta Centennial Park. It’s near the CNN.com newsroom; and is beside the Omni Hotel lobby. It is actually a rectangular space that juts out away from the building and has 12-foot tall windows on two sides.

Here are some more photos:
