My fancy new job is in an office building that is kind of inexplicably out on a pier sticking way into Boston Harbor, where enormous, ocean-crossing ships come in and out all day swapping mostly shipping containers with the large cranes across the channel from our windows. Today the Maersk Alaska rolled in, apparently empty. Unloaded, the thing is as big as a good-sized office building, like two or three Home Depots stacked atop one another. My new colleagues report that it's noticeably smaller than the big cruise ships that come in and out. It's almost as cool as when they tore the candy factory down across the street from my old job.
