Kmart's Future as a Data Center
May 24, 2013
Review: Mattel Masters of the Universe Classics Ram Man

Figure of the DayMattel Masters of the Universe Classics Ram ManSomething new every day-- unless it's old! Our exciting Figure of the Day continues for you lucky people! Is there anything we won't cover in this column? Probably not!

Grown so ugly! The Mattel Masters of the Universe Classics Ram Man may be the most important figure of the year given his rich history and general beloved-by-fan-ness. He's also quite ugly, but perfectly so. It's worth tracking down and a crying shame Mattel couldn't make a bigger run, so says eBay to the tune of $60-$70. So read on and come back tomorrow for more!

Old Kmart, Sears to Become Data Centers

ToysKmart

While not explicitly Star Wars, I think some of you who do toy runs may find this of interest.   If you live in a medium or large town, you might have one or more empty shells which were formerly a Kmart or a Sears nearby.  According to DataCenterKnowledge.com, these buildings may be converted not to another big box store but to a data center.

From TFA:

"With the creation of Ubiquity Critical Environments, Sears hopes to convert the retail icons of the 20th century into the Internet infrastructure to power the 21st century digital economy. Sears Holdings has one of the largest real estate portfolios in the country, with 3,200 properties spanning 25 million square feet of space. That includes dozens of Sears and Kmart stores that have been closed over the years."

Who knew? What a clever idea.  Read more here.
