In a recent twittering, Jason Hummel suggests we move the Electric Pulp offices to the world’s deepest underground lab.
The article he links to explains the abandoned mine (also located in South Dakota) is ideal for experiments because it’s “shielded from cosmic rays” and will soon be used by scientists trying to prove the existence of dark matter.
Jason thinks it might be a cool place to build web things as well.
I’ll admit the prospect of setting up shop next to such an experiment in such a place has a certain allure. I mean, there has to be a greater than average chance the science will just go wrong resulting in superhuman mutation of nearby scientists and web developers alike.
But I’m not so sure the allure outweighs the very real possibility of being eaten by giant, subterranean creatures. Not to mention, it has to be a little unsettling coding so near the denizens of hell.
That, and I don’t imagine iPhones would ever work down there.
So, in short, I don’t think we’ll be moving. But thanks again for the suggestion, Jason. We’ll get you some kind of finder’s fee if a future suggestion pans out.

I have just the place. Sunny CA. Pls send finders fee to me in Sunny, CA.
So…just to be clear…you guys are officially NOT taking the space? Because if that’s the case, I’m calling dibs on behalf of Deep Bench. We’d just tame those worms from Tremors and we could certainly put the superhuman mutations to good use. Thanks Aaron (and Jason) for alerting us to this possibility. Obviously, Aaron, you EP folks have an open invitation to come visit us at the Earth’s core whenever you please. Wear shorts. It’ll be warm.
We are NOT moving to Lead. Sunny CA is still up in the air.
