Washington Post tech writer Yuki Noguchi and Leslie Walker, dropped by the XM Satellite Radio's headquarters (nicknamed The Eck) for a tour on Monday.
It's a great read of their experiences within the facility which is a century-old renovated printing press where National Geographic and Newsweek were once printed. Their personal account of the tour really illustrates the corporate environment that creates the music and programming we all listen to everyday.

Thanks to everyone who sent this in!
XM's facility is nothing short of amazing, plain and simple. I haven't yet read the Post article, but from my own experiences of having been there, it's an extremely high-tech building from the moment you walk into the lobby and see a mock-up of one of the Boeing satellites hanging from the ceiling. Now let me see what the Post says about the place... :)
I echo MikeV's comments -- I've been there many times and it is truly remarkable. My favorite place is Lee Abrams' office, which is covered in gold and platinum records and other memorabilia.
Lee Abrams is the best thing XM has going for it.
