[H] Console takes an exclusive behind the scenes look at the Xbox Live
Command Center with Jason Coon, Operations Program Manager for Xbox
Live.

We saw several nice cars in the parking lot, including a Porsche and
Mercedes, please tell me the Porsche was yours.
Lol, depending on the day you may even see a nice Ferrari in the
parking lot too, but sadly, none of those are mine. When I was young
and single I drove a Jaguar XJS, V12. Now I'm married (12 years this
year) and have a son, so "practical" is the key word. The blue
Honda Accord out back is mine.
How does someone reading this become part of the XBL Team?
You can always search our open positions here. In the Products section
scroll all the way to the bottom and select Xbox or Xbox Hardware and
then click Search Jobs. Generally the Xbox Live team is look for
technically savvy and passionate people. We need good thinkers, who can
really wrap their heads around difficult problems, and who have the
drive and determination to follow through and develop world class
solutions. We need people who are passionate about our product and our
service, people who can empathize with our users, and are always
thinking of ways to improve the experience. And we need people with a
good sense of humor and who like to have fun. We work very hard, and as
a result we often need to blow off steam in "unorthodoxed" ways,
such as impromptu golf tournaments in the hallways with oversized clubs
and wiffle balls, so we need people who don't get pissed when a stray
wiffle ball whizzes into their office.

We'd like to thank Jason and the entire Xbox Live team for taking the
time to show us the inner workings of the Xbox Live Operations Center.
I, for one, have a new found appreciation for the XBL team and their
tireless behind-the-scenes efforts to keep Xbox Live running like a
well oiled machine. The next time to you log on to Xbox Live, play a
game, download a demo or chat with friends using your Xbox Live Vision
camera, you'll know exactly how it all happens.
