Well guys, we are drawing near.
Tony, Todd and I have been hard at work on our ‘coworking book’ for many months now, and we are close indeed. The book has evolved into being about more than coworking. What we have encountered in our journey into coworking is a glimpse into the Future Of Work.
Coworking is, indeed, a key ingredient […]

Regarding nomadism:
There’s no doubt in my mind that we’re on the front end of a powerful trend; a trend that will only intensify as the current economic situation forces employers to look for ways to save money, and as workers look for ways to spend less time commuting and less money on gas.

I’ve been reading Dell’s Digital Nomads site and the reactions (for/against) to it. I’ll be interested to see whether or not this catalyzes interest in telecommuting, coworking, nomadism, etc. at the corporate level, whether this develops into any kind of meaningful community place for digital nomads, or whether it evolves into a transparent marketing tool […]
Over the past several months Bandit and I have written extensively about coworking and what it reflects in the larger economy. Theoretically we are writing a book about it, but that is proving to be rather slow going. Our interest in the topic/movement, though, is not waning.
I wake up this morning, once again, with design […]
Face it, some books are better than others. I know, because I recently published a book that is making no spash whatsoever. This is a case of, I now suspect, an average book.
For reference to a great! book, look no further than Bill McKibben’s latest, Deep Economy: The Wealth of Communities and the Durable Future. […]
A few weeks back I wrote up a piece exploring the question: To what extent can/should coworking be conceptualized and managed as a business? My view- that the business-ization of coworking is an inevitability and the sooner we recognize this the more sustainable the movement part of coworking will be- proved to be rather controversial.
Apparently, […]
Somewhere, deep inside, I knew there was a reason why I loathed most meetings. Now I know why. The more meetings, the less trust.
I’m in a prognosticating mood. Here’s my take on the evolution and future direction of the Internet, Internet technology and applications, business opportunities, and skills.
Pre-Wave had very little commercial activity. UUNET is one of the few examples that comes to mind..

Hackers/hobbyists build applications
Significant technical talent required. Massive capitalization required.

Tony’s pictures from RockCamp sent me down a peculiar line of thought.
My generation, Gen-X is the first generation to grow up on rock ‘n roll. We are also the first generation to maintain our attachment to rock music well into adult life. To this day, my heroes are musicians.
I may be an extreme […]
