Betahouse -- coworking environment

I'm working for Participatory Culture Foundation (w00t!) and they're based in Worcestor, MA, so I've been telecommuting. A friend of mine helped start a co-working place a few months back and a couple of weeks ago I joined as a part-time renter. Long story short, they wrote about us in the Boston Globe. The article is a little funny in that it makes it sound like some big fancy thing, but really it's a couple of rooms with desks where a bunch of people work. I wasn't there when Carolyn came in and interviewed people--I was on my way to Oregon for a family reunion.

At Betahouse, I've been sitting at a desk in what I've decided to dub the Python room. It's myself, Nate Aune and another person whose name escapes me who also works for Jazkarta.

It's been exciting and they have a much faster internet connection than I do at home. Can't beat that.

Cool.  I'm telecommuting also, and I miss the lack of coworkers.  Sounds like you've got a bit of the best of both worlds.  Maybe I'll have to start a local "betahouse"; I don't think that there is anything like that around here.

Please keep comments appropriate. I reserve the right to remove anonymous comments, flames, spammy, inappropriate, and other comments that I deem to be worth removing.

Note: New comments get placed in a "draft" status and will NOT show up on the site until I explicitly approve it. Usually that happens within 24 hours, but sometimes I go away and it takes a day or two.

Note 2: There is now a preview button for those of you who want to see a preview! However, it doesn't quite work the way you'd think it should work. I'll look into adjusting it some day.

Note 3: If you can't for some reason post a comment, send me an email: willg at bluesock dot org.
