Get to work
Author: will | Filed under: open coffee, resource, social change, social network, technology, videoWould you call around to someone’s house and work there? Think of it as a book club for mobile workers. That Mulley Man brought up something interesting in his Fluffy Links (TM or it should be by now), namely Jelly.
Jelly is casual co-working. The site arranges invitations for people to work from a member’s home for the day. The organisers provide chairs and sofas, wireless internet, and interesting people to talk to, collaborate with, and bounce ideas off of. All the benefits of co-working with fewer facilities? Well it would be nice, but I’m trying not to imagine an open coffee session at someone’s house. But I like the idea.
As for the video below, well I thought about work and recently came across Freemasons Remix of “Work” by Kelly Rowland. Well it fits the subject, but I don’t think I could use a laptop where the video was shot; I’d be dancing. And I’m a bad dancer.
take care,
Will

Women have been doing this for years. They called the sewing or knitting Bees! No wirless internet needed!

Would that be a “stitch and bitch” session?

Well….. they might have done a little of that while the worked!
Are you saying it won’t happen with Jelly!
What a name! It conjures up some funny pictures.

“think you’re ready for this jelly” – lyrics from a song
I really hope that this isn’t where the name came from. If so then it’s a different kind of laptop
