Next phase of working at home: Leaving home
As part of the discussion on where people are working, right now at this very moment I'm sitting in the parking lot of a restaurant in Davis, working from my motorhome. I'm using a high-speed Internet card for my laptop (getting 3G); here's what speakeasy.net said about my current connection:
- Download Speed: 1640 kbps (205 KB/sec transfer rate)
- Upload Speed: 967 kbps (120.9 KB/sec transfer rate)
My work phone line is forwarded to my cell phone, and I was even able to video chat with a co-worker a little while ago.
Also, speaking of "co-working," check out this place:
Cubes and Crayons
This is where I think the growth in workplaces will happen; specialized work places where people, who can actually work from anywhere, but have certain specific "life needs," like child or elder care, or even are looking for a specialized work place, like one optimized for graphics design, writing, conference calls, etc.
Or where "your co-workers for today" are specially picked, like for dba's, proof-readers, communications specialists, etc.
Anyway, just random Friday thoughts... have a good weekend!
