DISQUS

Ha! How did that happen? That's hilarious man -- I think you should be happy that you don't find out about these things like I do -- clearly I spend far too much time on the intertubes!

Anyway, I totally support this idea, and is definitely in line with my earlier hopes for coworking -- leading the way to a truly global network of innovators doing cool things from wherever they want to be. It's also a necessary aspect of evolution and diversity that people come from all over and work on interesting projects... hell, the customers of tomorrow's technologies are certainly not all in the Bay Area -- why constrain the problem/opportunity space to only things that concern them?

Keep me posted on outcomes from this event. I won't be able to make this one, but I'd love to have an excuse to head back East again in the next couple months!

@Chris nothing is better for global innovation than finding new neighbors and making friends. I'm so excited to be going to places I've never been and discovering the awesome projects people are doing from them. If only they had better tools (ahem...coworking...ahem) to get their ideas out to the masses!

And don't you dare think about coming here before I show up in SF. How are we supposed to take over the world from Philly if I don't know what really makes you kids out west tick? ;-)

See you next month on the left coast!

So Alex, you coming out for the event?

@Justin,
Yeah, I guess that wasn't clear in my post: I'm totally attending SDCEast!

This is a brilliant thought-piece. Life is where you are, not in some elusive fantasy land. Alex has written about this rather lucidly recently, and it is nice to have this theme continued.

Thanks-
