Don’t worry. We don’t mean to imply that you should work without pay. No, what the message we’re trying to get across with that headline is that Monday, July 7 is Free Drop-in Day at Office Nomads. It’s something new we’re doing so you can experience the joy of coworking for yourself.

So if you’ve been meaning to come and check out Office Nomads and to find out if coworking will work for you, July 7 is is your chance to try it out, no-strings attached. As an added bonus, that’s also the first Monday of the month which means it’s also our monthly Game Night so at the end of the day, you can hang out, drink beers (or whatever) and enjoy any of a number of fun, unique games (no Monopoly here).

Of course, your first day of working at Office Nomads is always free, so if you can’t make July 7 and you’ve been meaning to check it out, don’t let your budget stop you from experimenting. But even if you’ve been in before, working on July 7 is gonna be free.

As always, Office Nomads will be open for drop-ins from 8:30 am until 6 p.m. on Monday July 7 for free. And as always, we’ll offer free high-speed Internet access, free prints and faxes and free coffee, tea and water. Any questions, please let us know.

That’s right, it’s true. Seattle is one of the 12 most innovative cities in the world according to FastCompany.com. The reasons they give include $1 billion (!) in VC funds a year, Google’s new Fremont campus attracting a new group of tech startups to the city and the new Olympic Sculpture Park. Somehow they missed the fact that Seattle is also turning into a nexus for co-workers thanks to the efforts of Office Nomads, Start Pad and Giraffe Labs. Weird.

This video might not be related to innovation, but I thought it was worth sharing. Heck! It is innovative. in what corporate office could you see anything nearly as cool as this? This is what makes co-working the wave of the future.

Big news this week folks! Office Nomads welcomed our tenth monthly member! As the kids say, “W00t!”

We’ve been planning to profile each of our monthly members for some time now, but you know how things can get put off? Right, well since signing up the 10th member is big enough news for posting, we decided to start doing it here and now. Why, we thought, should we start with the first one? He gets all the press.

So please welcome Henrik to the Office Nomads world. He’s a software product manager for Pace Systems Group and an all around cool guy. I think he’s going to fit right in. The first thing he did when he signed up was to choose his desk which ended up being right next to mine. While we were talking on his first day, it took less than five minutes for him to tell me how he’ll probably like hearing me be on the phone all the time because he’s been stuck at home and isolated for so long.

A true Office Nomad.

As you can see, Henrik comes complete with a dog. Her name is Stella and she’s a sweet as can be (she also gets along famously with Cortez the Killer). He’s got a wife who stopped by the other day to give her approval of the new space (she liked it). Right now, he’s trying to get back into soccer-playing shape. (Ask him how his legs are feeling two days after his first game in a long time.)

Welcome Henrik (and Stella), to the Office Nomads fold!
