Congratulations to Austin’s new coworking space, Conjuctured.  This news clip explains the concept quite well.  

Last week Susan and I went to BizJam Seattle 2008 and I have to say it was impressive.  We held down the fort at the Office Nomads Networking Lounge for both days of the conference and the people we spoke with were inspiring.  The energy was flying and the connections were priceless.

There were a lot of great workshops and even though we only saw a couple we got to enjoy all the conversations people were having afterwards.  We just sat on our pretty couches and took it all in.  Biznik is an amazing resource for the indie business crowd and we are lucky to have them in our back yard.

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.
