Drupal dev here, currently working from home and excited to have found that this is so close to being set up. Is there any info yet about pricing or other details? I’m strongly considering trying out co-working.

Okay, this is great news. Every major city I’ve lived in (or been to) has had something like this–where developers, designers, engineers, and whoever else can work and bounce ideas off each other. I’ve been hoping to see (and participate in) something like it in Rochester. Are you able to disclose where the space will be? There are so many cool, old buildings around here that are ripe for this type of conversion that I’m excited to see where it’ll be.

Comment on Looking at Self Employment by Chris

For me, the biggest benefit to self employment is getting paid only for the work you do. I think our public school system and college training don’t fully prepare students for the crushing reality of the 40+ hour grind of traditional employment.

Think about it. For 12 years (16 or more if you went to college), you become accustomed to independence. Your grades are a reflection of the work you put into studying or projects, or your ability to B.S. your way through a tricky situation (also a valuable skill).

On graduation, you get thrust into an environment where your productivity isn’t really important, only that you’re spending 40+ hours in your seat.

Maybe that’s just my story, but that drove me nuts. Now, as a self-employed person I can work however much I want. If I slack off, I don’t get paid. If I work my butt off, my paycheck should reflect that.

Many of the hotel in town offer it at least in the lobby

Shared on Facebook: Monty F. said, “Reading room on the second floor of the Art Center. Best spot in town for reflecting.”

Dunn Brothers on Elton Hills Drive has wi-fi.

I also have good luck with the wi-fi at Caribou Coffee shops. The location in the subway in downtown Rochester also offers excellent people watching.
