Small & Mighty

Last year I attended the Blog Philadelphia conference (Wondering if they are doing in again). I meet some great folks there including the always energetic Alex Hillman. Alex among others is a leader at Independents Hall. Indy Hall is a great place where independent consultants or folks with flexible working situations can got to if they need a place to work from. It's basically a Co Working space. But Indy Hall is more than just a Co Working space. It is more of a community, a brotherhood is you will. I have not gotten the chance to spent a lot of time at IndyHall for a few reasons. First, they are mainly Mac users. Just kidding. Well they are but that is not one of the reasons. I actually felt very welcome the few times I have been there. The real reasons is that I have been out of the scene for a while as I prepared for the arrival of Olivia. Also, we moved to "the burbs" and thus the drive to center city is not as easy as it used to be.

Well that is about to change a bit. Sometime in the next week or so I will stop by IndyHall to join as a member. I don't think I will be there more than a few times per month but I do plan to hang out the more. Why? cause with 3 ladies (wify and 2 daughters) in the house, the distraction levels can get a bit high sometimes. I need a place where I can escape to from time to time. Also the creative energy at Indy Hall is off the charts. I am some to rub off on me.

So here is my current plan for getting out of the house. Once a week, I will take advantage of having to go to class every Tuesdays night and work from school all day Tuesdays. On the Wednesdays when Philly .Net meets or any day I need to cover a night event at the Microsoft 's office in Malvern, I will work from the office. That happens about once every other week. Once per month or so, I will work from IndyHall. The other days I will split them between staying home and going to the local Starbucks. If anyone knows of a Co Working space in the Lower Moreland/ Willow Grove area please let me know. Even if you just have some free space at the office where you don't mind me crashing at let me know.

Since I plan to work from the MS office a few times per month, and the office has a lot of space, I wanted to make some of that space available to others and do the Co Working thing once a month or so. Drop me a email is you are interested. danilod/#/microsoft.com.
