Links of the Week

Yay for Friday afternoons! It’s always been my favorite time of the work week because whether or not things are done, people start wrapping things up in neat little bows and a sense of relief starts to wash over me.

As I write this, the mood at Office Nomads (normally a light one) is starting to lift. Erik and I just exchanged words over who should replace the beer he drank from the fridge (which he bought in the first place). I bowed out when I realized I could just knock back some whiskey while I put this post together instead. Ah life in an office without HR, rules!

• I stumbled upon Luck of Seven a bit late as the project is coming to an end, but thanks to the wonders of the internets, I can catch up on the adventures of this “open-source journey documenting free culture, social innovators and global change.”
• I don’t play Second Life, but this came through on my “co-working” Google Alert and I think it means that coworking is going to take place in Second Life. Weird.
• This has nothing to do with anything but it’s cool nonetheless: ImprovEverywhere froze life in the busiest train station in the world for five minutes. Completely cool!
• Not to belabor a point, but being alone affects
  you.(via)
• Failure Now an Option.

Have a great weekend!

Links of the Week

Welcome to Office Nomads’ first Links of the Week post. We’ll plan on putting these up on Fridays. They’ll include a collection of links from around the Web (where else would they come from?) that we found interesting but didn’t write a full post about or other items we feel you should notice.

• From Mbites comes a post on coworking flash-mob style. We love the concept because it brings folks to work together in a communal setting but gives it a catch-as-catch-can quality that appeals to our wild side. Anyone who wants to try and flash-mob a work day here at ON is more than welcome!
• That CNNMoney article continues to bring us some wonderful attention. This time from the Small Biz Resources Blog where Gayle Kesten notes that while freelancers are happy to see the kids back in school after the holidays because of the silence it brings to home offices, that silence quickly becomes deafening. Coworking to the rescue!
• Jacob decided that along with starting the coolest coworking space in Seattle, he’d try and earn some life points for doing it too. Go vote for him at RealityAllStarz.com. Let us know in the comments if you’ve got a project you want points for too.
• Blog pimpin’. It’s gotta be done or no one is ever going to know about the joy of Office Nomads’ blog. So we added the blog to Technorati. You should go there and give us a little boost. We’ll throw a vote right back at ya if you ask us to.
• Finally this week, we found a great list of useful web apps over on Lifehacker we decided to share. Hopefully something on this list will make your days go a bit more smoothly.

That’s it for this week. Hope you had a great and productive week. Enjoy the weekend!
