workspace at 7am - by kris krugI have been meaning to write this post for weeks. So here it is... my post devoted to my love for WorkSpace. Read on and I'll tell you all about it!

WorkSpace opened up about three months ago now. (Where has the time gone?!) Things have just gotten better by the day around here! Thanks to the hard work of Bill, Dane and Kristin (and we miss you, Eric), this place has totally taken off and become a total community hub in Vancouver's Gastown.

Top Ten (plus one) Reasons to Love WorkSpace

  1. Home offices are lonely and boring and usually have no view – unlike WorkSpace.
  2. The coffee is amazing – and I hear you can even get mochas now, if you want. Sometimes I even pretend I'm a Starbucks customer and order a "half-caf, 2%, extra-hot latte". You can too!
  3. They will be getting all their supplies from FrogFile soon, meaning that all the paper and the bathroom stuff and the cleaning supplies will be eco-friendly. This right here makes me want to weep tears of gratitude. Way to set an example, guys!
  4. There's a bike storage locker down the hall.
  5. They keep self-serve, self-pay snacks in the kitchen, I just discovered a few days ago!
  6. PHOTOBOOTH!
  7. If other people have their iTunes shared, you can listen to all this new music while you work!
  8. Six Acres is around the corner and their food is awesome, I discovered yesterday. (Maybe one of the web services members wants to trade them a website for some meals?)
  9. They'll be your mail service, if you want! They'll even book your travel!
  10. Bill and Dane and Kristin are all awesome. Two of the three of them are even growing moustaches for Movember. Don't miss it!
  11. And finally... naturally... cuz it's the home of Yoga for Geeks! What are you waiting for? Non-member drop-ins are always welcome. Come on down!

About this Site

A hodge-podge of random thoughts, musings, and links – sometimes about social change, sometimes about technology and the web, sometimes about yoga, and occasionally about knitting. Sometimes (because I'm a Canadian girl with deep roots in the British Isles) I even write about the weather.

I'm a yoga teacher, founder of Yoga for Geeks, and a freelance web writer, strategist, and project manager. I also help to co-create the amazing Web of Change Conference, every September in beautiful British Columbia.
