Coworking spaces continue to grow #From 2005:
As more and more people continue to follow their joy, leave unpleasant 9 to 5 jobs, and start their own businesses, cool spaces like theOffice and Paragraph will likely grow, providing clean, quiet environments to get work done outside of the home. Kinkos and Starbucks are swell, but they pale in comparison to the atmosphere which these places seem to offer. Rather reminiscent of the wonderful Diogenes Club.Indeed, the desk sharing / coworking trend has grown apace; it is now easier than ever to find such havens thanks to sites like loosecubes ("rent a desk or a meeting room for a day, week, or month") and Desks Near Me ("helping freelancers get out of the house").

Random Kindle notes #- Instapaper is a must
- If you are using a terminal, make lynx readable by losing the black background: simply comment out the two lines below from /etc/lynx-cur/lynx.lss
normal: normal: lightgray:black
default: normal: white:black - Google Reader's mobile site defaults to opening links in a new window, which the Kindle does not support. Fix this by heading to Feeds > Settings and uncheck "Open links in a new window". (Note to Jeff: instead of Web Browser could not open this link because opening multiple windows is not supported, why not just ignore the target option and open the link in the same window?)

Batch create Kindle collections from document folders #MobileRead user "collection" created a Python script (KindleCollections.py AKA KindleForResearch.py
) to turn directories of PDFs into collections. It worked equally well for a bunch of TXT files (actually HTML files renamed due to Kindle restrictions) by simply replacing every occurrence of "pdf" with "txt" in the script.
