Another great story on coworking, this one in the New York Times. This article's author Lisa Belkin, is a work from home writer who decided home wasn't always conducive to getting things done. She explored a coworking space in Connecticut which turns out to be a bit more formal than the Hat Factory (we don't care how you dress here). Lisa talks to several coworking operators including myself here at the HF.

More media coverage on this great movement we call coworking. The San Francisco Chronicle did a pretty good job describing the value, history and sense of what coworking is all about. As is mentioned in the story, the Hat Factory came into being as a coworking space shortly after Brad Neuberg and others were looking for a more permanent place to call home. Now we are one of half dozen coworking spaces in the Bay area. In case you are wondering, yes, we do have space for new coworkers here.

Thanks to Daily Candy for the mention today and welcome dear readers. Have a look around and if you see what you like, drop us an email or give a call and we'll set you up for a free day to experience the Hat Factory co-working magic.

The Hat Factory, that magical and funky co-working space in the Dogptach, is having our monthly open house on Thursday, October 25th. Drop in and experience the magic of co-working for free anytime today from 10am-7pm.

If you are a laptop worker sick of working from home alone or find your battery life goes quick at the coffee shop, you owe it to yourself to check out co-working. We offer plenty of common desk space to plop down and be productive, or not. DSL, wifi, a conference room, a kitchen, lockers, easy parking and easy public transport make the Hat Factory your ideal work space away from home.

we here at the hatfactory wanted to thank everyone who stopped by at our open house on wednesday! meeting everybody was really exciting, especially since we're hoping that folks would like to join our community of writers, videomakers, coders, consultants, and all walks of independent, creative people.

we're looking forward to seeing you more often as we hold events here at the hatfactory. in the near future, we're planning on having a screening of some of the fabulous 16mm educational films that we have in our archives. we hope that you'll be able to join us!
