Chris Brogan Works at Coffee Shops....I Work at Apple Stores

I got this idea from a post by Chris Brogan, who talks about why and how he works at coffee shops. When I am in town, I generally work at my office and at home.

When I travel, I like to work at Apple Stores.

Right now, it's Saturday and I am in Dallas seeing my girlfriend and my family who also lives here.  (I live in San Antonio). 

My girlfriend has wireless at the house.   I also have a client here in town and after our meetings, I can hang out and use a private office if I wish.

But today is Saturday. 

My girlfiend is doing some family stuff and I am doing this post from the Apple Store at NorthPark. 

They are always very nice an accomodating and don't mind if I just grab a stool, get on the network and spend an hour or so cranking out a few things that I am working on.  I will go for a walk in the mall, see what's new (NorthPark, in my opinion is the best mall in the U.S. - even better than Tyson's Corner in Northern Va.).

Sometimes I just save up questions on small stuff I am still trying to learn or get better at on my MacBoook Pro, so I sort of kill two birds with one stone.

So Chris, yes, I love coffee shops and coffee, but when you travel and need a place to chill, try an Apple store.  Oh- and the background music is not too loud and much better than the stuff they play at Starbucks.

My Life. My Working Life. It's in Real Time on Twitter

I am just now starting to get it with regard to Twitter. Jeff invited me, and I've been watching Chris' Twitter to get an idea of how to apply and benefit from it.

Here's my profile.

You can also what some of my initial friends are up to.  I am going to reserve further comments on its potential applications for social and business networking and working with my teams around the world until I use is some more.
