What is Jelly?

Jelly is casual coworking. We invite people to work from our home for the day. We provide chairs and sofas, wireless internet, and interesting people to talk to, collaborate with, and bounce ideas off of.

You bring a laptop (or whatever you need to get work done) and a friendly disposition.

Why do you do this?

Jelly started in NYC in February of 2006 when roommates Amit and Luke realized that they loved working from home, but they missed the creative brainstorming, sharing, and camaraderie of a traditional office. (Office politics, not so much.)

So they started inviting friends to come work from their home one day a week. They soon found that working in close proximity to new and interesting people every couple weeks resulted in new ideas and interesting conversations.

Emboldened by their early success, they made it a more regular thing. Jelly was born.

Who can come to Jelly?

Anyone!

We see a lot of designers, developers, and internet types, but we’ve also had musicians, cooks, sound designers, tea sommeliers, product designers, photographers, writers, and more.

Some of us are entrepreneurs or freelancers. Others work in an office most of the time, but work at Jelly for fresh ideas and a change of pace.

No matter what you do or what you create, you’re welcome to come to Jelly and share your talent and learn from others.

Very, very cool.

The idea has been tried many a times, a web based comic that’s free to read. Some have been fanciful Flash based numbers, others semi interactive. It seems though that many after some time run out of puff, we guess because the real world incentive of needing to account for one’s time doesn’t happen when it’s free or being an ‘on the side thing’, never really gains enough momentum to make switching it to a commercial enterprise a reality. Then there is the whole hesitance by the consuming public to part with cash for online content.

FreakAngles, is a UK produced online comic, presented in a trad page format with no bells and whistles. While it seems the episodes are short, it might be just enough to keep the interest growing while not being a huge on going task for those producing it.

Worth checking out as it’s quite nice to look at.

“Censorship is Weak as F##k” is a skateboard art exhibition featuring the work of world renowned artists Marc McKee and Sean Cliver. The art show was inspired by the documentary feature film “The Man Who Souled the World”, a portrait of skateboarding¹s most hated and loved character, Steve Rocco.

The art show will feature over 50 rare pieces of valuable skate art and tour with Marc McKee and Sean Cliver across Australia from February 21 to March 9 2008. The Australian leg of the tour follows successful exhibitions in the USA, Canada, Europe and Japan.

“Censorship is Weak as F##k” is timed in conjunction with the DVD release of “The Man Who Souled the World”.

The success of a product can be measured by how cool it becomes. The cooler it becomes, the more people must have it and the more people that have it, the less col it becomes… until something comes along to make your’s that little bit cooler than everyone else’s.

Part with your cash to attain some of Apple’s coolness and then part with more to make sure that you are cooler then the person next to you.

What a wonderful web of one upsmanship (is that a word?) is being woven in the world of consumer products.

Does that come with flames?
