Working in a café
I’m sitting here in a café, wirelessly online, a sketch of a website design laid out before me, drinking a mocha coffee and eating a cookie. I think I want to do this every day.
Currently listening to Radiohead – No Surprises

I wonder who that could be…? :)
Maybe if I added that in the time spent in the café I worked far quicker than when I wasn’t? I think that was partly my point. A relaxed environment helps me to concentrate.

Matthew wins! I just wrote my first AppleScript to help me code quicker.

You can’t be a real web designer until you start drinking black coffee. Hell, you can’t be a real person unless you start drinking black coffee. Hell, you can’t exist in this dimension unless you start drinking black coffee. If you look at the original Greek John 1:1 says “in the beginning was the word and the word drank black coffee”.*

Do cafés not mind you doing that? I’d love to do that, instead of sitting at home. ^_^

I bought something, so I don’t see why there’s a problem if there’s no demand for the seat/table (which there wasn’t). And if there is I guess you can always buy a cookie or something. Also I sometimes try to draw out the coffee for as long as possible.
I guess it depends on the café though.

Apparently Starbucks actively encourage it, they want you to think of their coffee shop as a third place between home and work.

I have yet to decide on whether to re-evaluate my Starbucks boycott since discovering two things:

Yeah, I’m in two minds about Starbucks… They treat their employees really well, over in Canada they even pay part of the tuition fees of their part-time workers who are at university.
