From Coffee Shops to Coworking in Old Town Fort Collins
Friday, August 12th, 2011
Before I became a freelancer, I used to fantasize about what it would be like to be the master of my own professional domain. No unreasonable boss limiting my creativity, never being forced to support something I didn’t believe in, and no need to leave the house to work- ever.

How Cohere saved my sanity
Wednesday, August 4th, 2010
I had deadlines, meetings and massive amounts of emails to return. I had marketing plans, budgets, and explosive growth to manage. It was the most fun I’d had in my entire life, even though I often felt like I was just trying to keep my head above water. Maintaining the balance between mom and professional blogger was challenging.
That’s where Cohere came in…

Who’s in YOUR Petri Dish?
Thursday, May 20th, 2010
I recently sat in on a presentation by Joan King, a Ph.D in Neurosciences and Psychology, who also served as the Chair of the Department of Anatomy and Cellular Biology for the Tufts University School of Medicine. Her talk was short, but left an impact. She focused on the neurology of connection, explaining the basic function of cells and how they work independently and as a unit.
She pointed out that when cells are separated in a Petri dish, they immediately start searching for other cells to connect with and form a bond. If unable to find a connection, they die.

Area man discovers freelancing not what he expected
Monday, May 17th, 2010
When I started “freelancing,” I had a lot of expectations as to what my life would be like setting my own schedule, picking my own projects, etc. My life would be ultra-flexible and I would be spending my time doing something I loved, coding. I wouldn’t have anyone to answer to but myself, and that would be the ideal work environment.
It turned out that while there are many benefits to freelancing, for me, the flexibility and lack of direct accountability were not so high on the list.
Working from home, I could pace for hours before starting a project. Most of my days and nights consisted of over-planning, procrastinating, and then a 10-12 hour block of anxious, frenzied coding, and I was exhausted. My work life had lost its boundaries.

New Education for New Workers
Sunday, May 9th, 2010
I don’t have a Computer Science degree. In fact, I don’t have any degree. I tried going to college. It didn’t work. Either I already knew it, or I wasn’t interested in learning it. Somehow, with that lack of education, I still… Read More

Your Job is to CARE About People and Who Doesn’t Want to be Cared About?
Monday, April 19th, 2010
I long for the bygone days of knowing my farmer, my baker and my candlestick maker and their children, spouses, cousins and their debt to income ratios as well as who was dating who every Saturday night. How can I get a little slice of this hometown nostalgia in a world where it is cheaper to make and ship bowling balls over here from China?

Cohere, Branding and Brand
Wednesday, April 14th, 2010
…most of the action at Cohere takes place in an open office where you’re surrounded by all kinds of cool people working on their own stuff. You can feed off of the group energy and be super productive, sample from what’s going on around you and learn something, or participate in the free wheeling, mostly business oriented, discussions.
