Firecat CEO Susan Price is headed to Austin Saturday, Feb. 22 to attend TEDxAustin at the KLRU studios. If you see her there, please introduce yourself. As one of the organizers of TEDxSan Antonio, Susan is keen to develop TED community in Central Texas. She and the other event organizers are fanatic about the value of TED.com's Ideas Worth Sharing and looking forward to gathering ideas for the Alamo City's TEDx event.

TEDxAustin Live Stream

The TEDxAustin event will be live streamed here starting at 10am tomorrow: . The parent TED organization will vet the video to see which (if any) they'll post on TED.com for the larger community. The event runs all day, so if you miss the start, no worries - check in when you have time. Interestingly, attendees don't yet know who the actual speakers will be. The TEDxAustin organizers are a playful bunch, in line with their theme, Play Big.

They, the Disaffected

Firecat First Friday Coworking July: Summer Playtime and UI Research
PDF Print E-mail
Yes, it's July, and time for Firecat Studio's First Friday open Coworking session. With record-scorching temperatures, we're planning a gaming session from 10:30 am - 2:30 pm, cranking up the stereo and projector and Guitar Hero. That's a shorter time frame than we usually have, but hey, it's summer. This month, you're welcome to bring kids. They know all about the games, and they're out of school, so bring them on.

When and Where?

  • Friday, July 3, 10:30 am - 2:30 pm. (Note: Shorter coworking day than usual due to holiday weekend and frivolous nature of the day!)
  • Firecat Studio, 918 Nolan #104, San Antonio, TX 78202 MAP & INFO

The Fun Continues at C4 Workspace

Because we're doing a shorter coworking session this month, C4 Workspace is offering FREE coworking to Firecat Coworkers after we close up. So take advantage of this opportunity to see the newly built out C4 Workspace in the fabulous King William District.

Fun and Games?

Well experimenting with Smart Phones and Wiis and Wii Fits and PlayStations and such really does help user experience designers keep up and get inside the trends of our industry. We really do learn from interacting with newer user interface technologies -- especially when the smart designers and engineers who come to coworking are in the mix. We'll provide our usual light sandwich fare, but feel free to bring something of your own. See you this Friday!

Coworking, what the heck is it anyway?

See the Coworking FAQs. People come together to work someplace other than their usual home office, or from a hotel room, or a coffeeshop -- with somebody other than project team, corporate cubemates or the dog or cat in your home office. Several of us think Coworking is the Workplace of the Future - especially for professionals and knowledge workers who can work from anywhere.

Check the San Antonio page of the Coworking wiki to find out more about this exciting evolution of the workplace.
