Introducing Jelly - a semi-weekly work-together
Published by amit March 14th, 2006 in General.
Last Thursday marked the inaugural session of Jelly, a new semi-weekly work gathering Amit and Luke will be hosting at House 2.0.
Here’s the deal: Luke and Amit both love working from home, but they find that spending the occasional day working with others really helps get the creative juices flowing. Even though everyone’s working on their own projects, they can bounce ideas and problems off of each other and have fun doing it.
What’s Jelly? Jelly’s our attempt to formalize this weekly work-together. We invite you to come work at our home. You bring your laptop and some work, and we’ll provide wifi, a chair, and hopefully some smart people.
While you’re here, you can discuss and work with others, or move somewhere where you can work solo without distraction. It’s up to you. The goal is to give you a good, productive workday.
Our friends Ian and Jakob have already been over a bunch of times, and last week we tried a larger gathering with Ian (working on Notonomy before he left for his Gawker dayjob), Joshua Keay (worked on a really cool new OS X Dashboard widget), Amit (worked on Notonomy), Luke (worked on Joyent), Kellan (worked on Odeo), and Gil (worked on Squidoo). It was a blast.
We’ll be getting together most Thursdays, including this Thursday, March 16th. We start at 9:30ish (you can show up later) and run till whenever.
It doesn’t matter who you work for or what you do, if you think you’d benefit from working with a few other smart, friendly, creative people, email us and come to the next Jelly!
UPDATE: Jelly’s now a more regular thing, occurring 2-3 times a month in Manhattan and Brooklyn, and in cities all over the world! Visit workatjelly.com for more info!

I don’t know…it sounds an awful lot like Tuesday Salon, except with computers instead of alcohol, and work discussions instead of four-square trash talking.
Oh, wait, that isn’t like TS at all. Rock on!
Hi, I am the CEO of AMarriage Entertainment, I think this is an awesome ideal. Being able to network in a physical social networking environment with the ability to bounce ideals and suggestions off of brilliant minds that have the same goals as yourself can only make for up and coming fortune 500 and more companies to emerge faster. With that being said, what is going on with the Philly Chapter? Is it possible to begin another chapter in the ATL area? We will be relocating our company to Atlanta shortly.
I am interested in co-working in Houston. It would be a great way to network and just change things up. When and where will there be one in Houston?
Love it, hope to see some in canada starting up
