Wikipedia says: "Co working is an emerging trend for a new pattern for working. Typically work-at-home professionals or independent contractors or people who travel frequently end up working in relative isolation. Co working is the social gathering of a group of people, who are still working independently, but who share values and who are interested in the synergy that can happen from working with talented people in the same space."
Next Tuesday, January 19th, marks the first working day for CHSCoWork, with a meeting towards the end of the session at 4pm

It was recently said to me that I was surely anti-Apple as I didn’t have an iPod, a Mac or use iTunes.
Well, although I do have some computers running Windows, I also run Linux as well on others. Oh, and I don’t have any kind of Zune either or an XBox.
It’s not that I am against these products, but that I simply don’t need them.
I’ve gone down the Windows route for nearly a quarter century. It’s been a lousy OS much of the time, only really getting better when XP came along. Even so, it’s the only Microsoft product I have that I’ve paid for. No, I haven’t pirated the rest, I simply don’t use them. I find OpenOffice to be a fine product and it does everything I need.
I do less and less local document processing these days anyway with much more being cloud based. Same goes for email. I simply can’t justify $00’s of dollars on MS Office. I don’t have the bother of sync issues either.
As for the audio players, I have a perfectly good Blackberry Curve that provides me with reasonable audio and video playback, so why spend money on and carry about another device? It also links with my bluetooth car audio system.
So no, I’m not anti-Apple,or even Microsoft I just don’t need the products.
Oh, by the way, I didn’t write this blog post on an Apple, Microsoft or Linux system. Nope. The Blackberry scored again!

First, Avery Maharaja is now in stock! They have 22oz bottles on the shelf and growlers will be available as soon as they have an open tap to put it on. This is one of the absolute best imperial IPAs out there and it is fresh as could be having just been bottled on March 4th! Grab it while you can, this never lasts long.
Second, and what you’ve all be asking about, Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout will be released this Sunday, March 15th, at opening time (Noon on Sundays) at the Charleston Beer Exchange! For those who don’t know, Kentucky Breakfast is the Bourbon barrel aged spin off of the Founders Breakfast Stout. This stuff is unbelievably limited and they are wonderfully fortunate to receive any in South Carolina at all. It is always one of the most sought after releases every year and sells out as fast as it hits shelves in the lucky few places to get it outside of the brewery. It comes in 4 packs of 12 oz bottles and purchases will be limited to help as many people as possible have a chance at getting some. They suggest not waiting on this.
Call or email anytime with questions and don’t forget you can always see what’s on the growler station live on their website at TheCharlestonBeerExchange.com just click “On Tap”. Also, if you twitter, follow us there at name “BeerExchange”.
