“Co-working spaces thrive”

broofa — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 12:52:42 +0000

“Co-Work Spaces Thrive” talks about the SF co-working scene, although the company they highlight, i/o ventures, is more an incubator than a co-work space (to my mind anyway):

After receiving 300 applications, they accepted their first five startups. The incubator will also rent spaces and have a café, a company representative said.

Regardless, i’s always fun learning about new projects like this. Every one takes a different approach and I nearly always find them humbling reads. TechSpaceBend is still one of the smallest undertakings I’ve seen. But we’ve got a great vibe going and it’s a ton of fun (still!) I’m also very proud of our model – completely non-profit, and still the most affordable by a long shot. Our $150/month price point for desks is typically 1/2 to 1/3rd what is being charged elsewhere.

TechSpace Bend First Friday Art Hop with Katie O’Neil

TechSpace Bend is hosting their second Art Hop this Friday. Come on down – come all. We will have Paulina Plunge Pale Ale on tap (Bend Brewing Company), pretzels, and a few other things.

About the Artist

Katie O’Neil grew up in Corbett, Oregon, a small town that rests in the scenic Columbia River Gorge. Though beautiful, the gorge is a treacherous alley for wind and, in many ways, she’s never felt able to paint these gorge scenes of her childhood—it’s as if she’s too familiar, and thus, biased. So, Katie travels in order to find those common scenes and emote the senses that stem from the people within them: “Communicating from an outsider’s perspective feels much more pure to my artistic hand.”

Katie has painted for almost a decade, moving away from acrylic media to watercolor: “With watercolor I am able to work more instinctively with color and composition. So much of my inspiration is found in people. I aim to communicate about the way people live and how they interact with their environments.” Her style is marked by a blend of impressionist techniques with contemporary subjects and sharp color.

TechSpace Bend – Article in The Bulletin

lhowell — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 12:22:19 +0000

The Bulletin wrote a nice article on our space:

“Freelance computer programmers, telecommuters and remote workers tired of using the kitchen table for desk space have a new resource when it comes to meeting deadlines.

Central Oregon’s Tech Alliance, in partnership with other groups, has launched a new office space in downtown Bend geared toward untethered technology workers, with the hope they socialize and spawn new business ventures.”
