My online collaborators Mushon-Zer Aviv and Jonah Bossewitch and I are leading off a day of workshops on online collaboration. I love that Jonah and I will be meeting in person for the first time, and that Mushon will be joining us via Skype. How online-collaborative is that!

Very cool! I can’t wait to read about the outcome of the workshop.
It’s great that you’re using Skype too. I’m a freelance designer and I get around exclusively by bike. When a client asks me to travel to a location that’s not bikeable, I usually propose video conference instead. Hi-YA! Whu-psh!! (those are karate chop sound effect of triumph)
