Wanted to point out that you can get a secure 10x12 private workspace with wired internet and a window for about $400 at Activspace in the Mission. It's a new building with stuff like an internal courtyard with BBQ grills. The building caters to artists but when I looked at a space it seemed like a good percentage of people did things like flash development.

Sweet!

I walked by there a few days ago on my way to Coffee Bar and saw the sign, but wasn't aware that it was that affordable.

I just contacted the people running it. Maybe I can get a tour or something. I feel like I might be too left-brain to pass their threshold though.

Sam didn't review http://hackerdojo.pbwiki.com yet! It's approximately 500 feet from the main YC offices and set to debut in a few weeks at $100/month membership -- how could anyone not turn it down?

At a guess, because it's not yet open for business?

I'm the guy Sam was referring to who was looking for a place.

One thing that's bugged me about a few of the coworking spaces here is the idea of "hot-desking." If I have to go stake out a new place to work every day and have to lug my monitor with me, I might as well go work at a Starbucks.

I don't want a private office or anything, but if you're paying for a "full time" plan (as opposed to a lesser one), you should have some claim to a desk.

Yikes, don't think any of those places looked like somewhere I'd work.
