This is my home from home when I'm working on projects or need to escape the cube farm. Gangplank is a great resource for local techies and creative types. I love the open, collaborative environment and the fact that they actually thought about what people and companies need when they are trying to be productive and get things done.
First: It may seem trivial, but the plain, large IKEA tables with power outlets cable-tied to the legs are a real boon! The first thing I do when about to work on my Mac is look for the juice.
Next: The podcast studio is a real asset. They modestly claim that it's not as good as they'd like, but stick your head in the door and you'll be blown away.
Next-to-Last: Everyone there is fun and welcoming. There's no such thing as a dumb question. Someone is always on hand to chat or bounce around ideas or joke with.
Lastly: What's not to like about a place with a pool table, a dart board, and a comfy couch?
Hacknights are the place to be on a Wednesday evening if you have a project to work on or you feel like hanging out with some mighty cool peeps and tweeps. :)
