i find being around people, though not necessarily interacting with them, can be very focusing. i wonder if it could be evolutionary - it makes sense to expend productive/creative energy while around other, who could incidentally pick up or contribute something you've created.
I'm a huge fan of this. I'm up working during that time most nights anyway, and it would be great to be able to work with other people.

Can we get one of these going around in atlanta?

Very cool. Might have to look into this should I get back into coding and people in Chicago are interested. Might be a little tougher for us married folks though.
This sounds really cool. I wonder if we could get the Epicenter café in San Francisco or some other spot to stay open late one night a week. Something critical mass-style where no organizer is necessary, just a place and a time.
I love working late, but my health suffers a massive decline with sleep deprivation. My immune system takes a beating and I invariably get sick after an all-nighter.
Any Portland, OR night owls interested in starting a group?
Any nightowls in Paris? Is anything like this organized in this city?
I found this interesting. Proof of mobile app bubble?

“I don’t code very well, and a developer working here might be able to solve a problem in 30 seconds that might take me three hours,” said Jonathan Wegener, _who creates mobile applications._

Information-rich app. Very nice marketing. It's always good to be modest.

The interesting thing is PositionApp shows it ranks in the top 300 in the Navigation category in countries outside the U.S.

Perhaps he's being modest.
