The Tipping Point for Remote Work<\/strong>
Malcolm Gladwell didn\u2019t exactly come off like a future-looking thought leader last week when he lumped all remote workers together as\u00a0isolated loners sitting behind a desk in their pajamas<\/a>. Sounding like a cranky old boss who is pining for the \u201cgood ole days,\u201d Gladwell has apparently not noticed co-working spaces, international remote-only companies, digital nomads, remote expats, quarterly company retreats, or even conferences. A sign that we\u2019ve passed the tipping point?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gluten-free Language Cards<\/strong>
Former lawyer and digital nomad Jodi Ettenberg is celiac, which made it hard to eat safely while traveling the world. So she built\u00a0detailed translation cards<\/a>\u00a0that use local ingredient names and mention cross-contamination. They come in 13 different languages for now, along with long, free gluten-free country guides that accompany most of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where Nomads Congregate<\/strong>
One Nomadico reader asked if there\u2019s some kind of list of where nomads are working \u201cor a cities guide maybe?\u201d While it\u2019s far from perfect, there\u2019s been one out since long before the explosion in remote workers:\u00a0Nomadlist<\/a>. The data often doesn\u2019t jibe with what you\u2019ll find outside the expat bubble and the ranking algorithm of often subjective criteria seems to be as nutty as TripAdvisor\u2019s. (Warsaw is the #1 city?!) But it\u2019ll help you compare cities in terms of costs, average Wi-Fi speed, weather, and more. You can sort by a variety of categories, including \u201clack of racism.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Creative Middle Class<\/strong>
My Nomadico co-founder Kevin Kelly probably has some bones to pick with Cal Newport\u2019s\u00a0New Yorker<\/em>\u00a0article quoting his \u201c1,000 True Fans\u201d theory. But after a lot of meandering it comes around to the conclusion that remote work has enabled\u00a0the creative middle class<\/a>\u00a0to flourish in a way that few could have imagined back in the early \u201800s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
