What does it say about the direction your career is going when you realise you needn't actually get out of bed? Is it a good thing or a bad thing? Is it a sign that you've 'made it'? I don't know. I've been working in bed on my Mac since about 7am. Now, in the early afternoon, I'm thinking of getting up (it is a weekend) but it struck me that I don't actually have to. I could work all week in bed and I'd probably be just as productive - maybe more so with fewer distractions.
There must be many people like me. We don't exactly work alone - we are in frequent contact with colleagues - but it's a rare treat to actually see people in the flesh. Google Wave will make it even easier to work like this and will probably increase our ranks. Seeing people from time to time is a vital part of the process, but it also sort of gets in the way. (On this topic, see Paul Graham's really nice explanation of the difference between "makers' schedules" and "managers' schedules": http://bit.ly/13Uw3E).
Some people live entirely mediated lives, and love it. These people could aspire to a bedroom career. Other people have the quality that wherever you look for them, you'll always find them in their own head. They are never 100% 'present' anywhere, but are most present 'nowhere' - with their own thoughts. These people also could aspire to a bedroom career. I'm a bit of the latter type myself, but I need a direct, unmediated connection to the world every now and then. So! I'd better get up.
