Starbucks to Offer Free Wi-Fi

Free Wi-Fi With AT&T

"Last month, AT&T announced plans to make its 10,000 Wi-Fi hotspots free to nearly all of its broadband Internet customers. The move expanded access to include subscribers who have a lower tier of high-speed Internet service, increasing to 12 million the number of broadband customers who can use the hotspots free of charge. Previously, only subscribers to AT&T's premium broadband service had free access.

Monday's announcement boosts the number of AT&T hotspots in the U.S. to 17,000 -- the most in the nation."

Nice. Now I need an iPhone or a laptop.

Run to this

Podrunner: Intervals
DJ Steve Boynett (I'm not jacking any names this time) is at it again with Podrunner:Intervals.

Varied-BPM workout music mixes for runners,
joggers, and power walkers at all levels.

I've wanted him to put something out like this for some time. I'm a huge fan of the Podrunner podcast. I haven't tried it yet, but I'll get a chance in the next week when I'm running on the beach in Hawaii and all of you are working. Oh, Naps! Update to follow...

Cigarettes Offer Super-Size Nicotine
Now you can make the same bad choices for a shorter amount of time. It's like killing someone but just a little bit.

"Philip Morris are ready to accommodate those looking to expedite the process stepping outside. They've packed the same amount of nicotine goodness into a smaller package"

Australian girl changes blood group, immune system

"Brennan's body changed blood group from O negative to O positive when she became ill while on drugs to avoid rejection of the organ by her body's immune system.

Her new liver's blood stem cells then invaded her body's bone marrow to take over her entire immune system, meaning the teen no longer needs anti-rejection drugs."

They're calling this a "one-in-six-billion miracle." That sounds like one person on earth. I don't know when doctors became statistician, but if they can figure out how this happened, rich people everywhere will be able to live longer, 2.0 lives.

I'm sure if you can watch the movie without almost vomiting it would be a pretty fun time, but count me out for the DVD.

Buying a Car (we are...someday soon)

Here are some site that will help you make your decision.

All I want for Xmas

KORG KAOSSILATOR

He snappily titled Kaossillator is the latest in Korg's range of Kaoss Pad-based products. The palm-sized unit is described by Korg as a 'dynamic phrase synthesizer', and is designed for "untrained musical enthusiasts", DJs and performers.
On-board the yellow-bodied Kaossillator are 100 synth programs, derived from Korg's Modelling Synthesizer Engine, as well as Kaoss Pad-derived effects. Patches include a swathe of what Korg call "classic" synth sounds, plus "faithfully simulated" piano, guitar and trumpet sounds, and one-shot drums.

A gate arpeggiator with 50 different patterns can also be called upon to create rhythmic sounds, at user-specified tempos, and pitched patches can be set to play in 31 different scales in any key. The Kaossillator also has a loop recording mode, with which the user can build up a two-bar loop, using the unit's variety of sound sources.

My kinda touring

Honda EVO 6 Concept:

"Take a flat-Six 1800cc Gold Wing motor, put it in a minimalist chassis and give it slick, modern styling—think manga by Morbidelli. There’s a single-sided swingarm and the usual electronic instrumentation... Honda uses its all-new 'Human-Friendly Transmission' or HFT. This may be a jump in transmission technology, using hydraulic pressure to efficiently transmit power. It offers a 'D' position for everyday riding (Driving?), an 'S' position (Sport?) for quicker acceleration and a six-speed manual mode, as well."

Car Buying No No's

: We're going to be in the market in the the next year and I hate dealing with car buying. So, here's what not to say. Maybe we should hold off, because at these gas prices we should be getting a golf cart.

The Solution

Swobo Bikes
I wanted to get a road bike, but this might be the closest I can handle.

"The Sanchez is a $599 fixed-gear track bike outfitted with flat bars for the street and the no-brakes, no-coasting fixie groove, but it comes with a "flip-flop" freewheel-compatible hub and a fork drilled to take a front brake."

I'll puss out and get a front brake, because I'm not a hipster bike messenger. And the clincher is that there's a bottle opener in the seat. Here's a review in the Marin Independent.
