Coffee Smarts

Talk about perfect timing!

Thanks to the good folks over at Consumer Reports, we can all be frugal without sacrificing taste and save 5.25 per pound on 100% Colombian Coffee!

Consumer Reports coffee experts taste tested 19 ground coffees and deemed the $6.28 per pound Eight O'Clock Coffee 100 Percent Colombian a complex blend of earthy and fruity coffee, with a bright, pleasing sourness.

Compare that to Starbucks Coffee Colombia Medium, $11.53 per pound, which didn't even place among the top regular coffees.

That's Right,

Mobile Computing

April Fools Day came early as the New York based troupe Improv Everywhere entered a Starbucks one by one bringing their own gigantic computer, monitor and keyboard. After buying coffee they parked and worked at their computers as if they were just part of the normal laptop crowd.

Genius!

As usual, their mission is well documented - check it out: Mobile Desktop.

Hello Applebucks!

Lots of iPod news today - upgrades and improvements abound!

And I got my wish - an iPhone without the phone! So as of today, I can surf the internet with my iPod!

I'm also digging the fact that the new touch screen wi-fi iPod, dubbed The iPod Touch, enables shopping for songs using Apple's iTunes service wirelessly in Starbucks stores.

And according to the Keynote today, the wi-fi at Starbucks is now free with the iPod Touch and iPhones.

Sweet!

The service starts in New York and Seattle on Oct. 2 (my birthday!), and will be rolled out in other cities later.

That's Right,
