Ok … I tried out a really cool coffee shop/cafe, right in the thick of things, near the SXSW show — Halcyon.  Right off the bat, I learned how they keep up with the high rent — $3.50 for a n/a ginger beer.  But it was good.

The King & Wi-Fi: Fast Food, Fast Connection

March 7th, 2009 · Tags: Restaurant · Satire · Wi-Fi

Don’t tell me there is nothing new in Wi-Fi.  Today in Exton, Penn., I encountered the wireless wonder at a Subway and at The King’s place too. (So is Jared a computer geek, in addition to being a dork?)  I am sure there are lots of SWs and BKs that have W-F, but I ain’t […]

November 24th, 2008 · Tags: Cities · Coffee Shops · Hotels · Restaurant

My visit to San Francisco began with a bang. San Francisco International Airport hosted a press conference, and then treated me to their T-Mobile HotSpot, one of the largest in the country.

This just in from the “Texas Tech representin hotline” … Ha … My last day in San Francisco, I decided what the heck, why not wear the Red Raider shirt. I can say with some certainty that I was the only guy in San Francisco wearing the double T for Tech. But, the shirt is […]

Well, it took exactly one and only one ocean wave to rip off my sunglasses — even though they were “tied on” my head with a brand new, Lifeguard-red croakie strap.  Ha … That’s a good look! “Aye, the ocean she is angry and she has taken me rose colored spectacles to the deep, to […]

ESPN Zone Wi-Fi: Don’t Tear Down Goalposts Just Yet

October 2nd, 2008 · Tags: Cities · Restaurant

In sports, on any given Sunday, the lowest ranking team might rise up and hand you your star quarterback’s head on a plate. Anything can happen. It’s why you play the game – fantasy or otherwise. In PR, it isn’t supposed to be that way. Every day, you are supposed to put your game face […]

How Much For That Laptop? Wi-Fi Tactics at St. Johns

September 15th, 2008 · Tags: Cities · Coffee Shops · Restaurant

The next day, I fired up the Wi-Fi Ford 250 Diesel, 4-wheel-drive, King Ranch edition and rolled toward Jacksonville for some urban trucking. But first, I ran across what must be the shopping mecca of north Florida, St. Johns Town Center. As I like to say, there was more Wi-Fi than you could shake a […]
