Hot! Hot! Hot!

No, I'm not talking about our latest head shot session... just the weather.

Thank God for free wi-fi and air conditioning at our local It's A Grind. I'd be at home sweating it out without you.

I remember the first time I went to a Starbucks to meet with a client. Brought all my samples, brochures and a trusty laptop to show them our newly updated website. I was so excited - for about 5 minutes - until I got my non-fat raspberry mocha and opened my Power Book. Safari (the web browser) directed me to a T-Mobile login site. That's when I bitterly learned that Starbucks doesn't offer free wi-fi like me beloved It's a Grind. They charge you, per minute no less.

To access the web you have to sign up and get a login account. From there you pay into it like a pre-paid cell phone. What's our world coming to? We've exchanged free refills for common courtesy. Nothing's free anymore (not even extra sauces at McDonald's) - just our refills.

Okay, sorry for the rant - it's hot, hot, hot and my peach iced tea is just settling in and cooling me off.

Ahh... much better. :)
