Enjoy your new iPhone at Starbucks

Tired of driving around to every AT&T store in the metro area or waiting in line at the Apple Store for your new iPhone 3g?

Sure. We all are.

At least you can rest easy knowing that your Atlanta-area Starbucks aren’t going anywhere any time soon, at least not according to this map, despite the company’s recent store closings.

So, good news, if you’re into that sorta “stuff”, coffee and Apple products alike.

Here’s hoping you’re sipping a latte, reading this on your new iPhone now.

football!!!! (the real kind)

okay, if you read my personal blog you will know that i am a huge fan of football (alright, soccer for those of you who must) and manchester united in particular.

just wanted to remind you, know that the english premier league season is in full swing, and the draw has been completed for the uefa champions league, that atlanta has one of the best places in the world to take in a football match.

the brewhouse cafe in little 5 on moreland ave was nominated by the us soccer federation as one of the 5 best soccer bars in the country.

it’s everything you could want - multiple tv’s, great breakfast (don’t forget those english matches start early), great staff, and a great crowd.

seriously, come out and join us. the atmosphere for a big match can’t be beat and you’ll find intelligent, knowledgeable fans ready to teach you all you need to know about the game.

i’ll be there saturday at noon for manchester united vs sunderland.

details:

Nothing like free (and pay) wifi locations mashed up with Google Maps. Yum!

Random Question

Now that smokers are being treated far and wide in this town as scoundrels and villains, explain to me why it is that only the spots with both wifi and indoor smoking serve the crappiest food in town.

I’m just wondering. It’s a simple question, really.

3rd Wave -> RippleWiFi


3rd Wave Hotspots are some of my favorite places in Atlanta (Free wifi, people!). This happened a couple of days ago, but it is worth noting that 3rd Wave Hotspot has changed its name to Ripple. As they note on the website: “We didn’t sell-out or anything. We just integrated 3rd Wave Hotspot into Ripple. Now everything matches. We can get dressed in the morning much easier this way.”

And, they’re having a party to celebrate it on June 9th. At Octane!
Here’s the part of the email they sent out about it:
The short version:
We have changed the name from 3rd Wave to Ripple. Yes, still free.
We have fun, slightly controversial T-shirts. You can buy one if you like.
We’re having a party. Octane Coffee Bar. Yes, beer specials. Friday, June 9th at 5:30.
We have some new locations.
We love you.
