so i dragged my laptop out today to find out what these "hotspot" are all about. i know, i know welcome to the 21st century, but what can i say ... i am an analog girl in a digital world. anyway so i'm sitting here at starbucks (in beautiful oakland, california) with my tea and laptop giddy with excitement.
i log on and of course the shit does not work! their server seems to be down. this is just the latest on a long list of reason why i hate starbucks or the "evil empire" as i lovingly refer to it. i can't believe i just gave them $1.45 for this tea. principally i will go through great lengths to not support the evil empire. god i hope the germans have not gone starbucks-crazy as well.
i am so thrown that i don't even know what i was going to write about. i suppose i could pack up and go to mcdonald's but i hate them almost as much as i hate starbucks. so back to the office it is!
and so my adventure in wifi failed miserably ... and people wonder why i prefer pen and paper!
= ) st
p.s. james (living, breathing wealth of information) saved the day by taking me to whole foods to scope out their wifi. law & behold their spot was actually a 'hot' one and so i sat contently munching on my california rolls as i finally managed to post this rant.
