Yes that’s right! On today’s visit to Starbucks I will be earning my 30th star which entitles me to a Gold Card. What do you get? Right now I have a green card and at that level I get free wi-fi for up to two hours, free syrups, free brewed coffee refills, and free trial offers. After you earn 30 stars, you advance to the Gold Level. At this level, you get all the benefits a Green Card gets as well as a free drink after every...

Yesterday I found a hotspot that came in handy and will certainly make my visits to the mechanic a little more pleasant. I had met up with a client in the Rockville center area. After I was through I went out to Panera Bread in Rockville center for lunch so I could hop on their free WiFi. Paid $1 for parking so I wouldn’t get a parking ticket.  Over Lunch I worked through my Google Reader as I had fallen behind my favorite blogs....

Why are iPhone’s so popular? Here’s what one young lady did with her iPhone. I’m incredibly impressed! You may have seen this already as it’s gone viral but this video is a testament to how powerful the iPhone really is. This young Chinese artist made use of apps like DrumMeister, Bassist, iDrum, NlogSynthesizer, NESynth and iShred, as well as a Macbook, a Macbook Pro, a camera, photography software and, most...

With the spectacular weather we had yesterday I actually took out the video camera for the first time for 2010. Of course I spent most of my day in traffic so that’s what I filmed. Long Island Traffic! What Entertainment! Don’t worry, I took the 10 minutes of video and speeded it up into about 60 seconds. I gave up sitting in traffic  and decided when I was in the East Meadow area, I would stop at Eisenhower Park. I actually...

Psst…. Newsday is owned by “CABLEVISION“! ;) . But what’s coming next? Cablevision now boasts the fastest internet in the country and, as you probably already know, is attempting to blanket Long...

Visible Vote is an unbiased and non-partisan service that aims to bring transparency to our representative form of government. Discover the most technologically effective way to advise,...

This is an obvious choice for a mashup– two of the greatest entertainers writing songs about their favorite city. And as a big Jay Z fan and Billy Joel fan I just had to share this: Credit goes to Loveandlogicrock’s youtube channel. They’ve got some great stuff going on. Great Start to the Weekend!...

Today I spent some time, early this morning, doing some WiFi hunting in the Uniondale, long Island area. I updated my spreadsheet with the results. I was a bit disappointed in what I found. I got up really early and did my usual routine by headed to the local Starbucks in Uniondale located on Hempstead Trnpk. The day started out fine as the local Starbucks obviously has AT&T access and is close enough to an Optimum WiFi hotspot to use...
