anyone use this service from starbucks and t-mobile?

it looks pretty sweet... but for $30/month, i think i'd have to spend a lot more time in starbucks.
why not free?
oh, if i only lived above a starbucks...

ah man... from your topic i thought starbucks was now going to digitally shoot coffee via wireless 'coffee shooters' into my system. damn.

ha, kona, i didn't know you worked for marketforce. i was looking at that position in sept 01. i noticed you left in april, not a good ride? they still in business? they were hurting when i was looking at them.

back to the topic at hand... why can't i just show up and connect? does t-mobile send a prompt to my machine when i'm in the area? is it password protected?

yeah... that place was a time bomb waiting to go off. my boss bounced a grand total of 3 checks to me. the first one bounces. so he writes one to cover it. it bounces. then he says the first will go through. eventually it did. then the next check bounces too. i took it as a sign to run... fast.
not sure if they're still in business. they were REALLY hurting when i left.
where you at now?

ouch. glad i didn't pursue that one. how's the new place treating you? i like the flash version of the site. well done.
i'm currently do freelance work and have a 9-5 at a medical association headquarters. we're announcing a redesign in two weeks or so, and then i'll post and brag. but until then... mums the word.

i'm kinda diggin the new place. it's so corporate though. i started here in may and the site still isn't live due to a lack of content on their part. sucks. it's a constant battle.
we'll have to hook up for lunch sometime nearby. hooters is nice this time of year i hear. ; )
