A great modern minimalist desk from Jonas &Jonas that could easily resist my kid, Jake the Destroyer, a 15-month old, for easily 15 seconds.   He would then be crying, the dog would be eating any food I had hidden on the desk and his mother would be discussing my bad judgment in buying it in the first place.

But nice for apartments without Kid Jake.

I liked Bill Clinton. He seemed reasonable. I defended him for 8 years in the White House and 8 years as an ex-President.
He was the Democratic president of my adulthood.

I didn’t want him impeached. I wished he had told the truth about Monica, but he was a guy.

Now he’s been highly visibly supporting his wife for president and I don’t like him. I want him to go away. I want to pretend that I never liked him.

Now I have to start defending Jimmy Carter.

The deal announced in February wherein AT&T Wi-Fi will replace T-Mobile Hot Spots in 7,000 Starbucks locations is going ahead. Like many T-Mobile users who already have been long using Starbucks as an office away from home, I’ve kept my head in the sand and each time I’ve passed a Starbucks, I’ve taken comfort in continuing to see the T-Mobile logo in the window. I had hoped the deal had just gone away.

But no, AT & T has started their rollout in San Antonio, TX area Starbucks stores making the Texas city the first “to deliver the complete AT&T Wi-Fi
experience in the U.S”, a possibly dubious honor.

As of May 1, “qualifying” AT&T customers can connect to the Internet from Wi-Fi enabled company-operated Starbucks locations nationwide. “Free AT&T Wi-Fi service is currently offered with AT&T’s three higher-speed residential broadband
packages, all small business broadband packages and with all AT&T U-verse(SM) offerings with high speed Internet service.”

For the rest of us shlemiels, “AT&T Wi-Fi service will reach company-operated Starbucks locations on a market-by-market basis throughout the year.”
How will we buy the service? “The experience will include a mix of free and paid connection options for both frequent and occasional Wi-Fi users and qualifying Starbucks customers.”

Stay tune, This deal will probably be good for all those annoying iPhone users.
