Finding Free WiFi

If You Offer Free WiFi, Steal This

We were in the bay area last week, and after a meeting near Berkeley we stopped at a coffee shop to get some work done.  Actually...we planted outside of a Teriyaki joint.  Quickly.  See the image below.  This is what popped up when I logged into their wifi network.  They asked for my email, warned me that it the network wasn't safe to send important data, told me about their restaurant, ran some ads.  Etc.  Etc.  Etc.  Very cool, I learned how Quickly started.  Stuck with me enough to post it, and if I'm ever in that area again you can bet that's the restaurant I'll remember.

Dear every coffee shop in the nation...why don't you do this?

I hope you've seen this

Write That Down

"Nothing kills a great idea like sitting down and thinking about it"
---Brent Lamphier, July 2008.

Had a conversation with a budding entrepreneur the other day, and this was the advice I ended up giving.  He'd been incubating his idea off and on for a number of years.  Eventually, you have to stop thinking about it and just try to make the dang thing work.  Good luck to him and good luck to you.
