Jason, You’re not the only one the forgets about the Wilde Roast.
I’ll be biking through NE thinking, “Where can I go for lunch and wifi?….Oh, yeah, there’s the Wilde Roast.”
Good grilled cheese as well.

I’m trying to find the online version of an article in Today’s PiPress. This is really hard.
Searching for the author’s name doesn’t work. Copying the headline from the PDF version of the front page and pasting it into search doesn’t work.
Found it.
I Googled for the headline, the only result – Chuck’s posting of the article.
Here it is: On vacation, but still in the loop. Hi, I’m Garrick and I take my laptop on vacation. Especially to places I love.
Thanks to Julio, Chuck, and Google.
I forgot to mention all the blogging I did on that trip.
Re-reading those posts, looks like we’re just now flirting with the low end of the gas prices I saw in Europe 6 months ago.

Where Edits Due
I had attributed the following quote to Chuck Olsen. Over lunch last week, he denied credit for it. Looks like I mixed up my film makers.
Google Gears and Joyent Slingshot – Take the Web Offline
My biggest issue with browser-based apps is their complete uselessness when I’m without internet access (or low bandwidth situations). Still happens quite frequently.
I knew that situation wouldn’t last long, but of all the potential outcomes, I didn’t expect this one: Joyent Slingshot and Google Gears turn browser-based apps into offline desktop apps.
Crazy.

Notice all the stores Dave mentions are related:
- Gap, Banana Republic, and Old Navy are all Gap Inc. brands.
- Eight years ago when Apple didn’t have any retail stores, Millard Drexler, then CEO of Gap Inc, joined the Apple Board of Directors.
Personally, I can count on one hand the number of items I’ve ever purchased from Gap Inc. They just don’t sell things in my size, let alone style.
