Star-Buck

Posted in consumer on 23 January 2008 - 17 שבט 5768

Starbucks moves to offer an 8oz cup of brewed coffee for $1. This “innovation” in the market is, if I remember correctly, exactly the way Coffee used to be before Starbucks took over the market.
I seem to remember coffee (light, no sugar) a buttered roll cost me $1.50 in NYC, c1990.
The free refills, btw… [...]

New Mantra…

Posted in consumer on 21 January 2008 - 15 שבט 5768

Read mark learn and inwardly digest: “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.”:
That, more or less, is the short answer to the supposedly incredibly complicated and confusing question of what we humans should eat in order to be maximally healthy. I hate to give away the game right here at the beginning of a long [...]

Testing out the iTouch

Posted in consumer, review on 17 January 2008 - 11 שבט 5768

I’m posting this from my iPod Touch to see how it does. The keyboard is a little odd, but it’s quite useable. It’s sad that I need my spell-check so much that I notice its absence!

Posted in Judaism, consumer on 17 January 2008 - 11 שבט 5768

Way Progressive

Posted in consumer on 11 January 2008 - 5 שבט 5768

When I took my business to Progressive, they gave me the option of paper-snail or ebilling. When I picked ebills they said that they would plant a tree in a national park for me. Good customer service (no hold time, friendly, helpful and informative), good rates and a tree. Not bad.
I approve. [...]
