I’m impressed with all of this technology, however the timer in the bubble next to the individual speaking really stands out. I’m sure it will do wonders for those who care not to be concise, thus making meetings/conference calls/webinars all the more efficient and enjoyable.

I’ve been saying this for a few months now to anyone who will lend me an ear: I think Starbucks is experiencing a renaissance of sorts. I think it’s a company (and stock) worth watching and it seems the NY Times agrees; they’re calling it a rebound.
My interest in coffee shops and coffee in general began at a young age with my grandfather who is one of my greatest heroes. He used to pick me up from school and take me to Peet’s Coffee next to the Claremont Hotel in Berekeley, CA, nearly 20 years before Peet’s became a national company and coffee shops became a publicly traded phenomenon. I remember the confusion and delight on the barista’s face when I, as a child, would walk up to the counter and order a cup of coffee (half milk, half coffee) with a brownie that I could never finish.
