Hate those tough decisions

Hmmm… what do I do? play Portal from the Orange Box or work… too tough a decision to make before noon.

Twitter having an effect on length of blog post … must squeeze out a few … more … words ……..

Starbucks plans to go gold

I luvs my Starbucks.

So I’m happy to hear Starbucks Coffee will be introducing a gold card in the U.S. Details are slim, but I like the free birthday drink.

Says Brad Stevens’s Starbucks blog: And when you register your Gold Card, you’ll unlock additional benefits like a free drink on your birthday, exclusive offers and discounts, and access to the Gold members-only website.  That’s when the top-shelf treatment really begins.

Details are here.

Also, he notes “I’m letting you know about Starbucks Gold early, so don’t be surprised if your barista isn’t up-to-speed yet!”

Blogs are dead? But I just got one…

In with the Tweet out with the blog

Actually this one’s not new, just seems that way because I haven’t posted in so long.

I was reading the latest Wired magazine (Thanks Megan for renewing my subscrption!), and there was a thought-provoking article by former Wired senior editor, Paul Boutin, about the death of the blog.

Boutin argues the blog is passe because mainstream news sources are now dominating and it’s near impossible for a grassroots writer to appear high up in a Google search. The new mediums for lesser-knowns are Twitter, Facebook and Flickr.
