This series of posts will walk you through the process of figuring out whether or not you can cancel your cable or satellite subscription.
As much as cable and satellite providers would like you to think they're the only ones with the good content, you do have other options.
These devices take content from the Internet to display on your TV.
We're not giving up the fight! These links take you to resources supporting the campaign to get Google to bring back Classic Maps.
While none of these alternative sites are perfect replacements for Classic Maps, they're what we've got for now. I haven't checked most of these out personally yet, but I'm linking to them anyway in case you find them helpful for your purposes.
Yeah, I hate 'em too... But if we're going to be stuck with them at least for the foreseeable future, I'll be working on some tutorial posts to try to make them a little less painful.
I have to start this post off with a full disclosure: I don’t drink coffee! But this year two different friends of mine in two different cities launched new roasting-related businesses so I thought I would share their info with my readers who may be looking for some caf-tastic items to give to friends, family, and business associates this holiday season (or simply to help themselves get THROUGH this holiday season! :))
And although I can’t personally attest to the high quality of their products, no worries: I feel quite comfortable recommending them. After all, for the last several years Zeke’s Coffee of D.C. has been chosen to supply National Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony with their locally roasted beans and Augusta-based coffee and espresso bar Buona Caffe has been named Best Coffee in Augusta by that city’s magazine 5 years in a row… Testimonials don’t get much better than that!
Zeke’s Coffee of D.C.
The most recent addition to the Zeke’s family of coffee-related businesses (they’re also in Baltimore and Pittsburgh), D.C. owner John Kepner started his small-batch roastery and coffee lab this year to better caffeinate the residents of the nation’s capital.
Located in the Woodridge neighborhood in the NE area of the city, the business is part roaster/part coffee shop, where customers can enjoy cups of any of the single-origin or custom blends they roast on site.
You can purchase Zeke’s beans and coffee-related gifts online at www.zekescoffee.net.
