I love watching my blog count table. You guys are great and it seems that I have many more readers and I do 'subscribed' readers, or for that matter, page views. And that's fine with me. Some of my friends right some EXCELLENT blogs as well - and that has, in a couple cases, been why I friend requested them in the first place.
It occurred to me that there's a fun drinking game buried in all this. Take tonight for example. I have not posted anything all day and my reads are at zero. I know from experience that the counts start ticking soon after I post something new. So the drinking game idea is simply this... post a new blog. When the view count goes up by one, take a shot! Hmm. I might be on to something here. Although a couple of you friends shouldn't try this. You write so well that your view count is likely to put you into an alcohol induced coma if you try this. I think I'd be safe though.
And so as not to leave you empty handed with today's blog entry, I will leave you with a review, or list anyway, of places in Anchorage to get free wi-fi internet. My first choice is Kaladi Bros Coffee. They used to charge $4/day for wireless net access but the last stores seem to have caved and gone 'free.' Of these, my ..1 Fav is the KBC at Title Wave - that crew friggin rocks! Besides... it's on the route of my AM work commute. Second to that would be KBC Tudor Square (by O'Brady's on Tudor/Muldoon). This one's close to home. I've also tried the Southside loc. on Old Seward btw. Dimond and O'Malley. And today I tried the new location at the PAC. Nice atmosphere. The wi-fi is free in all these locations, but the new downtown requires a user name and password which they give you at the counter. Okay... next up on the free internet is Aurora Coffee at Loussac Library. The owner's name is Jason, and he does a great job. Tell him Steve sent you. The library itself also has free wireless sponsored by the non-profit Friends of the Library. The range is limited to the lobby and areas of the 3rd floor close to the main staircase. Next: Cafe Felix in the Metro Music. Check out the local featured artwork. They also have live music on some evenings. If you want wi-fi with food and like to eat healthy: Organic Oasis has free wireless. They also have live music in the evenings, but I think there's a cover. Oh! Aurora in Loussac also has some food. Soups, sandwiches, chips, cookies, etc. I think that BK and Carl's Jr may also do free wireless, but I rarely do BK and never Carl’s; so can't confirm.
