Free Wireless, Good Beer I stumbled upon an excellent "virtual office" this afternoon. While riding my bike downtown for JUG meeting tonight, I decided to stop at a local restaurant: The HandleBar & Grill. While driving by a few months ago, I noticed a "free wireless" sign, so I figured I'd stop in and check it out. Sure 'nuff - I'm on it right now! Not only is this a good burger joint, but they have some good microbrews too. Better yet, I just noticed it's happy hour. So here I am, sipping on a Fat Tire and working on open source. Life doesn't get much better than this! Posted in General at Jun 08 2005, 04:18:32 PM MDT 4 Comments

Ha! That is so damn awsome! That's what I'd be doing if I won the lottery and never had to work for money again! anyways, I am trying to talk my local (after Friday work) bar to get a wireless connection. Too bad there were no conferences or JUGS in my city... I'd buy you a beer ;-) (Good Micro Brew - http://www.steamwhistle.ca)

A local ISP will install wireless in almost any local business for free as long as the business will allow the public to come in an use the space. My wife owns a gift and card store in town and has considered it. The ISP has got hotspots all over town. It doesn't cost anything for the businesses and it's free for anyone to use. A guy I work with had Fat Tire beer when he was in Austin and has recommended it. Haven't tried it yet, but our local beverage store just started carrying Celis White so I'm happy.

Hey-at the Krakow Market Square we're a step ahead - free WiFi is available at the whole square. And you have plenty of beer gardens to choose from - the circumference of the Square is approx. 2500 feet - most of it covered with waterholes. Peace, GM

Here in Sonoma County my local pub serves <strong>Death and Taxes</strong> beer from Moonlight Brewing :)

The Sonoma county wines aren't too shabby either.
