Two of my favorite things

''We never promoted Sanka as an appealing cup of coffee,'' said Mr. Whiteman. He explained that Sanka was aimed at the elderly, who might be especially sensitive to the effects of caffeine.

New coffee place. Colados Coffee and Crepes. Not far from home. Got tired of the Stabucks atomoshpere and what has become very non-remarkable coffee. Also, not real happy with the second change in SB's Rewards program.

Colados is great and the coffee is exceptional, along with the atmosphere.

Move it a bit, it's making me so nervous for you!

That 17in PowerBook/MacBook Pro takes up the whole table

Nah, it's ok. Limited room on this little table here, but my son and I have been in tighter spots. The cup is on a saucer too so we're good there.

Very nice drawings!
But guys, you have to try our coffee.. Italian one is served in a small cup, so it is very intense... The american one is diluted a lot with water...

Most American coffee shops refer to what you describe as a Doppio. They come served in a small cup and you add nothing to it. It's all about the coffee.

Most 'cappucino's' here though are diluted with milk. For ones diluted with water you'd order the Americano.

The difference here in America between the cappucino and the latte is that the cappucino is more foam and less milk (although you can order a 'wet' cappucino). The latte is pretty much just milk on top of the espresso.

Some Friday night sippin' waiting for the Mrs's to get home.

So, this is the second time we've been to Colado's Coffee and the WiFi has been down. Thought I'd just grab a shot of my PowerBook G4 tethered to my iPhone 6s+.

If you look close you may see my tethering icon has two connections. My laptop and my son's iPhone 4s.

This is the second time I've had to tether, but I have 7GBs of tethering to spare and…well TetherMe (yeah, my iPhone is jailbroken).

How does one tether their devices? I have never done it.

Pretty jealous of the jailbreak. iOS 10 is fast, but I miss the customization. I do love my 7+

The iPhone makes it fairly easy.

If you have tethering then a 'Personal Hotspot' option will appar in the Settings app. You turn that on. Options are to tether via USB, bluetooth or WiFi.

I usually tether via WiFi. That creates a wireless network your computer can connect to. You connect to it just like you would any other network and enter the password (if you set one, which you'd be smart to do in public).

At that point your computer has an internet connection and you go on as normal.
