So what is Starbucks’ bigger-than-Venti secret coming up this Tuesday? Rumors on the web say a high end, upscale coffee made by hand that tastes great or free refills for a regular coffee drink. Boring!
Let’s go out on a crazy limb and collaborate with my favorite fruit company, Apple. There’s the hubbub of [...]

Have you been sampling the iTunes and Starbucks promotional Hand Picked Song of the Day? They are simply delectable!
For freebies, I was expecting mediocre stuff, but many of these songs are very, very good. You Picked Me by A Fine Frenzy, Emily King’s Moon, No One’s Gonna Love You by Band [...]

My passion for music and addiction to coffee and caffeine is in overdrive. Since iTunes and Starbucks started their Song of the Day promotion, I don’t think I’ve missed one song.
