Jo's Coffee Downtown on 2nd. (btwn Lavaca & Colorado) seems to be pretty cool. The first thing that grabs you is the picturesque European qualiy of this stretch of 2nd. Auto traffic has been reduced to 2 narrow lanes in the very center of the strt w/ the sidewalks on either side widened in2 some sort of pedestrial esplenade. Very nicely nestled between lux. condos and 30+ flr skyscrapers. The patio tastefully juts out from the building frnt, taking full advantage of the generous brick laden thoroughfare. Same 'Jo's' w/ the addition of a full vittles menu. Not the same-styled hang as S. Congress, but nice.

@mike_mcalli That rumor that Apple might diversify it's carrier service 4 the iPhone is supportd by tidbits lk this I fnd 2day. "Neither AT&T nor Apple have revealed how long their exclusive deal lasts. Apple doesn't seem to consider exclusive carrier contracts a long-term strategy — in many countries, there are now multiple iPhone carriers." -via Yahoo News

@mike_mcalli I hear ya' cause 10-15 secs of a song does Not tell you whether or not you want 2 buy it! Personally, I think MS has hit on a real good thing w/ the Zune Pass and with adding the 'keep 10 tracks a mo.' addition it's clearly no waste of $ if ur a music lover. They also tell you which tracks are DRM free b4 you buy. They have them all marked. That servc intro'ed me to Lots of New Music! Buen idea! What do you think of Rhapsody?

@mike_mcalli Got it. Thanks. I never knew Steve Jobs "poo-pooed" music subscrption servcs. At least all the music you get frm iTunes is Yours and you don't have DRM issues. That's a pain in the ass! I've had them some w/ MS due to subscr., then later 'buying' the same music only Not to have it play on any other devcs, other than Zune...and smtms the softwr would have issues flipping the swtch on prev. subscrbd to 'purchased' cntnt.
That iTunes Pass looks like it could be good.
