Hey mate, you got WiFi at this cafe?

Thoughts

Whether it’s Dr Grant Mooney from UTS, or some weird guy writing a blog, some of us just get more work done in coffee shops. I’ve attempted to pontificate on the reasons why over many a year here, but I’ve long since given up.

Normally I ignore these flippant remarks. To mess with them though, I put my browser full screen and started loading a ton of pages. It must have caught their attention:

I could have said I was tethered to the phone in my pocket but…

Yeah, pretty good for a tool, huh?

Now to be fair… nah, let’s not be this time.
