Today we visited another internet cafe in Ulster County NY. This one was light filled and airy, and was called Jack and Luna’s cafe. They served a breakfast panini, which feels like a way to charge much more for a grilled version of our egg sandwich that we sell at the cafe. The floor here is made of smooth cement, and the coffee was served in wide white soup bowls. We just bought some of these to use in the cafe since Bill, one of our regulars, wanted to sip latte out of something china not paper.
We had time to read the NY Times today and among the stories was news that MySpace will now be allowing bands to sell their music directly via the website, using technology invented by Sean Fanning, once of Napster fame. This ‘snowcap’ method will let people download songs or whole CDs, and the band/siteowners can set their own prices. That must be sending a chill through the music industry, another way to avoid dealing with them and putting consumers directly in touch with artists. Cool!
