Free WiFi in Silicon Valley?
Jake and I are “stuck” in San Jose today – our flight back to Seattle isn’t until 9pm tonight (unless it gets pushed back further due to today’s British thwarting). We’re going to get kicked out of our hotel room any minute now, and will need to seek shelter this afternoon. I’d rather not sit in a Starbucks for hours on end, but unless we can identify a place in San Jose (Mountain View, Cupertino) where free WiFi is available, I don’t know if we have much of a choice. I’d rather not pay for WiFi when I know wireless Internet access is free elsewhere. I’ll be checking email through my phone, so feel free to comment if you know of a great place for us to land (so to speak).
UPDATE: Looks like we’ll be on Microsoft’s campus this afternoon, after lunch – hanging with Joel Schonbrunn. If there are any other ’softies down here, we’ll be happy to say hello! Has Niall checked out yet?

Isn’t Leo, Patrick, or one of the gang in Cupertino. Maybe it is Dvorak I am thinking of. Give them a call.

By the way. What type of phone do you have, and who for service? Just curious. Looking to switch.

Panera Bread stores have free wi-fi. There’s one near the intersection of De Anza Blvd and Stevens Creek Blvd. in Cupertino.
Also, Coffee Society in Cupertino (on Stevens Creek across from De Anza College) has free wi-fi
Good luck.

Hey Chris, they have free wi-fi access in the downtown Palo Alto/University Ave area (101NB from San Jose, exit University Avenue, head West, *NOT* EAST, you do not wanna go east). Check out Coupa Cafe or University Cafe, there.
The sadist that I am, I’d invite you to hang at our M$ campus in Mtn View. Free pop, and you can gawk at the nerds playing ping pong all you want. ;)
Enjoy, ta,
