Since Starbucks is kind of like my second office, and I do a lot of work and client meetings there.  Again Casual Commerce stands for casual meetings with clients over a cup of coffee.  Quite often clients are surprised when I tell them that I can use Starbucks’ wireless access to get online for free, and they want to know how to do this.  It’s actually quite simple, all you need is a starbucks card, which is free, but you just have to load money into it and buy coffee with it, and you use the PIN number in the back of the card to sign up for an account with AT&T to get a login/pswd.

For some reason, Starbucks’ web site makes this information hard to find, so here it is:

Get a card, have a cup of coffee, and get online.
