StarbucksWiFi.pngFree Wi-Fi Access for Starbucks and Bell Customers @ Starbucks
Starbucks and Bell are now offering free wireless Internet access at more than 650 Starbucks stores in Canada! For Bell Sympatico Internet customers you'll receive unlimited access by using your Bell ID to login to the Starbucks wireless access points. There's more information at www.bell.ca/wifi (currently that page doesn't seem to redirect properly in FireFox but works in Internet Explorer).

Starbucks customers get more limited access but that still amounts to 2 hours of free Wi-Fi per day by using your Starbucks Card and entering the number on the back to login. There's more details at www.starbucks.ca/wifi and in the fall you will have to register your card with Starbucks to receive access.

For students, this makes studying at Starbucks even more practical than before!

VistaPrint.gifVistaPrint.com Offers Personalized Sticky Notes and Rubber Address Stamps for Free*
Listen up, small business owners: as you know, the hardest part of getting started with a small business is making a name for yourself. And the truth is, the more often people see your business name and information, the more likely they are to remember next time they're in need of some snow plowing or copy-editing or consulting services. Fortunately, VistaPrint.com has some great sticky notes for FREE (just pay the cost of shipping). You will probably find yourself using them again and again -- attaching one to your customer invoice with a short personalized note, using another to convey an appointment time. (We are particularly fond of putting sticky notes on the pages of our day timer to remind us of appointments. Imagine if all your customers did that with your personalized notes. Hello, free advertising!)

VistaPrint.com is also offering its personalized rubber stamp for free with the cost of shipping. Anyone who's written their return address on a couple hundred envelopes knows what a time-saver these can be. And hey, if you're not a small business owner, get the notes and stamp anyway: what's not to love about personalized stuff?
