It's my favorite news aggregation site, much like drudge report before it was sold and made a hard left turn.
Anyway, he hit 17.3 million page views in a single day. Kane is doing this out of his pocket and the server is getting overloaded. I suggested that he sell a little bit of advertising space to defray the costs. I'd hate to see it, but how else can you handle that much traffic.
With that kind of traffic I'd imagine that a single advertising sponsor would be worth quite a bit of money.
If you're a news/political junkie like I am, you should check his site out.

Veteran Coffee Review #23 : Caliber Coffee - 300 Black Out Extra Dark Roast!



Bottom line: Dark roastyness on the nose. Very roasty flavor with a touch of bitterness. Strong but smooth. Cream and sugar got rid of the bitterness and brought out a chocolate note, 4 Thumbs up!

So I've gotten notices that they're discontinuing their message app and to download Google messages.  Ok, but when I tried to go to the app store Google wants me to sign in. I've tried several times but wasn't successful.  I called Verizon to make sure the message app ending was legit and they confirmed it. Funny thing is I could get into the app store on my tablet but not on my phone.
I'm paying Verizon about $110 for two devices and unlimited data. Consumer cellular gave me the same for $60 so I signed up with them. They use at&t towers so it should be ok.  I still have to solve the messaging app problem but now I'm saving $50 a month.
Does anyone have a trusted app downloading place beside Google play store? I'm using Android devices. I know it's a small group of regular members here but I also know I can trust you guys if you have recommendations.

Wine Review #23: Don Benigno - Amontillado Sherry!



Bottom line: Hazelnut on the nose. Sweetness followed by hazelnut followed by tartness. A caramel apple flavor shows up later. 4 Thumbs up!
