We’re on a hiatus this week, due to the free beverages being given away.  If you’re in the dark on that, please visit our Hanes Mall Blvd. location between 6am and 10am for a free medium drink of your choice (smoothies and bottled drinks excepted) EVERY DAY until Sunday.

For our downtown customers, you can get a free drink at the 4th street location next Tuesday, 12/22 just by asking for one.

Enjoy the free drinks and thanks for your business!

coffeecupinverterUntil now I had to put my power inverter on the floor of my car.  Now, thanks to brilliance, I can put the above device in my cup holder and have two AC power outlets plus a USB charger available.  Now I just have to choose between that second cup of coffee and the power inverter.

If you’re upset at the apparent non-nerdiness of last week’s question, feel free to calculate the amount of fiber in our smoothies out to 17 significant figures.  In hindsight, I should have probably asked how many grams of fiber a smoothie has.  Apologies.  The answer to the previous question is the Ray Palmer with 6.150 grams of fiber.

This week’s question is much nerdier:

How many characters of data did it take to render the following image.
