CyberCafe.com is a nice worldwide index of internet-enabled coffee houses and bars. Although their presence is waning in the US (The LA area only has three), most other countries have a handful in each major city and they're quite handy when you're traveling. A friend recently came back from Ecuador, where he used one for about a dollar per hour. By the way, I noticed something odd in the Ecuador listings, one cafe is called "BillGato Zona Internet." Am I translating that correctly as "Bill Gates Zone?"

"BillCat Internet Zone." They evidently plan to have a site at www.billgato.com.

Perhaps an homage to Bloom County?

Hey Jess, does that mean you actually know Wendi? I can think of several people who have spent a significant amount of time at Speakeasy (David aka Zzyzx aka Timer, Amber, Shari...) - how small-worldy!

Free associating from Ecuador, does the Equator in Pasadena not count because it's just got coin-op access to the internet?

Joe, would this be the Wendi that does Slumberland? It's a new blog that I really enjoy.
