#guardiancoffee - The Guardian newspaper, coffee & Apple iPads

|

Can there be anything more "New Meedja" than a "pop up" cyber café run by the politically left of centre The Guardian newspaper (one of the few left which actually investigates the establishment power elites), serving coffee etc. with Apple iPad tablet computers at some of the tables ?

Note the use of a Twitter hashtag #guardiancoffee for the name.

The £99 electronic cigarette gizmos could be mistaken for Dr. Who style sonic screwdrivers or they could easily be used straight off, or slightly adapted, as SteamPunk fashion accessories.

The Old Shoreditch Station - first BitCoin ATM in London

Shoreditch is an increasingly gentrified inner city area adjacent to the City of London, which is in the process of what William Gibson described as regooding

The disused Shoreditch Railway Station has become a cafe, bar, art gallery clothing & shoes store etc:- The Old Shoreditch Station

The cafe / bar is the first place in the UK to have a public BitCoin ATM (made by Lamassu) which allows you to convert real banknotes into BitCoin cryptocurrency with reasonable convenience (limit £1000 with 8% commission) and some anonymity.
