You say Potato, I say Pringles

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

London’s Court of Appeals determined May 20 that Pringles are a food group, not just a snack, meaning that the chip is taxable at 15%, according to a report filed by msnbc.com. Across the pond, potato chips are subject to the tax while most foods are not.

The judges’ ruling was based on content value. A lot like the value between a good Internet site and one that’s lacking.

From the public-facing side of a website the SEO underpinnings aren’t necessarily evident. A flash home page, for example, might fill the senses with entertainment, but it can’t be optimized the way a hybrid html/flash page can. And if you’re seeking to boost your website to the top of the search engines, it’s essential that your website be able to be optimized.

The alternative is like dieting on martinis and chocolate-entertaining but valueless.

So Fresh and So Green

Octane Coffee, Denver’s one and only coffee shop in a 1962 Globetrotter Airstream trailer, is pulling up to the Cherry Creek Farmer’s Market all summer long. We’ll be the ones with the small carbon footprint. The truck toting the Kerouac-esteemed Airstream is a Flex Fuel vehicle that runs on 85% ethanol fuel.

We are a homegrown Denver business and we’re coming out to support the independent Colorado agricultural industry. Well, that and we just plain love the straight-from-the-vine goods. We have teamed with another local business dedicated to sustainability, Coda Coffee, to bring you gourmet coffee and espresso beverages. What better way to start out your morning at the market than with an iced latte or a steaming Octane blend? If you are looking for breakfast we carry baked goods and biscotti in addition to the freshest breakfast burritos you will ever take to go.

We love to connect with our Cherry Creek community so come by and introduce yourself and grab a biscuit for your canine companion Saturdays May 2nd through October 31st from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
