Lone Star Coffee Bar and Wine Bar in Austin Ranch is that perfect place to grab a cup of coffee on the go, or sit back and relax, while enjoying wine and song. Owners Shane and Susan Shumake have virtually made this place their home. They see this as part of giving back to their community. Annie Shumake manages the entire place, and is so upbeat and energetic, it’s infectious.
Here is a ribbon cutting ceremony by The Colony Chamber of Commerce celebrating the Lone Star Coffee Bar and Wine Bar becoming a chamber member.

Granite pathways. Native grasses, trees and plants are used in order to preserve water as well as create intentional wildlife habitats. Get ready!
The search giant and MPEG-LA, a patent pool packager (who doesn’t love alliteration?), have reached an agreement that will allow Google to license its VP8 video compression technology, thus side-stepping a potentially costly legal battle.

But with unlimited data plans being phased out, unless the cost of video decreases significantly, making the consumer pay is going to be a tough pill to swallow. Click here for more from VideoNuze »
