Our feature this week is just for a bit of fun. By now you’ve probably heard about Nerdvana, the new coffee shop in Frisco Square. But you may have missed the part about “Coffee Ripples.” It’s an app that let’s you send Nerdvana an image that will be printed on your cappuccino or other frothy drink. It might be your face, logo, a quote, or something else. The app is easy to use and free to download. Apple – Android
