I’m really surprised we don’t yet have a good, cheap corner bakery in downtown Ann Arbor. Sure, there’s Zingerman’s but that doesn’t really count. I’m looking for something like the bakeries in Chicago’s Chinatown, or Detroit’s Mexicantown, where I paid $7.50 for this delicious box of treats:
(how much do you think that would have cost at Café Japon?)
In France, there’s a smart little bakery on every corner. Same in Germany, but they’re generally national chains with Stehplätze (standing tables) only. You can still get your sweet roll for 40 euro cents, though.

Craig sends it an email like this:
“Matt will update the photos and captions on the homepage by Tuesday. Here are the files he needs: [attachments]”
And I get an email right away (and whenever else I want) that says:
“Update the photos and captions on the homepage by Tuesday. Here are the files: [attachments]”
There would be a project page where I can log in and check all that stuff, since I lost all those emails and then turned off notifications for a week.
When I’m done, I just send it an email saying,
“I updated the homepage. Took 1 hour. Craig now needs to find new photos for next week”
And the system knows what I’m talking about.
I’m pushing a page called “What I’m reading“; it’s a list of just that, along with my past and upcoming lists.
Better organization is coming soon. I enjoy making incremental changes. Perhaps other people have similar pages, and no doubt there’s a web2.0 service that handles this. I’m not familiar with them, though. Can you enlighten me?
This will probably be an evolving post until I can set up a tumblelog side like the previous matth.org.
