Listless [2]
I blame del.icio.us digg ma.gnolia reddit slashdot stumbleupon etc. for everything. Lists: easy to write, easy to read 7 ways 10 ideas 20 projects 51 snake-oil objects ideally functioning as some shim for your Amazon affiliate id or shiny ppc bait or science knows what other gummy phosphorescent batshit. Lists considered harmful — headlines considered harmful — social bookmarking considered harmful — points, ratings, stars, popularity considered harmful. You are considered harmful. (8 things considered harmful!) That’s it — that’s all. Net extremely hoseled. Get off my lawn. Close the laptop. Stand up. Walk into the sea. Breathe.

Metacrap: your vital Wordpress plugins [1]
Nearing the line of empire with various Wordpress blogs in my life — here’s the baseline plugin list I’m using. There’s a complexity cost with this stuff, so each one counts (and several of them really, truly belong in the core software):
- FeedSmith alias FeedBurner
- Markdown
- Search Everything
- Search Hilite
- Wordpress.com stats
- wp-cache
- wp-microsummary
Also: two moonshine plugins (for ad management and server-side logging) that I use a lot but will never clean up enough for public distribution.

Artisan Bistro at 640 Packard, Ann Arbor MI 48104 [3]
Waiting for a break in the rain — ducked into the just-opened Artisan Bistro at State and Packard, formerly Atlanta Bread Company. Apparently the place changed hands recently, and new owners have put together a better show than the bread company (hardly an accomplishment).
Links — (1) a review from John Hritz; (2) the cafe site, advertised but not resolving; (3) an a2 snooze write-up; and (4) Artisan Bistro on Plazes.
Tons of seating, ground floor and basement, with relatively few outlets. Doesn’t look like there is house wifi (yet?). Veggie menu is pretty huge, and the coffee + snack I ordered is looking good. This would be a great microcoworking venue.
