Just over a year ago coworker and friend Sara Johns and her husband chef Brandon Johns bought into the Ann Arbor restaurant Vinology. Brandon made tremendous progress with his attempts to create a dining experience based around fresh locally sourced foods. Food went from being something of an afterthought to the wines at Vinology [...] A new computer supply and repair shop just opened up around the corner from my downtown Ann Arbor office that so far at least is highly recommended. Beagle Brain is located at the west end of Nickels Arcade opposite the entrance to the Maynard parking structure. I’ve been wanting to put a bigger [...] For wine lovers, Vinology has been one of the best places to go in the Ann Arbor area since it opened on north Main St. a couple of years ago. With a big cellar and knowledgable wine specialists they held regular wine dinners and could always recommend the right wine to go with a [...] So I started the new job this week and it’s great. I love being part of a small team and the location is great. Among other things I’m writing on DieselForecast and HydrogenForecast.

Their prices have really gotten [...] I no longer get the Ann Arbor News, but I still check the Mlive website from time to time. They recently changed the address for the A2 news section from mlive.com/aanews to mlive.com/annarbornews. That’s fine if they want to do that although changing to a longer url is kind of a dumb idea. However, [...] We stopped in to eat at TK WU on Liberty Street in A2 this afternoon and left wishing we hadn’t. About the only thing we had that was halfway decent was the salt and pepper calamari for an appetizer. After that it went downhill. Sofie had the almond chicken which came smothered in a [...] In case you thought parking was hard to find in downtown Ann Arbor before, It may be about to get a whole lot worse. Yesterday it was announced that Google is going to build a new headquarters for their AdWords business in Ann Arbor and hire a thousand people in the area. Although having [...] |
