Reminder from the a2b3 lunch at Seoul Garden Thursday October 13, 2005 11:45 am - 1:15 pm This event does not repeat. Event Location: Seoul Garden, Boardwalk near Eisenhower Notes: We're returning for a second time - good food, and lots of room to talk. Show up a little early because it takes relatively long to get the food. Ed ADVERTISEMENT

I'll certainly try and stop in tomorrow. Will probably be a little
late since I'm coming from the other side of town.

Planning ahead for a change!

This week's a2b3 resumes at Seoul Garden (again), on Boardwalk near
Eisenhower. We'll meet at 11:45 there. Please do allow a little more
time than ordinary for lunch there, based on last time's efforts, it
took 20+ minutes to get the meal to the table. But it was really good
and distinct from campus area diners.

There was no a2b3 last week, instead I was at an IT Harvest security
summit organized by Richard Stiennon, in Novi. No bi bim bop.
Instead there were very good presentations on the current (sorry)
state of computer, systems, and network security, and what we have to
look forward to. Eye opening and sobering. I was on a blogger's
panel which was good fun (bloggers are routinely ready to talk
extemporaneously about anyone at all).

Hope to see you Thursday, let me know to expect you.

thanks

Ed

I meant to post this earlier, but ... What happened at lunch last week, Thursay, September 22? I got to Eastern Accents at 12:11 and didn't see anyone from the group there.

This coming Thursday I'm doing the weekly a2b3 at
BeWon on Plymouth Rd. at Green Rd in the shopping
center where Busch's is.? I only rarely get to that part
of town, but a reliable informant has it that there is
dol sot bi bim bop (though not on the menu).

Hope to see some of you there.? I know it's a hike
from downtown.? I'll be driving out there and will
have two seats available to take whoever needs
a ride from downtown or campus, let me know
ahead of time.

The following week Oct 6 it looks like I might be
at a conference in Novi - anyone know about good
Korean food in that part of metro Detroit?

thanks

Now I get it. :^)

The next stop on our bi bim bop tour is
University Cafe, on Church St near South U.
Please expect to be there a little before
noon if you can make it, it's not a huge place
but should have room for 4-8 of us.

Erik Hofer gets recommender credit this
time, he's back from a trip to Redmond
which kept him from last week's lunch.

I think (but I'm not sure) that I have everyone
who has expressed interest in the lunch
series on this yahoo list. If I am missing
you, it's not much point in responding, because
you won't get it. I'll circulate these details
to the usual round of invitees.

thanks!

Hi!- Yes, I try to comment on AU and AAiO when there's a relevant discussion.

We've actually just gone live with that local hosting program. Here's
a short blurb:

The Community High Web Outreach Team has launched a ArborSpeech
(), a new service for Ann Arbor-based
organizations. We're offering to build and host websites for free to
help groups that wouldn't otherwise have this resource.

ArborSpeech is powered by easy-to-learn & use software -- and someone
from the web team will be available for training and support.

With any luck I'll be able to stop in at the next a2b3 lunch to talk
more about this and some other web projects.

Matt Hampel

Lunch report -

Ted Hanss (ted@...), Jose Nazario (jose@...),
Alan Guiterrez (alan@...) and Matt Hampel
(mahatm@...) were there for the whole lunch,
and Patricia Anderson (pfa@...) stopped in
briefly.

Noted -

Vint Cerf is going to work at Google, and eBay is
looking at buying Skype.

There's a benefit for Katrina relief coming up at
the Northfield Roadhouse, ,
. Funds go to the Red Cross
and Patricia handed out posters.

Matt is working to release Arborspeech, a Community
High project to allow local communities a platform
to build web sites and blogs & the like. It's
not quite live yet but contact Matt if you want to
give it a spin. It's running a blog/cms system called
Textpattern that also powers the Community High School
site.

Alan got to talking about Katrina relief efforts he
is doing at thinknola.com, esp. how a wiki page
he set up was a part of the rallying point for the
bus rescue of Xavier students, and how people
are coordinating pet rescue right now there.

Jose noted that people's email in the affected area
is bouncing and wondered out loud how to build
temporary mail hubs that would catch that mail
before it bounced and perhaps have ways to
redirect it to people at their temporary addresses
or new permanent addresses.

I though the dol sot bi bim bop was good, but
my stomach reminded me later that it was
a bit greasier than some of the other places
we had visited.

Thanks to everyone for showing up, I'll be sure
to have a spot picked out for the next one -
thinking that might be another off-campus
place perhaps closer to North Campus this
time.

thanks

Seoul Korner is at the corner of Thompson and
William just west of State St. The nearest parking,
if you need parking, is at the Maynard St. garage.
There is also a University lot nearby though it
will probably be full at noon.

As always there is no particular agenda for
any of these meetings, though I do expect
from all of you that we'll get a fairly thorough
restaurant review written by the time we're done.
I'm not expecting anyone to wander up to us
and offer to buy us lunch.

At the moment, I'm working on a bunch of
unfunded and volunteer projects and towards
a good of landing at least one funded project
for September. The most important volunteer
effort has been , which
is a collection of neighborhood resources for
New Orleans neighborhoods. If you know
anyone working on post-hurricane relief
efforts who might like bi bim bop, please do
invite them along (I'd relocate to a po-boy
shop if I could for a week but really, is there
any good New Orleans food in Ann Arbor or
even anywhere nearby?)

Next week back towards campus:
we'll be at Seoul Korner at William
and Thompson.

a quick summary around the table -

We had an early visit from some sales
reps from a financial services firm who
offered to buy us lunch (about $10) for
a 5-7 minute pitch. For an 8 person
lunch that's about an $80 value. As
much as I'd like to get sponsorship for
the lunch series I'll bet we can get someone
more on-topic.

Attendees:

Diane Durance, ddurance@...
Jose Nazario, jose@...
Ted Hanss, ted@...
Edward Vielmetti, edward.vielmetti@...
Charles Yun, tcyun@...
Sam Shin, nycshim@...
Erik Hofer, ehofer@...
(am I missing anyone?)

The food:

Most of us had dol sot bi bim bop, where the
dish is served in a hot stone bowl. Lunch bi
bim bop was $6.95, dol sot $7.95. There is
also sushi on the menu. We got a pretty good
assortment of sides. The bi bim bop bowl was
good but it was distinctly different from the
campus standard - there were mushrooms in
it, for instance, but no shredded cucumbers.

Topics of discussion:

Hurricane Katrina. Diane lived in the French
Quarter for a couple of years. Lots of general
discussion, it was on everyone's mind. Erik
Hofer notes a School of Information project
to coordinate Katrina housing.

Gas prices are up to $3+ (I paid $3.19 yesterday).
Diane and Jose carpooled.

Asian groceries. Two Korean groceries, one
Manna on Broadway near Plymouth, the
other in the shopping center with the Wendy's
off Plymouth. Ted Hanss noted a Chinese
market on W. Liberty near Coleman's,
in back of Faz Hello Pizza, mostly unmarked
from the street.

Mobile phones. Those who were comparing
showed Treo 650 vs. Blackberry 7100.

Airport parking. The parking concession at
Metro is apparently re-running very old
(February) charges that were not done in the
first place. Watch out on your card statement
if you see unusual charges.

More Hurricane Katrina discussion.

This doesn't capture it all, but we had a good
time.

edward.vielmetti@...

Some people at the School of Information are working on a project to
aggregate and coordinate housing offers and needs for those affected
by the hurricane. Folks interested in participating should let me
know and I'll get you in touch with the right people.

Forwarded from Bob Frost:

A new email list for people wanting to help in SI's Katrina-help
efforts has been formed; it's joinable and the email address is
si.katrina@.... There also a Wiki:
.

We'll soon have a Web site, katrinahousing.net. We're working on it
now, volunteers welcome.

Sadly, I've got a Friday class schedule tomorrow, but I will
definitely be at the next.
