Links I’m Likin’
Ever have data loss? I ran Disk Doctor once, thinking I’d be cleaning up my goofy hard drive. Well, it works..and – poof! – everything on my computer disappeared, never to be seen again. Sign up for Crashplan and back up your data off your computer. (Thanks Michael!)
Speaking of which – you might want to back up your Flickr or Facebook accounts? Backify will take care of that for you.

Tired of paying insane prices for cool eyewear in France? Thanks to Jimmy Fairly, you can get vintage-style glasses at a reasonable price, delivered, with a free trial. (And there’s a showroom in Paris, too.) You can also designate a pair to be donated to people in need. (Thanks Heather!)
(In the US, Warby Parker has retro glasses at similar prices as well.)
Are you a friend of Paris Pastry on Facebook yet?
Making a push for local produce in Paris and France, La Ruche Qui Dit Oui bridges the gap between farmers and shoppers. (Thanks Phyllis!)
I’m enjoying leafing through the stunningly beautiful book, forty years of Menus for Chez Panisse by Patricia Curtain.
Want to call someone abroad, but not sure what time it is? I use the Meeting planner to coordinate times across the world, so I don’t call someone at 3am instead of 3pm.
