Breadpig Blog: Purveyor & Publisher of All Things Geek — Announcements

After failing to appear at the LOLart show, breadpig needed to share the gift of LOL. A public art show seemed like just the thing. And there's no better location than the BART stop at 16th and Mission. Or so I thought. The hope was that commuters would admire the existing LOL, but also feel compelled to improve on it. Such is the power of magnetic LOLspeak. LOLs would rise, crime and suffering would plummet, and society would rejoice. This was not the case. Instead of returning every morning to document a new community-generated (as in, the Mission) LOLmasterpiece, I...

Thanks to our ally and Brawndo-maker, Pete, we had a fantastic set of three steel plates adorned with cat imagery. The plan was to bring it to the LOLartshow being hosted by I can has.

Then go buy the DVD box sets and catch up. The breadpig is partnering with the EFF and thus giving them all the profits of this...

Supreme breadpig developer, Chris Slowe, just pushed an updated version of LOLmagnetz.com online. A number of minor bugs were squashed and the UI improved significantly. Traffic continues to grow and LOLmagnetz kits continue to fly off the virtual shelves of ThinkGeek. The holidays are coming up and I know for a fact that there still exist magnetic surfaces sans LOLmangetz. We hoped to present LOLmagnetz at a recent LOL-artshow in SF, but that turned into a public art display persecuted by LOLhaters. More details to come. Alas, the breadpig also missed a YappyHour hosted by the SF SPCA. But there'll...
