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

Not bad for a $200 laptop covered in marker, eh? Update: We originally had a link to the eBay listing here, but it expired after 90days, so we took the link down. It will always be in our thoughts. Thanks again to all of you who helped with your signatures and support.

I had this XO Laptop sitting around that I got from the Give One, Get One campaign of last year. My hands are too ogreish to use such a child-sized laptop, so I thought there must be a better use for it. I've brought it with me to ROFLCon and asked all of my fellow speakers to autograph this lovely geek toy. I'll be auctioning it on eBay in another week or so and all the proceeds will go right back to OLPC.

Lots of folks kept asking me for this footage, so I cobbled together this little bit last night (or this morning, depending on how you look at it). It looks like the premier will be at ROFLCon this April 25th/26th. If you can't make it, it'll also be simultaneously launched on the Intarwebz, so you can cram a bunch of your friends around the computer and pretend you're all watching in a theater -- with a very small screen. Hopefully this will tide you over: More police crackdowns and rock to come!

We've very quietly been adding up the views on our first breadpig video (live in DC) and selling a hearty dose of merch in the process. Now we're going to take this momentum and perform our first show out west. We're going to be playing live at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco this Saturday, April 5th at 3pm. We should have a live-feed up at Justin.tv if you can't make it, but if you're in the Bay Area, you really have absolutely no excuse. When you show up, just look for the crowd of awestruck tourists rocking out like it's...
