Attention All Cylons: Breadpig Has A New Ally Against You - The Electronic Frontier Foundation

Posted by admin on

As is the case with all breadpig projects, all the profits go to a worthy charity. Ideally, the breadpig can find a non-profit with objectives related to the project (e.g., LOLmagnetz profits going to the SF SPCA). About a month ago, we launched a new shirt: Spoiler Alert. If you don't watch Battlestar Galactica, its coolness will be lost on you, but if you like preserving your online freedom, stick around for another sentence. 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...

Joel Spolsky Shows The Breadpig Band Some Love

Posted by admin on

And it was on the stackoverflow podcast of all places! Give the episode a listen and if you're feeling lazy, skip ahead to around 13minutes in. Then be sure to check out Stackoverflow if you consider yourself any kind of developer. Even I can appreciate its coolness. Steve and I would love to be on the podcast, Joel (and Jeff). The breadpig is not afraid of interviews, I'll do my best to represent the breaded swine with honor and dignity.

The Breadpig Renaissance (How Many Times Can The Breadpig Be Reborn, Anyway?)

Posted by admin on

After the Internet Superstar appearance, the breadpig band had a nice renaissance. To that point, breadpig salutes all of the new converts and thanks you for all the shirt orders. Spintown showed some love, but I should correct a comment he made: This video was made by one of the creators of Reddit.com. I think it's the only band I'm talented enough to play with. You think it just anybody has the talent to play in breadpig? You've got another thing coming. Between the three of us in the band, we've got a combined 39 years of musical education at...

Breadpig Hath A Nemesis, Its Name Is Moonpig

Posted by admin on

This turned up in the breadpig snail mailbox recently. I wasn't going to publicize it and let the terrorists win, but Chris (maker of LOLmagnetz.com) persuaded me otherwise. It seemed innocuous enough, except for those threatening ellipses in the turn address field... And the "supposedly" (wtf?). Inside was a greeting card. I didn't care for the way that ominous black cat and LOLcaption were staring at me. Ah-ha! It's Moonpig! Breadpig's arch nemesis. If you're reading this, Moonpig (and I know you are, for your all-seeing disembodied-head-in-space-helmet/ship is paying close attention to our hero) consider your challenge accepted. The breadpig...

Breadpig Officially An Internet Superstar

Posted by admin on

Breadpig was invited to bring some LOLmagnetz and a shirt to and interview on Internet Superstar, hosted by Martin Sargent. +10 points if you noticed the shirt I was furtively showing off Both breadpig and the SF-SPCA (our partners in LOL) got some nice plugs and Martin was a gentleman and a scholar. I think we might see each other again over drinks and with candlelight. And to top it off, LOLmagnetz got a nice shoutout on Gigababy's Buffet. No, we at breadpig hadn't heard of it either, but that's OK. That sounds like a very big baby, which implies...
