Breadpig Blog: Purveyor & Publisher of All Things Geek — The Breadpig Legion

The breadpig is quite pleased: email from the SF SPCAA 2 yr old, black and white cat entered the shelter today and was named "BreadPig". We have only done the physical exam so far, pictures and write ups to follow. The breadpig legion grew one feline stronger today.

The breadpig is not afraid of interviews, I'll do my best to represent the breaded swine with honor and dignity.

The intrepid Mme. Helena R. Brown campaigned for a "breadpig day" at the Wired office on Thursday. The result was a bunch of us in breadpig shirts (David was, too, but had just cast invisibility when the picture was taken) and a lot of confused Wired employees. Thanks for making my day, everyone.
