Breadpig Blog: Purveyor & Publisher of All Things Geek

Next, you'll find them in those SkyMall catalogs no one reads on planes. But until then, we're more than pleased with appearing on page 26 of the latest issue of ThinkGeek's catalog. The magnetz have been selling well and fridges all over the country are being littered with LOLspeak. Chris, maker of LOLmagnetz.com donated a spare copy of the catalog, which now sits as a sacred text on my desk. I, for one, love the idea that such a geeky website still uses an old-school paper catalog for showing off wares. After all, it's much easier to read in the...

Despite the economic crisis unfolding (or perhaps as a result of it) people continue to gobble up kits of LOLmagnetz as if they were... well, cheeseburgers. Vegans love them. I'm not sure what Plurk is (some kind of horizontal Twitter?), but SecondArne plurked them. This kit is now even accredited apartment therapy. It was reblogged on BuzzTownCenter (I'm not sure who lives in BuzzTown, but they appear to have a gigantic robot resident) and a few dozen folks Kaboodled it, too. Someone on a blog called "Bad Call" also wrote about them, but I think he meant to call his...

We taped this last week while we were in New York, along with another few gigs we did around the city. Yes, the band is back together. I was also going to mention a couple more lovely shoutouts to LOLmagnetz on Gearfuse and Outblush (didn't see that one coming), but this is just too big to pass up. Get your DVRs ready if you've got somewhere else to be this Saturday night,...

Yet another LOLmagnetz review came my way last night, this time from technabob. But what really needs to be brought to your attention is this article discovered by a devoted member of the breadpig army: Gloucester bristles as feral porkers run amok. Not only is that one of the best headlines ever, it's an article about roughly one hundred feral swine that are threatening our very existence. Don't take these porcine warriors seriously? Lawrence Herrighty of the state Division of Fish and Wildlife does. "They are a threat to wildlife, agriculture and landowners," Herrighty said. "They have to be eradicated."...
