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.”
After years of subjugation, these once-oppressed swine are fighting back.
A freed pig becomes leaner, meaner, hairier and hostile
Wouldn’t you be?
Well, supporters of the breadpig needn’t fear our future pig overlords. There will be a special place for us when the revolution comes; our families and livelihoods will be protected. All because we believed in the breadpig.
Oh yes, it was indeed a great week for breadpig. After the big launch of LOLmagnetz.com and their debut on ThinkGeek, the band went up to New York for some weekend shenanigans. I’ll have some more details in the coming week, but you’ll want to turn on your television-boxes to catch our upcoming reunion show. Yes, television-boxes.
Sure, you could have bought them directly from me, but for the same price, you can now pick up a LOLmagnetz kit at the greatest geek marketplace ever, ThinkGeek.com. The breadpig is proud to announce what will hopefully be a long and LOL-tastic relationship.
Go buy a kit, pimp your cubicle, and earn some Geek Points.
Yes, from the same pig that brought you YCstartups.com, here’s YCfounders.com. Easily jump between the two using the hulking button on the right column. Whereas YCstartups was a collection of dev blog feeds from YC startups, YCfounders is a collection of the founders’ personal blog feeds.
If you’re reading this and you’re a YC founder who wants his/her blog included, email me @breadpig.com
And if this wasn’t enough Y Combinator for you, I’m leading a panel @ SXSW called Inside Y Combinator - The YC Startups Speak — if it gets selected, that is. Your 5 stars would be much appreciated, as voting ends at midnight today. Breadpig knows you’ll make the right decision.
OK, this has been online for a little while now, but I never did get around to mentioning it. Rumor has it, there are over 100 Y Combinator startups — far too many for any mortal (other than breadpig) to keep track of. Enter YCstartups.com, which may look a lot like it’s built on reddit, but is actually a Slinkset site. It’s populated with all the RSS feeds from every YC dev blog I could track down. Happy stalking!
A redditor and breadpig supporter, alerted me to this. Apparently someone across the pond has bastardized breadpig and created a “moonpig” to front a greeting card website (read: not unHolidayCards). Here’s an ad they’re currently running on televisions across the UK.
If any of you have more information regarding this abomination, please let me know. Though, this does remind me that breadpig could use a theme song. Just something with significantly less suck than Moonpig.
It will be spreading to the other digital music services in the coming months like butter on toast, but one other service believed that our unique sound be available for download before Apple. They’re called PopCuts, and the best part is that by buying a song early, you stand to profit from its future sales. Breadpig is available for download there and we’ve maxed out the amount you as an early adopter get from promoting our music. That’s just how we roll.
Our sources tell us that it shouldn’t be much longer before our debut album is for sale on iTunes.
I wish it were all good news, but the breadpig band broke up last week. Jon and Brian didn’t like the artistic direction the band was going in. Basically, we got too big, too fast. They felt like we’d sold out — that we weren’t true to our music. It’s simply not true, but I’m doing what I can as a now solo bassist to keep this band, and our dreams, alive.
Breadpig loyalists, I trust you’ll stick with us through these trying times.
