The Consumerist has a post on making your own bacon. I did not know that a mortal can make such a delicious meat. I thought you had to be at least an angel to create something so good. I knew about the Life Cycle Of Bacon, but didn’t know humans are allowed [...]

What do Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and just about anyone in tech have in common besides using computers? They all read The Secret Diary of [Fake] Steve Jobs. Fake Steve has been a cult icon the tech community, especially bloggers within the tech community. There has been an ongoing search for [...]
