Steve Barnes over at the Times Union's Table Hopping Blog made me aware of a certain web service in his recent post entitled, "Add a Side of Bacon to Any Website." It was Bacolicio.us which is a site that allows you to baconify (if I may coin a phrase) any other website by simply typing in the full url after the site name. Pretty cool if you ask me, I think I saw this done to Reddit a while ago but didn't take the time to find out how it was done. So thanks Steve! I also went ahead and baconified Sarah Palin's Bio on her Governor of Alaska site, it seemed fitting for some reason. I just feel like she would hate having a big ol' piece of pork on her picture and this is strangely satisfying.
Incidentally, this is my 100th post! Oh how miserably fast the time goes, it really seems like only yesterday when I decided to copy my friend K8 over at Of Monkeys and Cupcakes and start a food oriented blog. I guess my blog has kind of evolved a little to include a few less recipes/reviews, and a little more of my stupid sense of humor and random gibberish. So, I decided to do a little fishing for ideas here. I think I have a pleasant little number of regular readers/commenters (I'm looking at you Albany Jane, Phairhead, metalchick666, marianne, GenkiDo, Elizabeth, llcwine, and any others I can't think of right now) and I just wanted to ask you what you think. Stop the whole bacon thing (it is kind of a tired internet meme now)? More Upstate New York recipes/restaurant/product reviews? Anything else you would like to see? I don't know why, but it kind of makes me happy to entertain people in some infinitesimal way with my blog and I wanted to consult the vox populi on how to make it better. It is a good way for me to bring some creativity and lightheartedness into my otherwise very serious life. I kind of feel sometimes like I stopped being the quirky art school dropout guy, and went through a Darth Vaderesque transformation into some kind of jackbooted, stick up the ass, servant of the dark side. This blog keeps me centered in a way. Anyways, enough babbling self analysis for the day, thank you for the thought you may or may not put into doing me this favor. I trust everyone will have a pleasant weekend!
BTW, if you are looking at my sidebar and saying, "100 posts? I only see 98!" This is because there have been two posts that were up which I decided to delete for various reasons. I included them in the number, as this is really, technically, my 100th post.
ReplyDeleteI for one love your blog....please keep on blogging.
ReplyDeleteHappy 100th! Bacon and upstate food reviews--keep 'em coming!
ReplyDeleteHappy 100! Man, I got to get crackin. Not really near 100 yet.
ReplyDeleteSo far the things that interest you enough to write about interest me enough to read about. So I'd say just keep on keepin' on.
ReplyDeleteWell, you really can never go wrong with bacon and it will never be out of style. Especially since your concoctions are so out of the ordinary. But I also like your reviews of local places as they are the ones that I would seek out if ever I were to travel. I think you should trust your instincts, they seem pretty spot on to me so far!
ReplyDeleteMr. Dave, I believe you are incapable of non-bacon blogging. Where else would I get my daily dose of bacon-wrapped Elves?
ReplyDeleteAnd if you couldn't tell - I freakin love gibberish.
Mmmm....bacon.
ReplyDeleteOne of the current contestants on "Top Chef" seems to have a wardrobe full of shirts declaring his love of bacon.
I enjoy reading your recipes the most, I think, and what your friends think of them. After that, stories! That's what it's all about, stories.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the 100th blog post! and Giblet looks great!
Thanks for the shout out : ) More product reviews and receipes. And keep the bacon coming. Yr blog is awesome. And believe I only use that adjective sparingly
ReplyDeleteI happen to very much like your sense of humor Dave. I don't think it's stupid at all.
