    Breadpig featured on Change.org

    And yet it took me a month to write about it. Well, it’s been a busy month, but we wanted to thank the kind folks at Change.org – namely Nathaniel Whittemore – for this great review of Breadpig.

    Photos from Leogane / Final Reflections

    I’ve been back in the States for about two weeks now — sorry for the gap in posts (again!), but I’ve been busy decompressing, processing my experiences, and enjoying the comforts of the developed world that I’d previously taken for granted.

    New Shirt! Vegetarian (Because I Hate Vegetables)

    While it’s in a pig’s interests (especially one with bread wings) that you don’t eat meat, it really doesn’t mind – as long as you’re not eating it. Let the breadpig know you hate vegetables more by wearing our newest shirt.

  • What is Breadpig?

    Breadpig is an uncorporation that deals in delightful geeky wares. Rather than following the typical corporate directive of maximizing shareholder wealth, Breadpig donates all of its non-sustainable profits to organizations and individuals doing great things for the world. We spend the rest of our time discovering and promoting fascinating technology, hacks, and ideas from all over the world that inspire and impress us.

    The breadpig cannot be thwarted. Although many have tried to destroy our hero, the breadpig, like the mighty phoenix, has risen from the ashes and taken flight on wings of toast.
