Bacon.

Who doesn’t like bacon?

Except maybe Mr. Obama.

Well, in his blog post today, Michael Kwan suggests that two things that make everything better are bacon and cinnamon.

I don’t know that I agree with that. How can bacon make blueberries better? How could it make raspberries better? If bacon cannot, then it falls to cinnamon. I think cinnamon cannot.

However, chocolate can. So, bacon and chocolate are really the two things that can make everything better.

Of course, maybe we should ask an expert, like Mr. Baconpants.

According to his About page, his pairing of choice appears to be bacon and beer.

I don’t know about beer-soaked raspberries though. Bacon and beer may be equally substitutive. Certainly, you can cook a bacon-wrapped hot dog or cook a hot dog in beer (or even cook a bacon-wrapped hot dog in beer). So, it’s not a one or the other proposition.

Still, it wouldn’t be fair to consider bacon and beer as the answer to the question, since Mr. Baconpants’ about page as not an answer to the question. Instead, we are assuming here, which is a bad idea.

At any rate, I digress. I say bacon and chocolate. What say you?

Michael Kwan reached a milestone today: he posted the 1,500th post on his blog. (As you may recall, Michael was the first blogger to comment on my blog.)

If my count is right, this is my 1,331st post. Of course, 1337 would be elite, but 1331 has some nice symmetry to it.

Anyway, on that note, I figured I’d take a little Blog Blast from the Past and take a second look at some of my early blog posts. And, by “second look”, I mean that I’m going to link to those early posts and not add any additional commentary, because that would be too much like work.

First, I started out with the obligatory “Hello World!” post. And, if you thought I was kidding about not providing some insightful commentary on these older posts, well, you thought wrong because we’re moving on…

The next day I posted a picture of a tree in my backyard, calling the post “Look Upward!” Just yesterday, I took a stereographic image of that same tree but I can’t upload pictures here now and you all complained you don’t have 3D glasses anyway, so it’s pretty much a moot point either way.

The same day–yes, you got a bonus of two posts in one day on my second day of blogging–two for two, I suppose–I posted about “Blogging for Money“. And you thought I was going to add something insightful about this post, didn’t you? Again, you thought wrong.

The next day, two posts again. Not three. Oh well. And why am I commenting on that? Anyway, back then the iPhone was newish, and I had a post on the iPhone Powder that was on sale on eBay. I also posted an old fish story.

I skipped the next day of posting and didn’t post again until the 18th, when I posted about Babylon 5.

That was followed the next day by a post on John Chow being right about one thing in particular…

The next day I wrote about blog promotions.

The following day, I posted my “Look Downward!” photo of the same tree mentioned above, only at the ground level. I also have a stereographic picture of that I took a couple or more weeks ago. But, again, moot point.

I could go on, but you’re bored and I’m hungry and lunch is here, so we all know what that means.

But, it’s May.

So, why is it still raining?

And what do May showers bring? Do they bring June flowers?

And what do June showers bring? July flowers? Are fireworks considered July’s flowers? If so, where are the flowers for the rest of the month?

What happens when it rains in winter? We don’t usually get flowers the next month because of it.

And what were May Beetles, a.k.a June Bugs, doing out in April? Does that make them April Beetles?

And, do you think that some people believe the Earth is hollow because that’s the way globes are made?

Think about it… You’re supposed to go to school to learn stuff. You see a globe. The teacher tells you it is a representation of the Earth. You believe your teacher because, well, you’re supposed to believe your teacher. You discover the globe is hollow. You remember the teacher said the globe is what the Earth is like. Therefore, the Earth is hollow, right?

We have to be careful what we teach kids.

It results in posts like this.
