A year ago today a group of new media folk hanging out in the hallway of Podcamp Pittsburgh 2 coined a phrase to describe email you want, but not right now. That would be Bacn. Since it’s birth, Bacn became one of the top buzz words for 2007 and showed the world how fast, with the power of the internet, a trend not only is created but spreads. Within hours a website was created, flickr was buzzing and finally Wikipedia got in the act.

What I love about Podcamp Pittsburgh is that there is always buffer space for an impromptu session. Sunday was the day this happened for the first ever group discussion of Bacn (which I also was fortunate to be a part of). Here is a quick video I took during the session: Makin Bacn

That’s some hot badass biker chick I saw while driving in Cranberry on my way to the story below. She would kick your ass. Did like the tramp stamp though

I don’t know what this guy’s deal was but if I was working behind the counter and someone talked to me like he did, barking orders as if the kid was your bitch, you’d have to pry him off the flat grill. I stopped in for my first ever visit to DiBella’s Old Fashioned Submarine Shop on 228. Very clean and friendly place plus they made me a kickass sub which will probably stop me from going to Jersey Mike’s now.

As soon as I walk in all I can hear is this guy. He’s telling the kid how to make the sub to his specifications and apparently he’s catching a flight to the west coast and needs to take this with him. He tells the kid exactly how it’s to be packaged, how much ice to use, yadda yadda yadda. I hear a lot of  “*UGH* not like that!” and “you’re doing it wrong” coming from him.

This is why I will never miss working any form of retail again. People are assholes.
