Jacob Schuhle Lewis is the mind behind this fabulous project. We'd been kicking ideas around for a little while, but he'd always been the one with the original idea and the ambition for writing & illustrating a children's book explaining WikiLeaks. Take a look at WikiLeeks.co.uk!
And if his artwork looks familiar, that's because he's designed a pair of fabulous breadpig posters for us. Perhaps you've seen the awesome Animal Farm poster he made for us?
Stunning. Found on reddit.
I might have to just bookmark this for any time I start feeling like I'm having a 'tough' day.
We had a huge launch day yesterday. I couldn't be more pleased with it. Thanks to all of you for your feedback (and usage, oh my!) of hipmunk.com/hotels.
And I'd love to hear what you think of the new chipmunk -- I had a lot of help from @frmbriyawthxoxo and I've got something special coming soon to give you all some insight into my 'artistic process.'
This is rather late, but I only just now remembered to turn on secure browsing in facebook. It'll keep you from getting firesheeped on an open wireless network, for instance. Find it here under Account Security.
Loved it. Masterfully done. Found on /r/videos.
Thanks again for the great questions, Steve, including this gem:
Question #20 And now, for the hard hitting question. How do you reconcile your role in Breadpig as "swine defender" with reddit's great love of bacon?
Well, I don't actually eat much meat these days, which is unrelated to my increased involvement with breadpig. The underdog (underpig?) status of breadpig always appealed to me -- he really doesn't look like he's prepared to be the world's hero. Everyone always tells me how tasty he looks, like a flying ready-to-eat sandwich; I hope redditors can fight the urge.
And we're hosting a T-Rex-sized launch party in New York City to benefit our non-profit partners, DonorsChoose (Breadpig donates all its non-sustainable profits from this book). You'll have the chance to meet Zach Weiner, enjoy some drinks while doing it, and bid on some once-in-a-lifetime auctions (also for charity). Get excited.
Date to be determined, we just wanted to get you excited. Here's the Eventbrite!
In the meantime, why don't you ask Mr. Weiner a book-related question (or anything) here on I Love Charts, where he's rocking tonight!
