Update, Mar. 13, 16:22. I just realized this can go in the Awful-Awesome series, which I wanted to be a thing for a while but then fizzled out. Thus, I have retitled this post and added an additional closing paragraph. Enjoy! I was in my twenties before I stumbled upon this term on Wikipedia. That…

Rainbow Immunity Soup Recipe
Some of the best recipes are the ones we invent ourselves. This is my new go-to flu season soup, and it’s the healthiest, heartiest meal ever created by human hands. To make it any healthier, I’d have to serve it with a side of GNC vitamins. The black bean rotini is available at Trader Joe’s….
Making Bacon – The Easiest Cure
Warning: this cure makes bacon that tastes better than any you have ever had, and it will ruin all store bought varieties for you forever. Curing bacon is not hard.

Marko Manriquez. With the intellect of an inventor, the heart of a philosopher, and the soul of an artist, he is a modern Van Gogh. And he has blessed mankind with Burritob0t. As part of his graduate thesis project at NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program (lol wut?), Manriquez built a 3D printer. That makes burritos. He…
