After the runaway success of the previous gastronomic experiment, Pickledog, it was time for us to step it up a notch. We were ready for a long-awaited challenge: the Taco Dog.

“Taco Dog” is the moniker of our pickup/delivery bike here at the Boston office, and it was high time we created some food in its glorious name. Over an evening at the nearby Feel Good Cave, Doug McDermott and I dreamed up the exact manner of execution and drew up some plans. Read on for the delicious results.

This came my way last week, and kinda blew my mind. On his eponymous site, Don Hodges has looked into some of the most famous programming bugs in early gaming history – the Donkey Kong kill screen, Pac Man’s level 256 split screen, Dig Dug’s instant-death screen, and others. Although the solutions are very technical (we’re talking assembly code here), the level of detail and understanding of the algorithms is what really impressed me.

bad day on the internets
