Our collective thanks go out to all of you.<br/><br/>Presently, we've got thousands of volunteer hours pledged and growing -- there's still time to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100317012511/http://feedaneed.org/">sign up here</a>. Erik and I have been keeping track of shoutouts <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100317012511/http://s3.amazonaws.com/feedaneed.org/index.html#buzz">here</a> -- thank you for generating so much attention and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100317012511/http://www.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=kn0thing">let me know</a> if we missed your blog entry, tweet, or FeedANeed tattoo picture.<br/><br/>Erik's been doing a tremendous job both on the publicity side as well as working with the many non-profits that have shown interest. To that end, he's created a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100317012511/https://leaptec.wufoo.com/forms/feedaneedorg-nonprofit-registration/">Database of Awesome: the non-profit edition</a>, which will help us to better match your non-profit with volunteers. The form is pretty straightforward and the data will not be sold, bartered, or used for evil in any way.<br/><br/>With all the recent attention FeedANeed has gotten, we're also extending voting until <span style="font-weight: bold;">December 31st @ 7pm Eastern</span>.

And that's where a redditor called <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100317012511/http://www.reddit.com/user/bballbackus/">bballbackus</a> took over.<br/><br/><div align="center"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20100317012511im_/http://s3.amazonaws.com/sp.reddit.com/alientoss.gif"/></div><br/>As expected, he was <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100317012511/http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/7jhv2/man_throws_reddit_alien_at_president_bush_gif/">heartily rewarded on reddit</a> for his hard work.

Our pal, Rocco, at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100317012511/http://store.yahoo.com/cgi-bin/clink?yhst-52519480814355+sqxQka+http://www.cvwine.com/baconbuzz">BaconFreak.com</a> sent us a case to try out before we named him <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100317012511/http://www.baconbuzz.com/">BaconBuzz's</a> chief bacon officer (CBO).<br/><br/><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100317012511/http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_DFMrmYvja2w/SUOQMsCZ3kI/AAAAAAAAB28/bg4zyunW5JA/s1600-h/IMG_1959.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20100317012511im_/http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_DFMrmYvja2w/SUOQMsCZ3kI/AAAAAAAAB28/bg4zyunW5JA/s200/IMG_1959.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279221735862427202" border="0" width="150"/></a>The Slowe's hosted the first (and sure to be recurring) team reddit bacon brunch. Among the sampling of bacon was a package of some spicy Cajun bacon. Fortunately, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100317012511/http://reddit.com/user/keysersosa">Dr. Slowe</a> kept much of his old lab equipment.<br/><br/>Served with a delightful assortment of eggs, potatoes, and biscuits (Bisquick, if you're reading this, I'd like to endorse you). <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100317012511/http://reddit.com/user/spez">Steve</a> couldn't join us, but we poured some bacon grease on the ground "for our homie."<br/><br/>Just kidding. We'd never waste good bacon grease.<br/><br/>But that wasn't all. As the final strips disappeared (see the before and after picture of bacon plate) we doled out the various packs of <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100317012511/http://www.cvwine.com/shop/baconjerky.html">bacon jerky</a>. Slightly winded, no one managed to try any until later, but one member of team reddit, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100317012511/http://reddit.com/user/raldi">raldi</a>, was particularly moved:<br/><blockquote>I don't endorse products unless they really impress me (not that I've really had the opportunity one way or the other until now), and I have to say, the bacon jerky was spectacular. It's not some dried-out chewy strip of leather -- it actually tastes like just-fried bacon, and yet, you can carry it around with you or hide some under your pillow. My only complaint is that it doesn't come in a glass vial labeled, "Emergency Bacon."<br/><br/>Needless to say, the raldi family will be finding bacon jerky in their stockings on Christmas morning.</blockquote>Forget "trust falls." This was a real team-building exercise. If you'd like to conduct one of your own with your co-workers, family, or even some bacon-loving strangers, consider ordering some <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100317012511/http://store.yahoo.com/cgi-bin/clink?yhst-52519480814355+sqxQka+http://www.cvwine.com/baconbuzz">bacon from BaconFreak</a>.

He's also a fan of a sport called "baseball" and language called Perl. Perl-ism aside, he also wanted a dollar sign to remind him that he's "a refugee from the collapsing financial industry." What's not to like?<br/><br/>Mike also has about 4x my karma, which makes things a bit awkward around here.

I'm hoping the next one to step up is my dream pack. Someone told me I look like some famous guy - Clark Gable? I hope that helps my cause. I'm not too selective in what I'm looking for - Lots of outdoor activities - bringing me to things my houndy nose can sniff - the great outdoors is what I love!<br/><br/>If I may say so myself, I'm the perfect companion. Not too large, not too small, not too talkative, but not too shy. I love all things sniffable, and long walks through the neighborhood would give us a chance to meet new people, see new things, and of course - sniff new sniffs. I'll sit when you ask me to, heck - I might even hand over a paw to shake or a belly to scritchy-scratch. Kisses? I got em for ya. Snuggles when it's cold outside? No problem, buddy.

I have traveled a long way to be here. I started my life in Ventura County, and for some reason I ended up at the local shelter. Luckily, I was rescued and endured a long car ride along with 5 other cats. Since I arrived at The San Francisco SPCA several months ago, all of my traveling companions have found homes. Don’t get me wrong, this room with a view is a big upgrade from a cage. It's nice and all, but it’s not a real home :(<br/><br/>I am a very sweet lady, and I promise that I will give you lots of love if you let me join your family. I'm not a picky cat, but I do have one request: to be your one and only feline...other cats aren't exactly my cup of tea.

I'm hoping the next one to step up is my dream pack. Someone told me I look like some famous guy - Clark Gable? I hope that helps my cause. I'm not too selective in what I'm looking for - Lots of outdoor activities - bringing me to things my houndy nose can sniff - the great outdoors is what I love!<br/><br/>If I may say so myself, I'm the perfect companion. Not too large, not too small, not too talkative, but not too shy. I love all things sniffable, and long walks through the neighborhood would give us a chance to meet new people, see new things, and of course - sniff new sniffs. I'll sit when you ask me to, heck - I might even hand over a paw to shake or a belly to scritchy-scratch. Kisses? I got em for ya. Snuggles when it's cold outside? No problem, buddy.

Her fur isn't as soft and luxurious as the Cockapoo next door, and she definitely doesn't seem like she wants to go for a daily swim like that big Yellow Lab across the way. Unlike the litter of puppies in the next hallway over, who've got that "new to the world" look about them that so many folks seem to fawn over, Sugar has character in her eyes, and a swagger in her walk that says "hey world – we're old friends. And p.s. – I'm already housebroken."<br/><br/>Sugar's got a pretty solid vocabulary – she'll sit, lay down, roll over and shake. But no, she doesn't know fetch, heel, or know how to get you the paper. And she's way too much of a lady to play tug-of-war. (She'd just let you win anyway – it's in her nature to make you happy). I guess the point is, Sugar isn't traffic stopping gorgeous, or so smart it knocks your socks off when she walks on her rear legs and recites the Greek alphabet. She loves leisurely walks, but she's just as happy to run circles in the back yard for a while, and flop down in the grass for a snooze. She's vivacious and outgoing, friendly and charismatic. She enters a room and you just know, you just feel - there's love there.</span></div><br/>Based on the positive feedback we've already gotten, we're aiming to do this every month at cities across the U.S. -- New York is first up in the New Year.
