I was reading Boing-Boing the other day and they were babbling on about how the “Joy of Sex” was being released.  They had a link to the author, or at least his name linked, that took me to Amazon’s listing of the book instead of a bio.  I was just about to hit back when I noticed the “Customer’s who bought this item” section.  Half expecting sex-toys or some other bizarre thing you can buy on Amazon I was stunned to find a recommendation for a cooking book.

Yup… nothing goes better with sex then Italian cooking and Giada De Laurentiis.  Hmm… maybe its not that far off?  Speaking of awesome, her grandfather was the producer of David Lynch’s “Dune”.  One of the best/worst/best again movies of all time.

So… back to Awesomecon.  A few of my friends and I have been tossing around the idea of having a blog dedicated to the random crap we find on the web.  Why the hell not, everyone else has one.  There you go.  Awesomecon: because the web fucking rocks.
