In an effort to pair bacon with every known food to man, I concocted a bacon beef hot dog combo that is set to correlate itself with higher rates of heart attacks as well as increased happiness by those that indulge in the bacony-beefy-tastiness.

Ingredients are as follows

• Oscar Mayer (or similar) All Beef Hot Dog
• Bun (white or wheat)
• Bacon strips (2 per dog)
• Spicy Honey Mustard
• Large, uncloggable arteries

Notice the lack of ketchup—in full Chicago dog style, this hottie has no ketchup. The sodium rich red-saucy sauce has been replaced by sodium-saturated bacon. The trade off is worth it.

Directions

• After a hearty breakfast including a waffle, bacon and eggs, save a few slices of bacon for the future—place them in the fridge—nothing beats a good snack of leftover bacon even if you don’t make bacon hot dogs.
• Cook up your dogs—preferably on the grill. Boiling or microwave will suffice as well
• Scorch that bun if you’re grilling out, nothin’ beats a nicely toasted bun. Don’t forget to coat the inside (and outside if you’re so inclined) with butter. No margarine ladies. Margarine is bad for you anyways. Takes less than 1min on a hot grill
• Take your bacon slices out of the fridge and zap em in the microwave until the sizzle like when they were first panned up
• Place one slice of bacon on each side of the dog
• Lay down the line—a line of mustard, that is.
• Enjoy!

A picture for your eyes only—notice the carrots—those are a good side for those that are trying to stay healthy.

I took a trip up to the Twin Cities for a Target interview this past Friday. That silver thing is a wing. Also, planes rule.

Somewhere between Madison and Minneapolis.

With school starting relatively soon, and the GRE on the all-too-near horizon, I’ve been studying. Jealous? On that note, here’s a select few of my current work-in-progress goals (and yes, there are more, you have no idea).

Ongoing Goal of the Day: 100 new GRE vocab words, plus review of the previous days.

Side Goal of the Week: Research one new beer a day after studying vocab, then proceedingly buy-and-try [with friends] a sixpack/pitcher/bottle of one of the beers at the end of the week (aka, Friday).

Goal of the Month: Figure out what schools I will apply to for graduate studies.

Goal of the Year: Figure out 100 new (plausible and implausible) business ideas.

Goal of this Fall: Find two awesome classes to take Spring semester, neither of which have to do with the hard sciences, Math, Economics or ISyE.

In an effort to test my statistical know-how, and to publicize the heightened viewership here at pyktech, I have constructed this detailed graph of unique visitors per month (during 2006)

My next post will outline other important statistical guides, such as what growth measurement models work the best with modeling website traffic—moving average, exponetial, seasonal etc… The predictor used on above plot is a, “Cingular, Raising The Bar,” model-type, showing obvious growth into the month of August, as noted by the arrow bursting through the top of the graph.

In other news, I put up a new design. WordPress rocks for ease-of-use, no lie.

Are these bricks supposed to be comfortable? They are an interesting idea and look comfortable, but I mean, c’mon, cork? How sweet would it be if these were pillows instead. Mini pillows that you could stack like Legos. Pillow blocks would definitely be better than a Birkenstock-esque floor-wall-“sofa.” Granted, I understand the “design” concept… (except for the one in the bathtub, but maybe someone else can explain that) but regardless. The “sofa” brick is just not quite sofa-enough.

*cough* Perhaps a free sample brick would change my mind.

Recently posted some camping pictures in the gallery involving the Rochester crowd. Check them out—

Check it. Yes, those are Bigg3ie’s legs.
In addition I will be posting some sweet stuff in the coming week. New pictures from the previous semester and books I have finished/will be finishing are first up. You (yes you) might be in one of them. Ridiculous.
Other bloggable things to look forward to—

• UW Madison study places
• Premiere State Street and surrounding area restaurants
• Pictures of food that I enjoy eating

Until then, go outside.
