May Breadline Winner #2, data centers, utility closets...

If you haven't already heard, a lad going by the name of Nathan won the second book of the May Breadline, and if you also haven't heard, it is now July. Explanation: Recently technology giant Apple opened a 500,000 square foot data center in Maiden, North Carolina, second only in computing power to Breadline Books' very own server base, located in nearby Chapel Hill in a utility closet in a freshman dormitory at UNC. Regular campus closings left Breadline Books electricity-less and with nowhere to run except straight into the wrong side of the bolt-locked cold wooden door. Dark and stuffy.

All summer.

But gratefully a new group of kids have re-inhabited the halls for yet another year. Well, I think so. No one has unlocked the door. At least there's power now.

Moving on to our second May Breadline Books winner, Nathan... or should I say Peter Parker? Pete, you're not fooling anyone with that Spider-Man Noir: Eyes Without a Face book. You might as well have worn the mask. Come on, hiding your face with a book written about yourself about how you always must hide your face? Who does that?




Anyway, if you're still reading this after all of that, you might be interested in knowing that the Breadline is open again. If you don't know how to get in the breadline, click here.
