This is a super cute video of my girlfriend’s cats being nice to each other. It’s great that she captured it on video, or else I wouldn’t have believed her. That’s because for the past few months her younger cat Vespa (the grey one) has been terrorizing the older one Geisha (the calico). So seeing…

Nothing says Christmas like SPAM
Warning: the following images may cause excessive drolling or nausea depending on your feelings about Spam. A Hawaiian speciality, Spam Musubi is a staple of island cuisine, a combination of Asian and American influences mashed-up in typical Kama’aina-style. Really nothing says the holidays like pig parts on rice wrapped in nori.
Virtual shopping and unfulfilled desires
I just got back from "The Great Mall" in Milpitas, California. Nice mall — not GREAT — but nice. I was thinking as I wandered from store to store how little I really need or even want to buy nowadays. The goal of merchants is to convince the consumer that they "need" or "must have"…

It’s tree trimming time!
We decorated the Christmas tree in the Panganiban household tonight. We decided on a gold and red theme for these year, which is both festive and the colors of the 49ers, mom’s favorite football team.

The example the author talked about was a 3D projection of the TV show "M*A*S*H" which the user could participate in as…
Super new video on Net Neutrality from Save the Internet!
Here’s an awesome new video from the Save the Internet crew. Great message, great production values. Good job, guys!
“SL: the Official Guide” — good for n00bs, light on the tech
I finished reading Second Life: The Official Guide last night. I am perhaps not a good guage of how good the book is, since I’ve already drunk the Linden kool-aid. That said, I found it to be an entertaining and informative read from cover to cover. My only real complaint is that it’s not longer….
Where do undead avatars go?
With the recent passing of a Second Life resident, I have been wondering what happens to an avatar and its possessions when the person who owns it passes away? Apparently, according to the TOS, if you have a will that specifies who should be given possession of your avatar, Linden Labs honors that: Linden Lab…
