Breadpig Blog: Purveyor & Publisher of All Things Geek — SF SPCA

Behold, breadpig the cat! The first of his kind (as far as we know). We must apologize for some shoddy reporting. The cat the SF/SPCA renamed "Breadpig" is in fact male. Nonetheless, he shouldn't have any trouble finding a home. He is either the life of the party or the laziest one in the room. He's been called a player, but only because of his keen ability to love you and be loved by many, not to mention he can slay a toy mouse like its nobody's business! I couldn't think of a better namesake. What are you waiting for?...

The breadpig is quite pleased: email from the SF SPCAA 2 yr old, black and white cat entered the shelter today and was named "BreadPig". We have only done the physical exam so far, pictures and write ups to follow. The breadpig legion grew one feline stronger today. Alas, the folks at the SF SPCA won't be able to enjoy little BreadPig's company for too long, as she'll undoubtedly be adopted the instant someone lays eyes on her. More on this developing story to come...

Breadpig was invited to the opening of the SF SPCA's magnificent new facility, the Leanne B. Roberts Animal Care Center. Due to a sudden world-saving mission, Alexis & Liz visited the opening in breadpig's stead. As thrilling as it was to see breadpig on the wall, that excitement was easily matched by the sight of the "Barker Family Fund" nearby. We suspect they give exclusively to dog-related causes. For the record, breadpig has no biases toward either the grain or swine non-profit sectors. How did our breaded swine end up with such an honor? Well, that's thanks to you, breadpig...

What better way to celebrate a successful partnership than to eat cupcakes shaped like swine? (See, they're made of bread-ish cupcake matter and hence 'breadpigs'). The SF SPCA graciously invited breadpig over for a lunch and a tour. It turns out their headquarters is a short walk from the PigPen (our new BatCave-esque name for breadpig's HQ). After a few great months of project LOLmagnetz (all the profits are going to the SF SPCA) it was time to play with some puppies and snuggle with kittens. It wasn't all business, though. We toured their stunning new animal care facility, which...

Supreme breadpig developer, Chris Slowe, just pushed an updated version of LOLmagnetz.com online. A number of minor bugs were squashed and the UI improved significantly. Traffic continues to grow and LOLmagnetz kits continue to fly off the virtual shelves of ThinkGeek. The holidays are coming up and I know for a fact that there still exist magnetic surfaces sans LOLmangetz. We hoped to present LOLmagnetz at a recent LOL-artshow in SF, but that turned into a public art display persecuted by LOLhaters. More details to come. Alas, the breadpig also missed a YappyHour hosted by the SF SPCA. But there'll...
