Breadpig made another visit to the SF SPCA to plan how we'll spend our latest donation and couldn't resist stopping in to see some puppies. Here's the one who stole our heart. His name is Sage and he arrived with some severe trauma to his right eye and had to lose it. But he doesn't show any sign of it affecting him and was a fountain of kisses. At the time of this post, he's still available for adoption. And if I weren't leaving the country for three months, I think I might be taking him, as my new dog, for a walk right now.
It was in the Mission. They looked delicious. What would've happened if they'd been paired with these breadpigs? We'll never know...
This plane went out last night from LAX. Filled with more reddit-funded aid supplies for Haiti. The total is now $112,846.41 raised by reddit (and growing). I'm running out of adjectives to describe how awesome this is.
Something like 12 hours after we started our reddit fundraiser, these were being loaded at LAX.
At the time of this posting, we're just shy of $80,000 raised! Stupendous!

The response from reddit has been nothing short of awesome. We blew away the original goal of $31,415 in five hours. And now we're not far away from our second goal of twice that ($62,830). All of the donations -- every penny -- are going toward helping Haitians thanks to a partnership with Direct Relief.
I'm going to run some ads on reddit for non-profits redditors and my twitter posse have suggested that will do a small bit to help this massive disaster. There's a great list by my pal Chris Sacca on his blog.
And for what little it's worth, I changed the reddit logo for Haiti today.
You're my favorite way to get between San Francisco and Palo Alto, beating even the hydrofoil.
I think I need a new hobby that involves drinking beer and watching the waves on another beautiful Maui day.
There's actually more than seven and the name itself is just a marketing ploy. Someone thought it was sexier for tourists than ʻOheʻo Gulch, but whatever you call them, they're quite lovely (and well situated for a swim).
