SiSSYFiGHT 2000, an online game produced and released in 2000 by the online magazine, Word.com, is poised to return! There was absolutely nothing like it at the time, and it’s still relevant today.

From their Kickstarter page:

“In the mystical years of the late 90s, a little game called SiSSYFiGHT 2000 was born on the web. Hundreds of thousands of players fought as bratty little girls, teasing and tattling and licking their lollipops on the playground. An amazing community sprang up around the game, in which players became fan artists and storytellers, reporters and celebrities, criminals and vigilantes.

“There was something special about SiSSYFiGHT. It was one of the first multiplayer games with real-time chat in a browser. It was a social game with actual social gameplay, long before “social games” on Facebook existed. Its stylishly primitive visual look preceded the rise of big-pixel indie games by almost a decade.”

Please help SiSSYFiGHT 2000 to return!

After seeing yet another wandering dog in a news report I came online to see what was being done about missing pets in Oklahoma. Via a tweet, I found this subreddit that was created to help reunite owners with their pets. Please help spread the word. For easy cutting and pasting, here is the link:

Keep your spirits up, New York City loves you too.

Eldad Hagar came back to South Carolina to visit Shaggy, the dog he and others rescued four months ago. There’s a livestream of his visit, which is offline at the moment while he buys shears to give Shaggy a summer trim. Hopefully he will be back soon and we’ll get to watch.

Eldad is not in this screenshot, alas. This is Shaggy and her various toys, and Chance, one of the members of her new family. To keep up with the adventures of Shaggy, his adoptive mom has a Facebook page where she posts videos and pictures almost every day.

There are signs all around my block for a film shoot tomorrow (or was it Tuesday?) by Radical Media. The production is called “Little Giants,” but when I google it, nothing current comes up. My guess is it’s a commercial. Not as fun. Unless a great stunt is involved. I’ll try to remember and get some shots to let you all know what it ended up to be.

We are resting over on Perry Street. One of us went swimming, one of us did the Indie 500 in the Hallway, and one of us … had breakfast.
