Virtual Sun Worlds

Sun has a virtual world I'd like to try for work meetings and such. It looks a lot like Second Life, but I heard the sound quality is very good. But don't a lot of these folks look like they're wearing Star Trek uniforms?

Pictures from Our Flyball Tournament

We just held our 5th annual Bay Racers flyball tournament. We had a new photographer this year, he had never done flyball before. But check out his pictures!

Kami is a Grand Champion!

Kami earned her Flyball Grand Champion (FGDCh-30) title at the Bay Racers tournament in Hayward on Saturday!

Good job for my old girl!
