Eric Nakagawa and Kari Unebasami, co-founders of I Can Has Cheezburger were in Bay Area from Hawaii to meet with Lolcat fans this week, for HappyCat Happy Hour and LOLZoo at San Francisco Zoo, also made visit to Yahoo! Sunnyvale campus for LOL Talk too.

I have fixed some bugs on my ICHC Yahoo mobile widget, attended the talk, got an autographed ICHC book, participated LOLZoo at San Francisco Zoo, and now I am “capshun” ing for the animal pics.

Yes, I am officially a crazy cat lady.

See the LOLZoo pics at Flickr!

Yay! As a part of “Start Wearing Purple” campaign, Simone Legno has designed the purple Sandy T-shirt for Yahoo! (Yep. Just as most of other Y! tees, this is made by sweat-shop-free American apparel.)

As you can guess by my style, I am actually a fan of the designer and both my Mac and iPhone have Tokidoki wallpapers. (So some guys working for this campaign had tipped off to me about this T-shirt before the launch.)

Also in this campaign movie, he expresses his purple passion!

My big boss, Marco took to the keynote stage at CTIA at Moscone West today, to announce a few things including Blueprint update and (insert drum roll here) oneConnect iPhone application.

Yes, Yahoo’s iPhone app is finally out and available at iPhone App store now! Congrats iPhone app team! Go home and sleep!!!

Also, those who attended CTIA, hope you guys didn’t miss Roger Craig and Dana Stubblefield at Yahoo! booth.

Well, this is because Yahoo! Japan is owned by Softbank. This would never happen for the US market :-p

I wasn’t involved any of this Japanese version of Y! Mobile site, but one of my colleagues in Sunnyvale, who should be busy preparing for his wedding now, has been crazy busy for this. Congrats on the launch!

By the way, I haven’t gotten a new iPhone yet. I thought my new boss would give it to me but it didn’t happen. Thank you very much. 

Last time I made CuteOverload into Apple iPhone WebApp, “iCuteOverload“, so this time I made I Can Has Cheesburger? into Yahoo!Go mobile widget.

Try it on Yahoo! Go client, or open up an web browser in your mobile device and go to http://beta.m.yahoo.com, login, go to “widget” by clicking the icon looks like a tool on top and add “I Can Has Cheezburger?”. Works on iPhone at the URL too!

OK, I guess 3GSM is an old name, now it’s called Mobile World Congress.

Anyway, although it’s been pretty crazy and sad weeks for Yahoo, inc., my team kept me busy working on WAP products to be announced on MWC.

For this beta, despite we wanted virtually all WAP2 xhtml-devices, I barely managed the popular devices including Blackberry 87xx/88xx and Razr V3/6/9 excl. the original V3.

Although there’s more work to be done, at least the beta was launched during MWC. However, RIM had Blackberry network outage at that time…

Also, Blueprint dev kit is now available.

自分がコアメンバーの一員として制作したプロダクトが日本のニュースでも紹介されているなんてちょっと嬉しいかも。

Anyway, it’s pretty sweet that I can show what I’ve been working my ass off for, to my friends and family in Japan. I wish we could launch this in Japan, as well as Europe and Asia that we’re planning to launch soon. But since Y! Japan is operated separately from us, I dunno if they will…

Well anyway, I’ve tried oneSearch in Japanese (see the screenshot), although we are not supporting Japan. Well, the temperature is shown in fahrenheit in weather section, because well of course, this is a US product. -will I18N’d later… Pretty neat, right? Seriously Y! Japan should consider, since Apple will start selling iPhone there sooner or later. I guess.

I found more news by searching just now:

• 【2008 International CES】米Yahoo!、「Yahoo! Go 3.0」を発表。
• ヤフーのヤンCEO、CESで講演–「Yahoo Go 3.0」ベータなどを披露
• Yahoo!，モバイル機器向けアプリ開発プラットフォームや「Yahoo! Go 3.0」を発表
• Yahoo!、モバイルサービスを刷新
  

We finally launched Yahoo! Mobile Web beta (http://beta.m.yahoo.com) for limited high-end devices including iPhone, Nokia N-Series, also Windows Mobile incl. Moto Q, Palm Treo this morning.

Next project - launching for more devices, and int’l support for 3GSM. Nearly all engineers gave up Vegas… so can we go to Barcelona next month instead? Pretty please por favor?

canceled my flight for Vegas, working my @ss off here in Sunnyvale…The official launch for the new Y! Mobile web beta is tonight. I need some rest.

Oh well, here’s some Y! stuff for CES (Opening Video for Jerry’s Keynote):

I came back from Japan last week and finally I am recovered from jet lag.

Anyway, today, I will hear more details on gPhone announcement later, but I post this pink “yPhone” pic I took during my stay in Japan.

Unfortunatelly, this is not a gPhone-competitor or anything sexy that excites the US mobile users… actually, this is my friend’s phone by Softbank*, equipped with “Y!” button to launch Yahoo! Japan apps.

*Notes: Softbank Corp. owns Vodafone Japan, also its subsidaries includes Yahoo!
