Kari Unebasami and Eric Nakagawa, founders of icanhascheezburger.com, are in large part responsible for the massive popularity of the LOLcats meme-one of the biggest in Internet history.

We hear the story of how Hawaiian computer programmers Kari Unebasami and Eric Nakagawa turned a funny picture of a cat with an even funnier caption into the seed of a true Internet sensation-and profitable business venture.
