He's Mr. Sandwich

Take 5 parts cute, 2 parts hellion, 3 parts kitten, and mix together all night long, non-stop and you will have yourself a perfect Mr. Sandwich.

Who, or what, or how is Mr. Sandwich? He's a 3-month old kitten that Meghan and I adopted two weeks ago and he is pictured above. His name is Mr. Sandwich. Not Reynold or Puss or even Tom. His first name is Mr. and his last name is Sandwich, and I laugh every time I hear or say his name. He's the awesomest. He's the super-cutest kitten in the whole wide world. He's also the largest hell-raiser this side of rockies. Some of his favorite activities include sleeping all day under the bed and staying up all night long to play rock-em-sock-em robots with our noses and feet. I think we've gotten a grand total of 14 hours of sleep in the last two weeks. But you can't stay mad at him, because he's so darn adorable. He's not even four pounds yet, and he's a super-snuggler, and likes to be flipped upside-down and have his belly rubbed. I could go on, but I don't want to say anything too embarrassing just yet.

I'll post more pictures when I can, but he's not one to sit still for more than 6 milliseconds, so most of my shots look like blurry photos of Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster. But, maybe once I get good at photographing Mr. Sandwich, I'll be ready to take on the hunt for Sasquatch.

I took some time off from blogging for a little bit because there was a lot going on. But, I'm back now. And, as I can see from my teeming, screaming, fans, my presence was greatly missed (Thanks Parker and Nate for getting me back on the wagon). But I missed the ole Buffalo Blog, so it's time to rekindle the magic. I have a lot to update you on, but I figure, why cram it all into this post, when I can create lots and lots of posts to tell you all about my adventures over the last few weeks. But I will say, that there have been some exciting things on the internets recently. Here are three of them:

• Human Space Invaders —

• Wikipedia Celebrates 750 Years Of American Independence — The Onion takes a dig at Wikipedia by running a fabulous story. Here's a taste of the genius:

  The commemorative page is one of the most detailed on the site, rivaling entries for Firefly and the Treaty Of Algeron for sheer length. Subheadings include "Origins Of Colonial Discontent," "Some Famous Guys In Wigs And Three-Cornered Hats," and "Christmastime In Gettysburg." It also features detailed maps of the original colonies—including Narnia, the central ice deserts, and Westeros—as well as profiles of famous American historical figures such as Benjamin Franklin, Special Agent Jack Bauer, and Samuel Adams who is also a defensive tackle for the Cincinnati Bengals.

• Room Defender debuts on Ubergizmo — For about $50, you can have the ultimate in cool-but-worthless geek security: A 24-round sentry robot with four attack modes to guard your stuff. Sure it only fires foam disks, but damn if it isn't the coolest toy I've seen in ages.

So, that's the news from me. Stay tuned for some details on what took place during "Buffalo's 42-Days of Silence."
