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 —
Try here if the video doesn't play - 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."
holy shmoly, that room defender is totally mine!! that thing's the coolest freakin toy in the world. Awesomeness. Austin, a great blog entry - I'm glad to see that the paddles have been put to the buffalo and his heart-o-internet-interest is alive again!! Woohoo!! As for the 42 days of silence - I expect a Star Wars-esque epic adventure, my friend. I will accept no less.

One Upon A Time
In a Blog Far, Far, Away...
Don't worry, Parker.
Adventures of epic proportions await you at the the Buffalo Blog.
