I’ve been a complete slacker when it comes to blogging lately. I just checked, since I couldn’t remember, and my last post was way back in November, over three months ago.

Last night as I was on my way to a class I’m taking, I was rear-ended while waiting at an intersection. The light had just barely turned green and as soon as I had started moving, I was hit from behind by a Dodge Dakota. Apparently, the guy in the Dakota thought that I was moving a lot faster than I really was.
Luckily, no one was hurt. That’s the important thing.
It’s not returning to TV, but I’ll take just about any new Futurama I can get:
Bender’s Big Score - November 27, 2007
Well, I got tired of my blog design again… so here we are at version 5. (I think - it could be 4 or 7. I don’t count so well.)
The biggest change is a change in location. The blog is now at blog.joshbuhler.com. If you’re reading this, you found your way ok. I’ve setup some redirects, so hopefully folks should be able to find what they’re looking for.
Also, when migrating posts, it looks like I lost the comments for the last few posts. Sorry! Don’t worry - if you commented looking for a Pownce invite, I sent them all out, and I’m now out of invites.
Let me know what you think, and hopefully I can get the rest of the site online soon.
Saw this while grocery shopping:
Now… what would be in that magical tenderness enhancing solution? I looked, but I couldn’t seem to find the package’s definition of “solution”.
The invites are gone! I’ll let you know when I’ve got more.
7 more Pownce invites available for the taking.
Six of them will go to the first 6 people that leave a comment asking for one, the seventh to whomever can guess what I had for lunch today.
(Make sure to leave your email address in the EMAIL form field only - not in the body of the comment. Whatever address you leave in the form is where I’ll send the invite.)
Finally got around to playing with Burger King’s Simpsonizer, and here are the results:

“WHY ARE YOU HERE, SOLDIER?!!”
Last week I was able to talk my wife into letting me get a new toy - a Gretsch 5120. I’ve wanted a Gretsch ever since I first saw Brian Setzer rockin’ out on one, I’ve just never been able to afford one. But Gretsch introduced the 5120 last year, and even though it costs about $1000-2000 less than a lot of their other guitars, this thing still rocks. Solidly built, sounds great acoustic (for when the baby is asleep), and even better plugged in.
I’ve been looking for one with the orange stain finish for a while now, but all I could find were sunburst or black ones. But if you want to get that Cochran / Setzer / JustPlainAwesomeLooking vibe, you need the orange. Luckily, the day I finally got the permission to buy, I called Guitar Center who had just got one orange 5120 in about an hour before I called. I was on my way home with it an hour later.
Eventually, I’ll be swapping the pickups out for a set of TV Jones Classics, and I’ve found a guy that’ll make me a custom pickguard for pretty cheap, so pretty soon I’ll be rockin’ a “Josh Buhler Signature”.
As a result of this new toy, I now have an Ibanez Artcore AFS75T to sell. If you’re interested, let me know - just drop me a line using the contact form on my site. (I’ve decided I only need 3-4 guitars at most - we’ll see how long that lasts though.) I’ve sold the guitar.
(And if you came here really hoping for the guitar pr0n, here you go - they’re currently looking for contributions.

Well, it’s been nearly a month since my last post, but things have been incredibly busy around here. I’ve either been out of town, working in the yard, coding like crazy for an upcoming project, or taking care of our little girl. Either way, life has been busy, but good.
But, I have 4 Pownce invites available, so if you’d like them, leave a comment with the email address you’d like them sent to. First come, first served.
