Why the Buffalo News SucksI will keep this short and just give you two reasons.
The NYTimes has been giving Zilly Cakes more coverage for her Obama/Lincoln cupcake portrait than the Buffalo News.
And then I saw this on the Buffalo News. This is part of a 2008 retrospective of best cartoons.
Buffalo Wings? That isn't even a clever play on words. Are you trying to say that Tim Russert's virtue is somehow related to bar food? It doesn't make any sense!
What is wrong with you?

yeah, that's pretty bad. unfortunate, too. Tim Russert was one of my favorites. I watched Meet the Press every Sunday morning for almost 10 years until he died, it's just not the same. I was totally devastated when he died. I found out while I was on lunch break and came back to work a little drunk and crying.

Ah... wiki'ed him and this leapt out.
(Russert's) "history of coronary artery disease led to a myocardial infarction with the immediate cause being an occlusive coronary thrombus in the left anterior descending artery resulting from a ruptured cholesterol plaque"
Isn't the wings sauce 3/5ths butter?

Who is this Russert? He looks like someone who might come to take you to hell.

Make My Head GrowI have a new favorite game.
It is called Make My Head Grow. At a Nordic gaming festival game programmer extraordinaire, 2dboy, was given 48 hours to conceive, design, and program a game. And thus Make My Head Grow was born.
The game is simple. You are in a box and your opponent is in another box. You have to push his box off the ledge by pushing your own box against his. But you don't foolishly do it with your pathetically small arms. No, you have to do it by slamming your head against your own box. To get even more momentum you can slam your head into the ground to make it swell to even greater inertia filled sizes.
Take a look at the gameplay
It is simple, and enjoyable. But the real action is when you push your opponent off the ledge. You are then treated to the finest tune ever written.
super awesome

Zilly CakesThe property management company who ran my last apartment has been renovating a house on the corner of elmwood and lafayette for a few years now, never quite finishing it seems.
Since the end of summer there has been a sign, saying that Zilly Cakes was coming soon. I thought that it might be some chain bakery I had never heard of. Every time I would walk by it I would think to go to the listed website, but forget by the time I got back home. Then I just happen to see an article on them for making an Obama cupcake portrait.
So I go to their website and it turns out Zilly Cakes is owned and ran by Zilly Rosen in our own Buffalo. She has had the garage portion of the building rezoned so she can have a bakery and shop. Check out some of her work
She won a gingerbread house contest in 2007 with this
When she does open she will make cakes to order, teach classes, and sell baked yummy goodness. From the site:
Yum. Yum.

Our retail line includes a fresh cupcake bar, icing shots, naked cakes (rated G of course) and cupcake flights in our special tasting booth that last 1 hour and that you can book in advance. In addition to cupcakes individually or by the dozen, we'll have a small but incredibly artistic and delicious line of decorated cookies, miniature cakes, and little stacked cakes for sale
Yum. Yum.

PS - I'm glad they're doing something constructive with the building, definitely. Great reuse. It used to just be a place to buy crappy shake.

No kidding. I wonder if she made the chocolate and raspberry mini-birthday cake I bought from Dolci. If she did, oooooooh.
Next time I'm in NYC I definitely am going to one of the cupcake joints.
Thanks for the heads up James!

She's a friend. Her operation springs out of Dolci at the moment. The whole staff is doing a cupcake installation at the Smithsonian of that portrait.
