Lots of great stuff this month! Let’s take a moment to smell the ashes and look back over some of our favorites and yours from the sultry siren of September.
We cover a LOT of topics here at GUO. According to everything I’ve read about blogging, this is known as ‘doing it wrong’. I’m not exactly sure what that means, but I’m guessing it has something to do with why writing the Digest is such a pain. Anywho, I’m gonna try to have a go at making this wrap up a little easier to write because the Mrs. won’t let me kill this feature. We’re going to start here with this. Just a quick chat about GUO and whatever the heck else I feel like. Ya know, similar to the State of the Blog and State of the Homestead Addresses I’ve done.
Well, that didn’t work out too well. I just wrote a whole bunch of babble about why we cover the games we do and then decided to snip it for a whole ‘nother blog article. Bah! Whatever. The nine of you who check out the digest are used to me rambling anyway 
Let’s see… How ‘bout the top five stories by page view from last month!

- Carbon Nanotubes as the Next Electric Wire : Because I don’t already have enough upgrading to do…
Cool Stuff
- Censored iPhone Case
- A $750 Rabbit Fur iPad Case : I REALLY expected this story to do better. I mean, it’s $750, made of animal fur, and a generator for static electricity. This is one of the dumbest accessories ever.

- My First Cthulhu
- Dragon Ball Projector
- Store Your Data in a Wine Cask

…And The Rest
- Death, Insanity and OnLive Technical Support : I had a field day writing this one! This started out as just an ordinary post telling you what great tech support OnLive has. Somehow it ended up as one of those Jumping the Pig tales full of self mockery. Backwards says “Hi”.
- Ranting on Star Wars Being Changed. Again!
- BG’s Joke of the Week
- #OccupyWallStreet Protests: Still going on! Go get ‘em guys!
- The Pirate Party claims 15 seats in Berlin Parliament
- Talk Like a Pirate Day is over, but the fun pirate activities are still online. Yar!
- Attention Facebookers: Relax! Ooooo. My Facebook Friends really gave me the cold shoulder on this one! Twitter, too. Shame. I always prefer a spirited discussion to turning a blind eye. Shoulda posted it on Reddit! This was another one of those articles that came out very, very different than what I meant to write. Kinda like how this new digest was supposed to save me time and be shorter, LOL. This may be the first time Zuckerberg was portrayed as a generous man acting in what he believed to be the best interest of his customers. Love, love, loved it!
Whew! Not much less work, but maybe a easier to Digest. Get it? See what I did thar? Because the name… Bah, you don’t know funny!
If you like what we do here and you’re looking to pick up something form Amazon.com, consider using our link over in the sidebar. You pay the same price, and we skim a few cents off of Amazon to help pay the bills. That new $80 Kindle
So, there’s a sample of what’s still relevant from September of 2011. We posted nearly 60 articles in September including our deals and the random grab bag I like to call Late Night Leftovers. October is sure to bring big changes as BG is scheduled for reunification with her birth parents thus depriving us of GUO’s mascot, muse, and founder. Your feedback is very much appreciated as we struggle to find our way through this Web of a World while Growing Up Otaku.
Thanks for reading!
