There are a lot of fun things to do for the harvest in October. You can enjoy fresh cider at an apple orchard. Stop by a pumpkin patch and pick out your future jack-o-lantern. Or get lost in a corn maze. While spending the day on a farm is fun, it’s not required to enjoy […]
Opened up my Facebook page yesterday to discover pumpkin carving tattoo patterns from Pumpkin Wow. I just mentioned on Friday that I had finished my section on pumpkin carving. It may already be obsolete. In the section on pumpkin carving patterns, I detailed the process of poking holes through the stencil onto the pumpkin and […]
If you are going to release an electronics product to maximize sales and buzz during the Christmas selling season, October is the time to do it. And it seems likely that there will be a number of new products on store shelves this year. No where are we likely to see more new products available […]

Last weekend, I spent some time researching pumpkin carving. Yes, in the middle of July. But I’m now ready for pumpkin painting and carving this October. Pretty excited about it, actually. One of the things that I discovered during my research was the practice of underwater pumpkin carving. You definitely read that correctly. People voluntarily […]
The dust is now settling from Comic Con in Los Angeles over the weekend. And the big winners were Iron Man and Oz. We both knew that Iron Man was going to be hot. The success of The Avengers this spring ensured it. But when Robert Downey Jr. entered the Iron Man children’s costume contest […]
On Saturday, I stopped at a few beer stores to see if I could find any Oktoberfest and pumpkin beers. After all, the fall seasonal beers start in July. My personal goal is to try as many as possible this Fall. For the website, of course! At the first beer store, it was summer seasonals […]
