This Friday’s fun is going to be filled with ghosts and ghouls, pumpkins and parties.

Halloween is one of my favorite times. People make it a point to have fun. Imagine that. It’s also my sister-in-law’s birthday (big shoutout to Jenn!).

So, without further delay….

screams
Josh Shapiro and the NPR gang have come up with some audio streaming that is meant to raise the hair on your neck. It’s not only Halloween fun but an adventure into new technologies.

orange is the new black
Who hasn’t always wanted their own pumpkin computer? I mean, really. This computer will dissolve in 5-4-3…

existential pumpkin
Have you ever wondered what a pumpkin thinks of its life and those around it? Pumpkins have deep, esoteric thoughts. Think carefully before you tear the innards from a pumpkin’s body.

black is *not* the new black
Only Martha would think that black pumpkins would be the new trend. I wonder if she uses environmentally-friendly paint?

zap!
Dude! This is so 1980s. I was coloring my hair blue back when I was a young pup.

snap!
You’re worried about getting your Halloween photos perfect, aren’t you? Or is that only me? Well, photojojo gives us all a few pointers that will help in any low light, high glare situation.

no investigations here
And only because I think that HP needs some good press, I’m going to share their oh-so-fun halloween projects.

o, scary night!
On a final note, imagine being an immigrant to the United States. Imagine that you had *never* heard of Halloween nor known about this strange event where ghoulish characters knock on your door and make threatening sounds. Juliet Jegasothy talks about her first Halloween in the States after immigrating from Sri Lanka. She has a great sense of humor about it even though it sounds like it was a very scary evening.

Have some fun out there today. Halloween is *not* just for kids.
