Must be October

My mom sent me a slide show in a weird patented secret file format made by some obscure software company headquartered in Redmond, Washington. Perhaps you've heard of them. Micro-something-or-other.

Anyway, once I managed to speak the proper incantations and click on "I agree" to sell my soul to some guy named Bill so that I could view the slide show, I saw some really cool looking pumpkin carvings. The artist who does these has a web site up at Pumpkingutter.com. Be sure to browse through the gallery, the pictures he takes at night with lights inside the pumpkins are really cool. And some of them are downright creeeeeeeeepy.

For a few good laughs, check out the FAQ.

(Okay, I didn't really have to sell my soul to Bill, all I had to do was move over to our laptop and download his special PowerPoint viewer program. I haven't figured out how to view these things in Linux yet, or if there's even a way to do it.)

Interesting

I was looking at prices of flash drives (in case the one I have can't be repaired) and came across a University of Utah flash drive. When did these things make the transition from being computer storage devices to fashion accessories?
