Halloween!
Oct. 31st, 2007 09:24 pmI like Halloween. But mostly I really like staying home and handing out candy and eating the candy I should be handing out.
This year I realized that I had a nice confluence of technology, and so I used the projector to project the mirror-mirror-on-the-wall face onto the blinds of the front window. Now people have to walk in front of an animated talking face to get candy. I love it! It has a nice setting to let it be microphone sensitive, which is just great. So far it has sung along with a bunch of songs and narrated an entire episode of "This American Life". I also carved a pumpkin.
In order then, the pictures are: the face, the front of the house (with porch light turned off), and the pumpkin.

In somewhat unrelated news, I have decided to take one picture a day for a year. It's been fun so far. You can watch my progress on Flickr if that's your bag.
