So what are you dressing up for Halloween? My costume (for work) is kinda lame but kinda funny. It’s a visual thing so here you go.
What am I?
I’ll post the answer in the comments later today after my co-workers give me grief for it. 
I stood in line last night like a good Apple geek to get Mac OSX 10.5 Leopard and a free t-shirt! I installed it this morning and it’s running great. I did the archive and install option and it’s all wonderful.
I love the new dock and the rounded corners on the menus. Small things I know, but Apple is known for the small details.
Safari 3 also rocks along with the folder quick view and stacks. I have a lot more features to go check out so I’m going to go play.
While at WalMart the other day, we ran across the one of the coolest cakes I’ve ever seen. It’s a hamburger & fries cake.
Everything pictured above is either cake or frosting. Right down to to the fries and ketchup.
To make it even better, when the hamburger was cut, the bun was white cake and the burger in the middle was chocolate cake. So it even looked like a burger once you took a bite out of it.
A lot of thought and time was taken to make this cake and it turned out pretty darn cool. We just had to buy it when we saw it was only $11.
Looking for a nice Halloween desktop picture? Well I threw a few together. Nothing to crazy, but simple and sweet. All desktops are created with free fonts found at DaFont.com.

I’m working on catching up on all my emails and feed reading since my SES San Jose trip. It was a lot of fun and educational too.
Here are some visuals:

We visited Valleyfair for the first time this weekend in about two years and tested out some of the new rides. Much to our surprise, the new wooden rollercoaster Renegade is awesome!
Now, I’m not tying to say that I thought Renegade wasn’t going to be good. It just wasn’t that tall and you didn’t look at it and say ‘wow’. It just didn’t look overly amazing. However, once we started down the first hill, we screamed our way though all the twists and turns and didn’t slow down to the very end. It was one awesome ride! Even my wife, who’s not a big fan of coasters, loved it!
If you are in the Minneapolis area, tonight is the best fireworks show you may ever see! The annual Minneapolis Aquatennial fireworks shoot off the Hennepin Avenue bridge over the Mississippi and they are amazing.
With Target as the sponsor, you know it’s going to be good. They have 10,000 pounds of explosives and 45 miles of wire making it the largest of its kind west of the Mississippi!
Get there early though as parking and viewing spots fill up fast! I know we’ll be there!!
This is quite possibly the greatest plugin ever!* You can now get the Made on a Mac Wordpress plugin that will automatically insert a button to your blog that states your blog was made on a Mac. How cool is that?!
The initial release is extremely basic. Just install it and enable it. That’s all. It hooks into Worpress via the wp_meta function and will place the button after that information. Usually that’s in the sidebar where it says Meta. If you don’t have that function in your theme, which isn’t completely out of the ordinary, you can manually add some code in. Just see the install page.
For any of you readers that might also have Facebook account, please go feed or pet my cow. Hamburglar, that’s his name, is lonely and would love some attention.
If you’d rather connect via Pownce, I’m now no that too. I’ll use it about as much as I do Twitter, and that’s not a whole lot.
I’ve also been checking out Skitch, the new little graphics program that’s suppose to be amazing. So far, it looks very cool, acts great, but has been troublesum to actually use. Maybe I haven’t put enough time into learning it, or maybe I’m just stuck in my Fireworks ways, but Skitch just doesn’t seem quite as cool as I though it would. As I use it more though, I’ll probably like it more.
