Today's Webtip: Jack O'What?
I'm feeling the urge to help extend the boundaries of that wasteland known as U.S. consumer culture. It's almost like there is a little chip inside my head that get's activated at this time of year, making me do my best to spread the word about the joys of Halloween.
I try to resist, but you know what they say about resistance.
It really is futile.

Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! It's my favorite excuse to dress up and do stupid stuff, and it's just more fun when more people are doing it.
Despite what most of the local retailers would like you to think, the best aspects of this best holiday can be done without actually buying any plastic junk. Pumpkin carving has to be one of the fundamental D.I.Y. decoration skills and it's a seasonal art form that deserves a much higher standing here than it does right now.
So help me help myself by learning to carve and preserve a pumpkin. Ignore all the rest of the Halloween nonsense if you like, but set the night aglow with the light from a thousand candles.
Please?
