Image of the Day: Halloween Lion Cub

Halloween Lion Cub and Mom

A costumed lion cub and his mom check out some animated decorations at the Meister House.

This year’s Halloween at the Meister House involved no less than 153 children stopping by to take in our outdoor and indoor displays. Between the kids and their parents, grandparents and friends, we had somewhere around 300+ people coming through our over-sized garage this year.

Some of the little costumed visitors were so engrossed pushing the buttons to start all the animated decorations that they forgot to grab some candy on their way out.

Of course, for those of you who didn’t make it out this year, there’s always Halloween 2006 at the Meister House, but in the meantime, take a look through our Meister Halloween 2005 photo gallery.

EXIT for the Sony PSP

Exit on the Sony PSP

PSPUpdates has a writeup on EXIT, a game set to arrive in Japan in December.

In this Sony PSP game by Taito, you help the stylistic Mr. ESC remove himself from any number of difficult situations such as burning buildings and prisons during earthquakes. You also will come across civilians who will need your escape expertise to find their way to safety as well, all while the game’s timer counts down.

With the promise of up to 100 extra levels being available for download over the ten weeks after release, this looks to be a great little addition to the PSP lineup.

You can view a trailer of the actual game play here.

These panoramic photos were made using multiple pan shots across our outside Halloween decorations and the “stitch mode” of my Canon Powershot A520 digital camera.

The ability of the computer software to work with the camera’s stitch feature and merge the resulting photos in an unbroken panorama is pretty impressive, particularly for how little I paid for the camera.
