This is meant to be a serious blog. However, today is 31st October – Halloween. At least 50 children visited my house tonight – not all at the same time I might add – and each was given a small chocolate bar. I prefer the treat to the trick.

Given that it is Halloween I thought I would share the latest in Pumpkin technology – a remote controlled colour-changing pumpkin.

You can see a video of it in all its glory on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LihQ0xOvLo&feature=player_embedded
