It's the day before Halloween, and this will be the last word on the holiday on this blog for another 11 months! For some reason, when Halloween is over, I'm ready to move on to the holidays with tons of enthusiasm and loose pants :) While you're contemplating that, here are some headlines to chew on ...

-Happy birthday, Email! Our favorite (or at least first) internet messaging device turns the big 4-0 today. USA Today's Technology blog has the story, in case you're interested.

-There are two things about this headline that perk my interest: "LG, 20th Century Fox Offer Avatar Content Exclusively on New Chocolate" -- can you guess which? One is the mention of Avatar, which has been in the news as of late after allegations surfaced of James Cameron ripping off the 'original' story ... the other is the mention of a cellphone called 'Chocolate.' It's not new, but I think I want one. Mmmm.... Too bad I'm a crackberry addict.

-In pretty big (or purported-to-be-big) web news, the head honchos that oversee web addresses have approved the use of 'Hebrew, Hindi, Korean and other scripts not based on Latin characters' to be used in web addresses. I wasn't aware that they weren't, but OK. Yay, way to get yourself included, all of you who weren't before!

See you all next week -- with some hopefully good news and an announcement or two ... I swear I've got some things in the works :) Have a spooky, scary weekend!
