Have a Handmade Halloween – Halloween Classes & Activities Around Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh Halloween Classes

In addition to pumpkin pickin and hay rides, there are lots of other ways to get into the Halloween spirit around Pittsburgh this week.  While the Pittsburgh Glass Center’s blown glass pumpkin workshop has already sold out, there is still plenty of space left in the other workshops.  I know the glass workshops are popular and we’re already working on a post about ornament workshops for the holiday season.

Video of Goat vs. Little Lion at Schramm Farms

goat eats kid in lion costumeI am not one for watching and sharing animal videos.  But, I will make exceptions … my friend Olga shared this video of her daughter visiting Schramm Farm and meeting the goats.  Olga’s daughter was wearing her lion costume to visit the farm.

This goat was a fan of this little lion and Olga happened to be recording their encounter.  The little lion is completely fine – a little shocked, but fine.  I am sharing this video with the permission of the parents.

Pitt-starter: Less than 24hrs to Help DuoScreen Reach Goal

duo-screenPitt-starter is our series of blog posts on Pittsburgh related crowdfunding campaigns.  You can check out past Pitt-starter posts here.

It is down to the wire for this one, but Pittsburghers are good at lastminute comebacks.  DuoScreen is a Pittsburgh startup that is part of the ThrillMill incubator in East Liberty.  I have had the opportunity to get to know the founders of DuoScreen over the past 10 months and I really like these guys.  Not only will they sit around and let me talk about social media for hours, but they have a great ideas, they are super nice people.

Also, I think that DuoScreen is a great idea for a product.  Developers and social media geeks like me often work from a laptop and a second screen.  I am currently sitting at my desk at work writing this blog post using my laptop and extra monitor.  DuoScreen is a portable second screen that works with most laptop sizes and allows you to bring your second screen with you.

Check out the video for the DuoScreen Kickstarter below and you can support the DuoScreen Kickstarter project here.  Help these guys launch their business and pick up your own DuoScreen at a special Kickstarter price (and be sure to follow @DuoScreen on Twitter).
