Our Halloween costume contest is over, and we have a winner. I want to thank everyone who submitted a costume photo to the contest. It was great fun checking them all out. If you want to check them all out for yourself, hop over to SanDisk’s Flickr photo group, then search for the term Halloween to see all the cute costumes in one place.
I want to say a huge thank you to SanDisk for sponsoring the contest. I learned quite a bit in the process about the importance of picking the right SD card for your camera or photo device.

It’s almost Halloween time again, already! For the first time, I’m starting to hear of communities hosting a Trunk-or-Treat. Have you heard of them?

The general idea, from what I’ve gathered, is for a group of people to gather in a parking lot, with all the cars parked so that the trunks are facing each other. Kids come in costume to do their begging from …read more
