Looking for a last minute Halloween costume? Why not consider going as a 30-minute phone call that really could’ve been an email. It’s one of many creative 2022 costume ideas from Spirit, seasonal American pop-up retailer of Halloween getups. Well, one of the ideas from the internet dressing up as Spirit, that is.

The Fake Spirit Halloween costume meme involves adding an image and text to a blank template of a prepackaged Spirit costume. The meme started in 2019, but it’s really picked up this Spooktober as Halloween approaches. Spirit itself has even gotten in on the joke, going meta with a fake costume that turns you into an actual Spirit Halloween store. The costume comes with a sign for the abandoned building you take over and “the will to exist for only three months.”

The meme can get pretty pointed and political (this is the Internet after all). Fake costumes jab at short-lived UK Prime Minister Liz Truss (“discard after 45 days,” reads the package for the Truss parody costume); President Joe Biden; Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene, California Governor Gavin Newsom and local politicians. But a lot of the parodies just poke at professional stereotypes and pop culture.

There’s the venture capitalist costume that’ll have you wowing any party with your “generic advice” and “aggressive term sheets.” And the private equity associate costume, which comes with an “elitist personality” and “business jargon flashcards” (sorry, newsletter subscribers sold separately).

NASA’s Webb Telescope Snaps Super Eerie Image of ‘Pillars of Creation’

New images from NASA’s next-generation James Webb Space Telescope present views of the cosmos so clear and crisp, it’s spooky. For Halloween, the space agency turned up the (mid infra-)red in a picture of the spectacular “Pillars of Creation” to give this remarkable star-forming region a darker, dustier tone.

The Pillars of Creation — located within the sprawling Eagle Nebula some 6,500 light-years away — first achieved astronomical fame when the Hubble Space Telescope observed it in 1995.

Then, it was brought back into the limelight as the ‘scope revisited it in 2014, and last week, Hubble’s successor Webb provided highly sharp, detailed views of the pillars, managing to peer through more of the area’s obscuring dust than was previously possible. That image was produced by the machine’s Near-Infrared instrument. However, as it turns out, Webb is also equipped to let the dust and gas themselves shine in their own ethereal way.

Switching to Webb’s Mid-Infrared Instrument, or MIRI, provided the creepy observation of the iconic pillars we see above.

Viewing the scene in the mid-infrared brings out the dust that cloaks light from numerous stars shining through, sparkles more easily observed on other parts of the spectrum and highlighted in Webb’s seminal image of the landscape, according to NASA.

The effect lends the whole scene a more ghostly feel, like a great shadowy hand reaching across the universe. The crimson hues highlighted by MIRI are enough to make you wonder if we’re actually looking at the heavens or

The air is getting cooler, the nights are getting longer and Halloween is here. Fall is in the air. If you limped through the summer grilling season with an aging, beat-up grill, now is a great time to raise your game with sales on all types of outdoor grills. I’d argue that fall is superior to summer for grilling. Would you prefer to tend to a hot grill during the hot, humid months of July and August or a crisp, cool evening in October or November? Whether you need a new grill for your patio, deck or tailgate parking lot, we’ve assembled the best deals on a variety of types of grills, from traditional charcoal grills and ceramic kamado grills to gas grills and portable grills.

Not sure which type of grill would suit you best? Before you check out our picks for the best deals on outdoor grills, take a spin through our grill buying guide. I’m firmly in the charcoal grill camp, but if you have yet to take a side in the great grill debate, here’s a useful primer on which is better, a gas or charcoal grill.

For a fraction of the price of a kamado or a gas grill, Weber’s basic 22-inch kettle is the standard-bearer of charcoal grills. It’s easy to assemble and will last for years and years.

Microsoft Teams can soon be set as default on Cisco conferencing hardware

Cisco’s video conferencing hardware will be updated to let users set Microsoft Teams as the default video conferencing software, the two companies have announced. Initially six devices will be certified to work with Teams in the first half of next year, including the (a combined speaker and webcam), the 55 and 75-inch versions of the Cisco Board Pro (a freestanding screen designed for video conferencing) and the Cisco Room Kit Pro.

Cisco’s press release stresses that its own Webex video calling software (which it paid billions for a little over a decade ago) isn’t going anywhere. “The devices will continue to support joining Webex meetings with all the features and functionality customers enjoy today,” the release notes. But building in native support for Teams and allowing it to be set as the default recognizes how many businesses are entrenched in Microsoft’s ecosystem and rely primarily on its software for video conferencing.

“Customers want collaboration to happen on their terms — regardless of device or meeting platform,” Cisco’s Jeetu Patel said in a statement. Alongside its meeting devices, Cisco peripherals like the Cisco Desk Camera 4K webcam and two upcoming headsets will also be available with support for Microsoft Teams.
