Summer may be officially behind us, but that means that we can start getting ready for some of the great events yet to come in the fall and winter. Are you already thinking about Halloween costumes? Considering where you want to spend your holidays in December? Before you get that far, let’s take another tour of the blogosphere to see what people have to say.

John Grohol is an expert in psychology, so he was particularly interested in the season premiere of a certain television show earlier this week. We saw House in a psychiatric hospital and, while there were some stereotypes being displayed, the overall portrayal is more accurate than most other Hollywood depictions of these kinds of institutions. Growth and development can be a long and challenging road, but truth and compassion can get us there.

Donald Trump may have faced bankruptcy on more than one occasion, but we all respect him for his business savvy and his ability to rise back into multi-millionaire mogul status. How does he do it? Trump values the importance of tenacity. It’s not about how many times you fall down and how many difficulties you may face; it’s about how many times you get back up and how many times you overcome your conflicts.

Justine Ezarik may be an Internet celebrity herself, but when she went to the 140tc Celebrity Panel, she saw someone who may be better known to mainstream society. A relative newbie to the world of Twitter, Pee Wee Herman was in attendance to promote his new show. The comedian-actor actually sent his first tweet ever right from the stage of the event.

Jeremy Schoemaker know that there are still lessons to be learned when you are on vacation. He recently took a trip to San Diego, learning business lessons from Sea World. More specifically, he took a trip to the midway arcade, analyzing the business model behind those games to win giant stuffed animals. Rather than work the system, Shoemoney decided to buy a giant Shamu for $30 instead.

Buzz Bishop is on his way to the Napa Valley for some wine tasting, but before he headed out, he went over to Steamworks in Gastown for some Great Pumpkin Ale. Some people enjoy wheat beers or dark lagers, but Steamworks decided to brew up some ale with what we would normally use for pie or Jack O’ Lanterns. For Buzz, it was too sweet and the spices were far from subtle. Your taste buds may or may not agree.
