After spending the latter half of an unusually hot and humid early-September day, enjoying a pumpkin frosted sugar cookie, some pumpkin spiced coffee, and several Dogfish Head Pumpkin Ales (not all at the same time, although that would be impressive), I thought to myself how lucky we are to live in an age where pumpkin spice "everything" can be "everywhere" (for about two or three months).

However, moments later, it struck me that one crucial piece of the pumpkin pie was missing from this cinnamon and ginger induced equation: how can information about pumpkin spice be equally as ubiquitous as pumpkin spice itself?

And at that instance, I absolutely knew that the world at large needs a Node.js module dedicated to providing a constant pulse on all things pumpkin spice from the Twittersphere.
