  Taking your iPod for Halloween!?

Ready for Halloween?

While I am sure many of you had the perfect costume picked out 2 months ago, some of us are a little slower on the uptake. I have a few 'used' costumes from previous years that I am sure I could reuse, but I have had no good inspiration for Halloween 2005...

So, with three days left before the big day, I have been looking around the Net trying to decide on this years big costume. And while I haven't quite settled on anything yet, I did come across a cool idea. Check it out:

The guy on the left built a giant functioning iPod using a tablet PC, a rewired USB mouse, and a bit of Java code to play and display MP3s al a McGuiver.

Not sure I can accomplish that in the next three days, but maybe next year.

For those of you who already have a costume, I have another holiday idea for you. Ever go to those parties and wish that you had a little more control over the music selection. You can either put up with the music and suffer all night, take-over the CD player, or take your own music, either of which would show bad form. Well, we have another idea for you... Dress up your iPod!

That's right, dress up your iPod and you can take it anywhere you go as part of your getup!

Pirate iPod! AAarghh Matey!!! With this, instead of being the shmuck who is listening to his own music in the corner, you will be the talk of any party you go to!

Happy Halloween everybody! Trick or Treat!!!
