Vampires, werewolves and iPods roam on Halloween night

By Barb Dybwad

Jared Winick is the hands-down winner for Best Halloween Costume,
2004:

"I decided to be an iPod for Halloween this year. I
didn't just want to be walking around in a box, so I made it a fully functional costume. I finally found a good use
for a tablet PC, and used that for the display. A rewired USB mouse served as the 'Forward,' 'Reverse,' 'Play/Pause'
buttons, and a bit of Java code played and displayed the MP3s. Some battery powered speakers provided the sound. It
all worked out well, and I even won the costume contest!"
