Variations on a theme: It's not a Mac O'Lantern, it's a Pumputer
More Halloween hacks for you - check out the Pumputer, made by Brenda and Adam. They say "The Pumputer was conceived of to bring home the company's carving contest award for the Information Technology department. A 1990 Macintosh Classic computer was obtained and carefully dismantled. After insertion into a large pumpkin, it's peripherals were color coded to adhere to the Pumputer 1.0 model standards, and connected via VineBus, a very advanced serial connection."Before you check out the pics - let me caution you. There are some serious power tools involved! Not for the faint of heart or collectors of Mac Classics.Thanks, John!
Flickr Find: Sad Mac O'Lanterns and more
More on the Halloween theme... This Sad Mac O'Lantern is sad in more ways than one - it looks unfinished - but I admire the effort.Then there's a classic iPumpkin, and the Mac Plus pumpkin with a twist. My favorite so far is last year's Matrix pMac by RantingPenguin. Nice work!
Joy of Tech Mac O'Lanterns
To continue helping you get into the Halloween spirit, just in case the iTunes Halloween Essentials playlists aren't doing it for you, Nitrozac and Shaggy posted a how-to on making your own Mac O'Lanterns on Joy of Tech. They've posted a bunch of pics of some rather creative efforts to carve a number of Mac notables and general geek personalities. There's a pumpkin head Pogue, Ellen Feiss, a Woz O'Lantern and a truly frightening Steve Balmer amongst other classics like the Happy Mac O'Lantern. Maybe it's just me, but that Megan Morrone pumpkin looks an awful lot like a young Hillary Clinton.If you've carved out your own creation, post a pic on Flickr or your other favorite photo sharing site and leave a link in the comments!Thanks, Frank and the rest who sent this in!
