Working iPod Halloween Costume

Posted by timothy on from the and-what-were-you-this-year dept.

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!"

    Yeah, you think for someone who dressed up as a fucking iPod for Halloween he would be geeky enough to have a decent server.
