Working iPod Halloween Costume

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

Jrod1080 writes "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!"

    ...if I'm not spending halloween reading Slashdot (read: this won't actually happen), I'm going to dress up as a Slashdotted website.

    Hey wait a second, there's still time... I'll go get a T-Shirt and write "Server too busy" on it.

    DRM is like antifreeze, to the MPAA/RIAA it's sweet, to the consumers it's poison.

    You're right ... that's pretty damn scary.
