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!"

    It's simple. Hot women are into guys who like to work out, spend their money on a hot car and spend their time in meat-market bars. Girls are not into you just because you can manage to get out of your cubicle once a year and wear a fancy GEEKY costume to a halloween party.

    Think whatever you want, women are into money, power and well-shaped, attractive, confidant men. They don't want you just because you have a brain and have memorized your AD&D manual. Sorry, boys. That's just like. Mod me down all you want, but it only illustrates your own self delusion.
