iPad + Macintosh Plus = Crazy Visualizer Helmet

An anonymous reader writes "I would like to share with you a helmet I made out of a Macintosh Plus and an iPad. Essentially, I purchased a Macintosh Plus on ebay, removed the inner parts, cut a hole in the bottom of the case, inserted the inner padding of a bicycle helmet (cut to fit), and cut a slot for the iPad to slide in. The iPad's thinness allows for plenty of room for the user's head and the inner helmet keeps the Macintosh situated properly. What started as a project for my sculpture class has now become a part of my good friend Kid Chameleon's DJ set and a way for us to showcase our visuals in a new way during live performances."

    Was that really Slashdot-worthy? A douchey meaningless video with too loud music I had to fast-forward to get to the point, with the "OHMIGOD this is the greatest thing ever" Also sprach Zarathustra music to stroke your own ego, "look at this great thing I invented, I managed to use a knife to cut holes and shit"?

    Just when I thought an Apple Fan Boy could not get any gayer...

    Mac Plus is pre-gay Apple fan-boi-dom.

    If he used a "flavor" Mac, then yeah, break out the K-Y.

    You obviously go to shit parties - most of the raves I've been to have been immeasurably improved by the fact the music seamlessly blends from one track to the next.

    I think it had more to do with the drugs than with the music appearing "seamless".

    Just say'in.
