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."

    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. It's vital for keeping the thread of energy going. The DJs are up the front, centre stage, the VJs near by, everyone's clearly enjoying themselves, as there's huge amounts of applause and shouts of appreciation when they've finished their set.

    How many times have you appeared in a slashdot topic? Show us your unique achievements you magnificent, undiscovered genius.

    I've noticed that cynical disposition and the constant need to shit on anything that remotely looks like fun is inversely proportional to one's lack of accomplishments. Reminds me of idiots who say "Facebook? Any kid with knowledge of PHP could have done that. It was all luck." Instead, they sit in dark rooms and jerk it to manga all their lives and tear down those who have actually applied themselves and made stuff happen, no matter how trivial.

    I'm sorry that a guy who has created something in a true geek spirit is unworthy of your attention, amidst the ever-important stream of hard hitting news found on /.

    Haters gonna hate.
