While on the subject of my creativity, I started my next Haloween costume…
As some of you know, I work for a company that provides Internet service via cable modem. (Yes, It rhymes with circumcision!). I decided to create a new costume from scratch this year. I decided to be a “Motorolla Cable Modem” :)….
Using tons of Foam Board, Masking Tape, and Rubber Cement, I managed to put together the bulk of the unit. I only have a few days as there’s a costume contest on Monday. First prize is a $100 Gift Card (No, I don’t know where to). I even made a Coaxial connector for the back. Tomorrow I have to pick up more foam board, some paint (I’m paranoid I may run out) and finish assembling it.
Note that I have not attached the top or back yet, cut the holes for the lights (yes, they will be working just like on a real cable modem), nor painted it. Lots to do tomorrow.
You are the biggest geek I know. I love you! Not sure if that is genuius or madness 🙂
a bit of both I believe.
haha….you are such a effing GEEK!!!!!
:o)
I hung skeleton flashing lights. Jealous? And I am wearing a shirt that says, “bite me.” Beat that Mr. Build-my-own-holy-original-costumes-from-scratch.
But Dude, seriously…techworld…you…out…more. But before outting more, please use your hi-tech photo abilities to post pics of you in full, modem regalia.
Yes… I am exhausted… Almost went to a Haloween party tonight, but came home to look up the directions and decided I was too tired. It’ll all be worth it tomorrow night when I finish the details on it!!! (see todays post) 🙂 Then I’ll have to take you (and my LJ friends) out for a cellebratory lunch (or dinner.. or early breakfast with my hours!), if not only to cellebrate my accomplishments, to get me out of the damn house 🙂
