Interact with the Halloween Google doodle

Interact with the Halloween Google doodle

We have become all too familiar with Google’s fun doodles over the years and as tradition rolls around again, today’s Google doodle is dedicated to Halloween. This doodle is fun though, since you are able to interact with a click of your mouse. You will have the opportunity to open 5 doors in which will ghoulishly spell the trusted name of Google. You can start from left to right or anywhere you want to knock and play a quick trick or treat with the Search Engine. …

Tell us a scary story

Tell us a scary story

There is nothing like a horror flick to make your anxiety levels rise or a campfire story that increases your heart rate and raises your blood pressure through the roof. I love a scary story and the more thought-provoking the better, Hitchcock movies are great to watch on Halloween, if you like classic films like me, or Paranormal Activity trilogy is pretty decent too if you prefer something more new-aged. …

4 interactive Halloween apps for the spookiest day of the year

Hurricane Sandy may have dampened our Halloween spirits for actual trick or treating outside but that doesn’t mean we cannot still have some Halloween fun using our Smartphones. …

For Harley: The digital photo album

For Harley: The digital photo album

My wife and I are expecting our daughter Harley in July sometime and there isn’t a feeling in the world that can compare to your first child being born. I remember when I was younger, my parents would cart around the camcorder (which was the same size as a vacuum cleaner) and video my brothers and sister playing in the backyard or in the snow forts we would spend hours building together. I look back on those memories and hope that when my daughter is old enough to appreciate the videos I compiled for her, will she make fun of my iPhone camera? When my wife and I first found out that we were going to have a child…

Your Halloween Costume Will Never Be As Ambitious As This. Ever.

Your Halloween Costume Will Never Be As Ambitious As This. Ever.

Oh, hey, I just realized I’m an inconsiderate jerk, and never asked you how your Halloween was. How’d it go? Good haul? See more Batmans this year? You didn’t go as Heath Ledger’s Joker again, did you? Good, that would’ve just been stupid. Stupid though your costume may or mayn’t have been, though, it can’t have been more stupid than this guy’s. YouTube user DrWormsie decided to go all-out this year and spend 250 hours and over a thousand dollars constructing what isn’t so much a Halloween costume as a motor vehicle. As you’ve already seen the video, you know damn right that this is one serious chunk…

How To Make a Juno iBurger Mobile Phone

Nothing screams hipster like anything from “Juno”, most notably her iconic hamburger phone. Now, you too can haz Juno hamburger, if you are ready and willing to transform your iPhone into a hamburger phone. Its creator, Karen, wanted to be Juno for Halloween, and came up with the crafty idea to burger up her Iphone to really complete the costume. “I try not to be TV or movie characters for Halloween too often, but when I came up with this idea I couldn’t resist.” said Karen, the iBurger’s creator. “I thought it would be fun to turn my iPhone into the hamburger phone made famous by ‘Juno’.” The step-by-step…

Zombie Reports Track the Coming Undead Apocalypse

Zombie Reports Track the Coming Undead Apocalypse

With Halloween a mere 36 hours away, sightings of unsavoury creatures of all manner will be on the rise, and it’s integral that the ballyhoo caused by their appearance is kept under control. Perhaps the greatest threat of all, though, is zombies. No, really. What, you thought it was vampires or something? Have you seen a zombie movie lately? They can run now, guys. If that isn’t terrifying, you do not exist. If you’re one of those zombie purists who don’t believe zombies can run, you’re going to be among the first to be eaten, and frankly, you just have fun with that. You’re on your own, hero. Luckily…

Halloween's Most Popular Costume? Pirates!

Halloween is approaching, and boy do we have a treat for you. It appears that not only are pirates the most used costume during Halloween, but they are also the most heavy users of Internet traffic with BitTorrent. Coincidence? I think not! Halloween is a time of mischief and scary things. In the eyes of Hollywood, pirates are the same: they steal their product and, allegedly, threaten their industry. See the connection? Sandvine, a Canadian management company, recently revealed information that points to expanding P2P traffic; leading the P2P race is BitTorrent. The company reported that…

No Pirates, Princesses, or Pokémon, Please

No Pirates, Princesses, or Pokémon, Please

What’s your kid wearing for Halloween? He’s not going as Batman, is he? I see, like, a trillion child Batmans running around every Halloween, all wearing that foam (plastic?) muscle bib chestplate deal, with snowpants so they don’t catch a cold. Parents, your child isn’t going to catch a cold. He’s the goddamned Batman. Anyway, the point is, your kid’s Halloween costume is stupid – muscle bib or no. If you really wanna have a pissing contest with the other parents on the block, you’ll consider the Kid’s Walker from Sakakibara Kikai. Obviously from Japan, the Kid’s Walker is a robot that… well,…

Weta Legs: A Dummies Guide To Public Indignity

Weta Legs: A Dummies Guide To Public Indignity

Do you ever wonder why more people don’t make fun of you? Do you long to be insulted more, to be the butt of more of your friends jokes? Do you wish you could be stared at, mocked and ridiculed at even more social engagements? I have just the thing for you. Weta Legs are designed for people with too much money and too much self confidence. Apparently there is a need for prosthetic limbs that lengthen your legs and give you the appearance of being a mythical creature, like the Minotaur or the Meganerd. With absolutely no useful or worthwhile purpose other than for costume parties or theatrical props, the…
