Hack-o’-lantern

[Todd] sent in his Hack-o’-lantern just a bit late for Halloween. He did a good job of working with the logo considering the difficulty it poses for pumpkin carving.  We would have been proud to have that on our porch for the kids to steal and smash in the road. Since others in the past have also done Hack a Day pumpkins, maybe this will spawn a Hack a Day pumpkin carving contest next year. If he had enough time to get the green LED working, it would have been that much sweeter; everything is better with electronics.

    Why not use an epilog laser etcher. Check out laser pumpkins on google! Shiny happy pumpkins!

    todd,
    That’s awesome. I’m kind of ashamed that I didn’t do it!

    Thanks Caleb! Like it says on the page, I’m a hackaday fanboy, and this year it was the perfect way to show my allegiance. I really wish I had the time to wire up that green luxeon though. Next year…
