MAKE In This Issue... Say Hi to i3 Detroit Tonight Through Matt's Costume Prosthetic Sculpture: Ira Sherman (video) Halloween Hack: Kinect Enabled Portrait of Vigo the Carpathian Intern's Corner: Making Apple Cider More Recent Articles Say Hi to i3 Detroit Tonight Through Matt's Costume Just a friendly reminder. Put all those little final touches on your costume and head out to our halloween party tonight! Matt has rigged up a personal interactive LED display for people to mess with. Send tweets to @MattsCostume tonight (7pm and later) to display your tweet on his sign. Pretty cool! Be sure to do a twitter search for @MattsCostume after the event to read all of the past hilarity that he had to walk around with. Dont be too wordy though, the sign is only capable of displaying 76 characters at once, so you'll get cut off if you ramble too much!   • Email to a friend • View comments • Track comments • • Prosthetic Sculpture: Ira Sherman (video) Ira Sherman is an artist who sculpts work that has been shown worldwide in museums such as the Smithsonian. At Maker Faire Bay Area 2011 he brings structures that are created from tubular frames in curvilinear shapes that are meant to fit the contours of the human body.

With a little Photoshop help from his coworkers, Eric created this interactive display in just one day for his company’s Halloween-themed open house. It looks like a lot of fun, but just remember, “he is Vigo! You are like the buzzing of flies to him!” [via Hack A Day] More: How-To: Make a Ghostbuster costume (and accessories) How-To: Ecto Cooler Ghostbusters Ecto-1 restoration / recreation Lego ghost trap replica Inspired to make something for Halloween?

Dale has been making cider for over 20 years, and since this was only my second time making it, he was kind enough to share his technique with me as we worked together.
