Halloween around the Organic, Inc SF office means it’s time for the pumpkin carving contest! Besides looking awesome (thanks to simon), the SteamPumpkin is interactive: when you open the doors it snaps photos and rsync’s them to http://tinyurl.com/steampunkd (thanks to dale). inside the pumpkin is a photo resistor on an arduino board and web camera, both hooked up to an nearby pc running an air application, all glued together by starPause the k333d!

ps. yes it’s a real pumpkin with dremel engravings! the software running on the arduino board is standard firmata talking to a funnel on the server. more questions welcome =)
