Ghost? Zombie? Nixon? Man, these costumes are old news. This Halloween, why not dress up as something from the geek universe? Christopher Null from Yahoo! Tech suggested the following:
Sony Laptop Battery Pack – What you need: Rectangular piece of cardboard or foam, black paint, a lit cigarette (to simulate the smoking effect). Bonus points for carrying those little poppers that explode when you step on them.
Sony Rootkit-Infected CD – Large circle of cardboard covered in aluminum foil, evil laugh. (Just as scary as the battery.)
LonelyGirl15 (pictured) – What you need: T-shirt or tank top, pony tail scrunchy, tweezers (to pluck eyebrows immaculately), age-diminishing cream, Aliester Crowley books, feather boa, purple monkey puppet, general sense of rebellion and ennui about life.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs – Black turtleneck, blue jeans, iPod, glasses, smug grin.
Firefox – What you need: Fox outfit, lighter fluid, match, sense of irony, fireproofness, legion of geek followers.
The TRON Guy – Awesome TRON bodysuit, pot belly, no sense of shame.
Former HP Chairman of the Board Patricia Dunn – Liza Minnelli haircut, expensive women’s suit, reporter’s telephone records that you have no idea how you got, pink slip.
