jQuery Pumpkin

jQuery Halloween Pumpkin

Created by jQuery user Christopher Pickert (of BigFishGames.com), he writes:

"Since Halloween is the perfect time to celebrate the black arts of web development, I carved a special jQuery pumpkin last night. I hope you enjoy it.

Our QA person said that he found a bug in the code, but I explained that it was because of the candle."

He continues:

I did carve that - it's not photoshop. On an impulse I bought a little $7 battery-operated pumpkin saw at the grocery store, and it's great because you can do small details more easily. So actually the hard part was drawing the characters first and getting them the right size.

Great work Christopher!

  1. SUPER COOL!
    I’ll make a “calavera” about jQuery too.

    *”calavera” = “kind of death day’s poem dedicated to something or someone”

    Awesome pumpkin! This is just a geeky (if not more) as when I decided it was the best idea to carve the letters of all the tombstones I made in Consolas.

    There is no bug. But if there was, it would be there because bugs are drawn to the light.
