WordPress Pumpkin

Tired of carving the same 'ol pumpkin every year, I thought I'd try something different this year. I free-handed the WordPress logo on the pumpkin then carefully carved it out.

    @all - thanks for the comments!

    And I thought I was cool with my WordPress t-shirt... fantastic job!

    spooky. i like the crash of old and new technologies--writing by carving on objects is transported in time and space via photography and the internet to laptops everywhere!

  18. October 31, 2008 @ 12:48 am #

    Amazing! Great job.

    Happy Helloween ;)

    Nice! That's an unique pumpkin carving, I bet your neighbors will wonder the meaning of "W".

  20. October 31, 2008 @ 4:40 am #

    Wow,

    After seeing your pumpkin, mine has now become pie.

    -Cheers

    That's awesome Eric. Beats my Union Jack-o-Lantern.

  22. October 31, 2008 @ 7:28 am #

    Nice carvings of the WordPress logo on the pumpkin.

  23. October 31, 2008 @ 7:56 am #

    aaahhh!!! Very nice...and creative too.

  24. October 31, 2008 @ 8:18 am #

    Dude, that is awesome! I thought you said you were more of a programmer than a designer. Whatever. That rocks! Did you ever launch that new design for your family's blog?

  25. October 31, 2008 @ 8:19 am #

    ^D awesome, how long does it takes?

  26. October 31, 2008 @ 8:32 am #

    @all - thanks again for the comments.

    @AsceticMonk - I'm sure they'll have no idea...but I'm guessing some will think it is for George W. Bush ;)

    @Steve - pumpkin pie is yummy!

    @Joel - let's see a picture ;)

    @Brandon - thanks ;) The design was actually for this site and unfortunately I've been too busy lately to work on it. How's the hiatus going?

  27. October 31, 2008 @ 10:17 am #

    I was asked about plugins...so here you go:

    wp-crayons
    wp-pumpkinmasters (a must have)
    wp-tealights

    :)

    WhOa! Came across this from the dashboard ... someone has some patience and a little talent! Nice to see some pumpkins ... none here in Sweden lit up on this dark rainy Halloween night in Stockholm.

    Too bad pumpkin designs go away within a couple of days :(

    Thanks!

  29. October 31, 2008 @ 2:03 pm #

    Too cool!!! Hate to ask if you have any tattoos?

  30. October 31, 2008 @ 2:16 pm #

    As former EVP/Editorial Director of Martha Stewart, I am professionally qualified to give you two thumbs up on the pumpkin-carving. Fabulous. You'd do Martha proud (and upside-down, it's her initial...or mine). As a WordPress user and believer (as is Martha), I say another two thumb's up for showing your passion for this great technology.

  31. October 31, 2008 @ 2:34 pm #

    @Mholsonproject - I'm glad I took a picture the first day I carved it, the middle of the W is already starting to wilt :(

    @Blogology - I do not have any tattoo's - why do you ask? And no, I'm not planning on getting a WordPress tattoo ;)

    @Margaret - thanks for your note, I appreciate it! I went ahead and carved one for you (and Martha) ;) :

  32. October 31, 2008 @ 3:47 pm #

    wow!
    That carving is way too cool man! \m/
    I wonder what you'll be carvin' out on a pumpkin(or ice) this coming holidays.

    Hmmm...a snowflake perhaps? :D

    God Bless sir!

  33. November 2, 2008 @ 12:23 am #

    That's cool!

  34. November 2, 2008 @ 1:40 am #

    Cooool. A 'W'.

    What does that stand for? "Witches'... brew"?

  35. November 3, 2008 @ 4:02 pm #

    I hope you ate it when you were finished with it. (Baked pumpkin, yum!)
