    My Mac got Halloweenified. There’s a screaming skull too, which hides behind a black screen when the screensaver comes on and jumps out when it hears someone nearby. (15″ MacBook Pro plus 23″ Apple monitor)

    This is what Saturday mornings are for. Spreading lego around the house, watching cartoons and drinking chocolate milk. Clonetrooper thinks he’s found a 42″ TV.
