I’ve been a fan of the Evil Dead franchise since I first saw the original back when I was about 16. What a fantastic series of movies, and I love each and every one of them. So you could imagine my excitement when I stumbled across the following tutorial.

After much deliberation, hours of research and a handful of emails with http://www.smooth-on.com, I think I finally have a plan to build the kids proton packs for halloween. For those that are not into Prop replication, the kids packs will be are refered to as junk packs. Meaning that I will be making them primarily out of things I have around the house. I find making due with what I have available to be a lot of fun and very challenging. Of course I will have to purchase somethings because I know I don’t have it laying around.

Read on to see a reference picture and see my plans…

“Are you troubled by strange noises in the middle of the night?
Do you experience feelings of dread in your basement or attic?
Have you or your family ever seen a spook, spectre or ghost?
If the answer is “yes,” then don’t wait another minute. Pick up the phone and call the professionals..”

But its only June?! Why are you posting about Halloween?

Yea its almost July and for us that means the beginning of halloween planning. Weird huh?

Ahh Twitter! To be honest I still don’t fully get the fascination everyone has with twitter. But I’m obviously wrong here, otherwise it wouldn’t be the big deal it is today.

I suppose if I lived in a larger city, had more friends and maybe a more active social life; I might have more use for it. Although having a blog might change that. Maybe I’m just a little antisocial or something.

BTW I currently do not have a twitter account for this blog, but I will soon and when I do I will make the annoucement, I hope I’m worth following. It could be quite the ego shattering experience.

So why are you posting about it? Well, they sure do have a nice development platform. And I just had to check it out!

While I’m learning silverlight behind the screen, I thought I’d put a little article together about setting up your development environment for the Facebook Development platform. This little example is for use with a PHP setup. Its really pretty easy and quick to get everything up and running. Just read the article and if you feel the need leave me some comment love.
