Being a geek myself, I carve my pumpkins each year in the shape of my dog (without a stencil), and turn them into Halloween cards, two of which are shown below. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxdWDRh7bcHGPrG9wuYQcxRTvUIFaImiYrCtLzDsbaLDhhFs5zM2cjfpuKrRtJfCVj0JI1izskAFiy8B65VQsu5ao0eU7fyPpfvPhiKh-qM35Vw7wfG4RRRzQi5BZHbBGlJ4IuYrI2ui8z/s1600-h/abbey+pumpkin+card.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258205795524971650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxdWDRh7bcHGPrG9wuYQcxRTvUIFaImiYrCtLzDsbaLDhhFs5zM2cjfpuKrRtJfCVj0JI1izskAFiy8B65VQsu5ao0eU7fyPpfvPhiKh-qM35Vw7wfG4RRRzQi5BZHbBGlJ4IuYrI2ui8z/s400/abbey+pumpkin+card.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 255px; height: 257px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLWFQEeWU686fdhAdva_4Aei9qtPwqnaUSWSxNIJerZ3u6ueMnZrC_Wzt_HIW2ULhZgfLAgPyioZJkobfzI8-oCN3vaCIezGFtZwh0xvYN1eieVHMS-_-M-URdq2WiTx3CEuGgBX1O7Qz9/s1600-h/abbeypumpkin05.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258205661995190402" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLWFQEeWU686fdhAdva_4Aei9qtPwqnaUSWSxNIJerZ3u6ueMnZrC_Wzt_HIW2ULhZgfLAgPyioZJkobfzI8-oCN3vaCIezGFtZwh0xvYN1eieVHMS-_-M-URdq2WiTx3CEuGgBX1O7Qz9/s400/abbeypumpkin05.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 257px; height: 257px;" /></a> More and more carving pumpkins seem to be inspired by technology and sci-fi. Each year tons of pictures are uploaded to flickr, sent to Wired magazine and blogged about by tech nerds everywhere. Below is an impressive collection 'Star Wars' inspired pumpkins from 2007 (you really should click on the image to enlarge it): <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhde_zb_H4YGTTK0gQxw6BSPv1nFTIugCLa-AmCM5Fa1Bhrev6wqrqmcJ05Ul-xjoqvuDWKoM54mEovvhplXFiQ1EnEO4r-XSNwRIUzapJ-GAUqYicdXK7t2K8YFlkjSMkkm9mzsgzUstkH/s1600-h/274893489_b29c3cde91_b.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258201464517156210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhde_zb_H4YGTTK0gQxw6BSPv1nFTIugCLa-AmCM5Fa1Bhrev6wqrqmcJ05Ul-xjoqvuDWKoM54mEovvhplXFiQ1EnEO4r-XSNwRIUzapJ-GAUqYicdXK7t2K8YFlkjSMkkm9mzsgzUstkH/s400/274893489_b29c3cde91_b.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 531px; height: 398px;" /></a> And , of course, the Death Star pumpkin: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimm9v12P3jXcbzlRgYp7C_U2R3fhh8G2YXkVq-CNoDAg3fqQXAAjE9V0RUzZnBs_r4TssSb75vpSTPYoBfd8UYdvpxA0nTEiLC7YHYgtiWxH1V9lpLeHQkqkGdWgdygnsOKRCE8JoLXK2H/s1600-h/deathstar1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258198729702713266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimm9v12P3jXcbzlRgYp7C_U2R3fhh8G2YXkVq-CNoDAg3fqQXAAjE9V0RUzZnBs_r4TssSb75vpSTPYoBfd8UYdvpxA0nTEiLC7YHYgtiWxH1V9lpLeHQkqkGdWgdygnsOKRCE8JoLXK2H/s400/deathstar1.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 529px; height: 489px;" /></a> Wanna carve your own death star pumpkin? <a href="http://www.fantasypumpkins.com/carving-the-deathstar.htm">here's a tutorial for you.</a> I was sent a round up of carved jack o' lanterns that would appeal to the tech set, sci-fans or just plain 'geeks' from reader Eran Abramson that are worth taking a peek at. It's clear he found several from <a href="http://blog.wired.com/underwire/2007/10/show-us-your-ge.html">last year's WIRED magazines "show us your geeky pumpkins" contest</a> (which, by the way, received over 2000 entries).
