Some Other Dude Makes BoingBoing With My Costume Idea
This? This just hurts.
Honestly, I have little qualms that this guy made his own version. In fact, I think it’s kind of cool that my idea excited other people to create their own variations. And Jack did post links to both my blog entry and the entry on Make’s blog.
When it comes down to it, I’m bummed out that Boing Boing decided to highlight his costume and not mine. This took a bit of the wind out of my sails, seeing this today.
I was pretty excited when the Make blog posting occurred, and I had high hopes of my costume making it onto Boing Boing. True famewhore that I am, my inner geek is a little saddened that Jack’s getting all the Boing Boing love.
Jack’s version is really pretty darn impressive. While I wasn’t after trying to replicate the game, I think his attention to detail (particularly the pieces) is something else – it must have taken him ages to make his version. I still argue though, that my candy version is more fun. :)
Hey – on the plus side, I’m getting a fair amount of traffic to my site. Hopefully, folks will browse around some, and be entertained enough to come back regularly. If nothing else, it’s always great to get more readers.
I mentioned the famewhore thing, right?
