Maybe it is all the candy or maybe it is getting to play dress up, but for sure I have always liked pumpkin carving. Though, I haven’t gotten to do much of it myself. I only have the vaguest memory of carving a pumpkin as a child, and the last time Matt and I tried to carve one together it turned into an class on Matt’s perfection in everything. Don’t get me wrong, we had an amazing pumpkin, but I wasn’t really allowed to help.  So, to make up for it this year, Matt and I got a pumpkin from Dougherty orchards, and I got to be in charge of carving it. After careful thought, and some suggestions from friends, I decided to buck Halloween tradition and carve a Ubuntu pumpkin. For those of you non-Linux geeks. Ubuntu is the name of a Linux distribution. For more on Linux and Ubuntu specifically, check out my old blog post.

I am quite pleased with how the pumpkin turned out and think the Ubuntu logo looks quite like it is supposed to. I will admit that Matt helped slightly by scraping out the seeds from inside the pumpkin (who knew there were so many of those dastardly things in there) and bandaging up my finger after I cut it on the sink drainer while cleaning up the pumpkin. But otherwise I carved the whole pumpkin myself.

Now for what you have all been waiting for… photos of my pumpkin:
