Sometimes it is nice to just hang out with the guys and do manly things. My friends and Iparty.

built a catapult to throw pumpkins at the company Halloween party.

We named it the "PMD", the Pumpkin of Mass Destruction. The only problem was that people kept having a hard time finding it.

It was a real team effort to build the catapult. It took us a weekend to build. We used 430 pounds of counterweight and could throw a 3 pound pumpkin up to 210 feet.

Here is what a pumpkin looks like after it has been thrown a few hundred feet. Channel 5 news came out and filmed us. They put a 10 second clip of us throwing a pumpkin on the 6 o'clock news.

Building the catapult will probably go down as one of my best memories of this year. It was really great work together with my friends on such a cool project.
