One of the problems with not having my blog available for a protracted period is that lots and lots of people will all forward me a URL that they know I'd enjoy reading-- and they're right, too, except that it gets a tad less enjoyable each time I'm directed to read it.
The Mac Bong, or iBong, is made from a water-filled bong mounted inside an old Mac SE 30. The bowl of the bong protrudes from the front of the computer, just below the screen. The mouthpiece sticks out the back. ... "My bong burnt bright," he wrote, "electrifying fractals dancing in the raging embers, smoke curling like a halo around my bowed and fatal head.... The restlessness of a millennium's solitude soared through my rushing blood, the roar of being alive skipping like a jumping spark through my brain."
See, if they'd made a bong out of a current iMac, the hallucinations would have looked like iTunes visuals. What they've really done is created an OS X emulator for the Mac SE/30.
(By the way, Kris assures everyone in earshot that the story of Apple's vaunted drug culture holds about as much water as this bong does.)
