John Savio and Reko Rivera of Florida pay homage to the iPhone with their working “guyphone” Halloween costumes.  Completely ‘teched’ out with 42-inch flat screen TVs, powered by portable battery packs, Savio and Rivera spent over 90 hours crafting their costumes.

Upon viewing the video, a number of reactions swept through me:
the geek in me said, “WOW – that’s cool!”
the athlete in me said, “that’s gotta be heavy !”
the Mom in me said, “I hope they’re careful when dancing!”

But something else struck me – Savio and Rivera are an example of what can happen when people are fully-engaged.  From their initial inspiration, they put their skills, talents and energy to work in order to execute their idea flawlessly.  In an interview with a Florida newspaper, Rivera expressed:  ”We do what makes us happy…and this makes us happy.”

Fully-Engaged Indeed!
