Tis the season to rip a gourd from the garden and whip out the ole carving knife. Try to stretch your mouth around this pumpkin carving. My favorite part has to be the pumpkin seeds replacing the sesame seeds. While this might not be a “traditional” pumpkin carving, I think the finished result is even cooler, and certainly more appetizing, ...

This is some extreme papercrafting. David Brownings created these pretty realistic-looking kicks using nothing but colored paper. I’d actually rock them if I knew they’d last longer than a few steps.

Ahh, it’s nice to be reminded of home. Unfortunately this skateboard reminds me of my roof, rather than my cozy couch. How awesome would it be to build a roof using only skateboard? Designer Devin Barette created several artsy skateboards, including the Shingled Skateboard, for an art show and auction to raise money for charity. Link [via]

Every year around Halloween I go on a serious sugar bender. There’s something about this season that fuels the five-year-old inside of me. The problem is that I can literally look at a slice of cake and gain five pounds. So while this Game Boy cake looks extra scrumptious with its M&M Tetris design goin’ on, I think I might ...

Only available in kids’ sizes. WHYYYYYYY?! This awesome hoodie transforms your elbows into fantastical dinosaur jaws, ready to om nom your parents or teacher. This would also make a killer tattoo idea. Link

They totally stole my idea! Featuring multi-tiered zombie madness, the wedding cake toppers on this baked bad boy are desperately trying to be wed in holy matrimony before their brains are devoured. But will they make it in time? Next week on When Baked Zombies Attack! Link

Pencils aren’t just for writing anymore (who physically writes anymore anyway?). 72 pencils is a geometric sculpture using, well, 72 multi-colored pencils to construct a work of art. There are only a limited edition 25 signed models available, each offering a unique piece of pencil sculpting. Link [via]

Don’t like thinking about how many times your dad’s hairy balls have thrust up against the coffee table as your mom reached climax? Sorry for the image, but that’s the price you have to pay. No toll-free roads here. This Interactive Ripple Table features 480 super-bright white LEDs and 24 active and passive near-infrared optical sensors that react to both ...

Try to do an ollie on this bad boy without breaking any keys. Now that sounds like an interesting new challenge for the X-Games. The Skatekeyboard combines the art of skating with the geekery of keyboarding. Can you skateboard and type a complete sentence with your feet at the same time? Tony Hawk has a new art to perfect now. ...
