Lumen creator Ross Zhuravskiy (call him "Rost") is my new favorite person. Watch his video, I think you'll see what I mean. Then check out his touch-operated flashlight powered entirely by its toucher's body heat, and...

Have you been searching for the perfect blueprint light? Me too. And wow. This 16-color LED desk lamp went with the Millennium Falcon as its subject! I thought I was going to be stuck with, like, the White House or some...

The Oak Bottle is barrel aging for people who are pressed for time, poor planners, or simply of the Veruca Salt persuasion: Daddy, I want a bottle of whiskey custom-infused with complex oak-aged flavors, and I want it...

Do your kids keep pestering you to get a dog? Then set up Bones here in their bedroom one night. And just as they settle in, as you've shut the door and headed back to the couch--flick!--on goes the timer controlling...

Why The Pint? Because you're the outdoorsy, trekking-through-the-woods, fishing-in-the-streams, sleeping-under-the-stars type, and sometimes your hike / catch / little prayer before bed goes better with a long drink of...not...

Oh. Boy. Fresh. Sodie. Coming home to a Keurig Kold crisp Coke made to order is like waking up at 11 a.m. on the morning Daylight Savings Time ends and finding out you can sleep for another hour and still make it to Chicken...

It's October, which means Halloween is coming, which means it's the one time of year you don't have to be re-enacting an 80s music video to use a fog machine in your home. (Not that re-enacting an 80s music video isn't...

Chaos is an area of mathematics that studies complex systems and the mind-blowing effects seemingly small, inconsequential changes can have on them. Dr. Ian Malcolm used one example of the Chaos in action, the Butterfly...

These Peep n' Peepers flashing eyes Halloween lights aren't very scary, but I think they're the right amount of scary for trick-or-treating kids you don't want to watch cry hysterically or have a screaming meltdown at...

Remember how your mama always taught you to share your toys and give to those less fortunate than you were? Remember how much it sucked? Your bratty cousin Georgie getting to play with all your best GI Joes, and your...

Blackbird's Rider is a showy guitar, but unlike these crazy designs, it's still more about sound than show. Six nylon strings stretch across a carbon fiber body to create a dark, dramatic instrument true to its maker's...

Pretty Chinese rings, pretty gnarly applications. This stack of Kung Fu Power Magic Rings fans out to create a 4-wide set of individual inscribed adornments for Pointer, Tall Man, Ring Man, and Pinky. That's the pretty...

If I liked my mama's neighbor's fat cat Willard I would buy this cat house for him. As it stands though, he's a jerk so I don't really care if he gets cold while he's stalking robins in my mama's yard this winter. For...

I think Cactus Coasters would make the perfect present for a woman who's: A) your boss or B) your girlfriend of 2 months of less. They're cute, creative, and clever--all the Cs of a thoughtful lady-gift--but not so personal...

Zero Toys has got all markets cornered with its Smoke Ring Blaster. Kids. Halloween. Office shenanigans. And one that never would have occurred to me until I saw the above video: golden retrievers. I'm loath to admit...

You might not be able to flip it back on at Christmas like the Illuminator light projector, but Gemmy's Fire & Ice spotlight is about half the cost for twice the evil. Its orange LEDs shine through a crystallized dome...

Smiley, spooky, glow-y, and eco-friendly to boot. This optical illusion 3D Skull Light is USB-powered and fitted with LED bulbs able to burn in a spectrum of colors that blaze through an intricate grid of laser-cut acrylic...

If I took down the entirety of this 20-pack of Jell-O shot syringes myself I wonder if I'd be retching all the colors of the rainbow more from the cheap Popov vodka or the dense mixture of high fructose corn syrup and...

Big performance in a tiny package. This USB 3.0 flash drive from SanDisk can write up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 drives. That means transferring things like full-length films is possible in less than 40 seconds...

Is there a word for when something is equal parts disturbing and smokin' hot? That's what I'd like to call the image of this lady wearing Dragon Spikes. Their mutant effect is remarkable, somewhere between mythical miracle...

Although this Jabba the Hutt looks more huggable than creepy, I still think he wins the Halloween Inflatable Lawn Ornament Contest for 2015. He's way cooler than a smiley 12' spider, and on par with the Peeping Creeper...

First thing's first: if you want to see what's so special about Rhei, fast forward to 1:50 in the above video to bypass the dramatic buildup and jump straight to the action flow...

Whoa. Enter Sandman. I wonder how many days I would be banished to the couch if I left this screaming man traveling through time, space, and pillow case for my girlfriend to find when she goes to bed tonight. I think...

What we have here is a state-of-the-art encryption machine. At least state-of-the-art as the state of art was just prior to WWI. During the United States' period of conflict with Mexico eventual father of cryptology...
