This Nerf gun will sense your presence and start shooting you. Then it won’t stop. No kid required. Hats off to the most extreme Nerf hack we’ve seen to date.
Congrats to Rick Prescott who outfitted his Nerf Vulcan with a thermo sensor and won the Make Magazine Gadget Freak Contest.

This is one of the most ambitious home-made bunk bed projects I have seen. Great detail. With not just two levels, but three levels of Star Wars fun. Just don’t wrap a rope around the legs – everyone knows that’s the best way to knock these things over.

Unless vinyl makes a huge comeback, our kids are as likely to get hands on with a record player as we are with wax cylinders. This is an awesome concept I’d love to get my kids’ hands on. And it wouldn’t matter if they messed it up.

When fashion designers want to add some surf sensibility into their collection, they often just throw in a couple of Hawaiian prints and palm trees. But not Proenza Schouler. For their latest collection, the designing outfit collaborated with Ken Trinder, the surfboard specialist from the Shire Board Company, to create a surfboard that is also a work of art – and that’s before Proenza Schouler added their vibrant wave graphic. Shire boards are handcrafted in Virginia out of MARKO foam, carbon fiber, and epoxy resin. The result is not only a visually stunning board, but also one that is designed first and foremost with the surfer in mind. This board was in the window of Kirna Zabete last week, and was quickly snatched up for $3500. Yes $3500 for a surfboard. Shire surfer/shaper Ken Trinder hopes that it was purchased by a surfer and not someone who’s just gonna hang it on their wall. Yes, it’s art. But this is art you are supposed to ride.

This one goes out to all the truck loving “kids” out there. This looks photoshopped, but its not. Its part of a new series, “Heavy Haulers.” Take that Bob the Builder.
