The Baked Table: Now You Can Eat Your Fork & Napkin
Here in Atlanta, it's not uncommon to order soup inside of an edible bread bowl in a restaurant. However, before today, I've never seen an entire table wear set created from baked bread!

Star Trek Pizza Cutter! Boldly Cut Where No Man Has Cut Before!

Disturbing Art: Victorian Zombies With Severed Heads
I filed this under stuff that's completely twisted and disturbing yet interesting and intriguing. We've all seen these Victorian sculptures before, right?

Now Having A Laser Light Show For Your Party Is A Breeze!
I have produced several parties and events over the past six years. We have organized events that catered to small groups of 100 people all the way up to 5,000 guests in one night.

Technology: Band-Aids That Alert Us To Infection
Here we go again. Yep, this is another thing that I will be telling my grandchildren, "When I was little, we had to rip the band-aid off our cut to check to see if it was healing or infected. And it hurt!" At least, that's the way I remember it.
Some really smart and practical scientists at the ...
The Smartest Animal I’ve Ever Seen
Everything that I'm about to write is based on the assumption that the video below is real. It's so nuts to me that an octopus could do this, so I have to consider the fact that it's fake; however, for right now, I will assume it's for real.
So, we all get it that animals are smart, right? Afte ...
The Tunnel People: Could You Live Like This?

Little People: Tiny Art Installations To Inspire You
It seems like one of the trends in photography now is taking pictures of anything that is itty-bitty. Microscope photography has gotten a lot of attention in the past year, and that is really when I remember this trend starting.

So Analog: See Retro Media Storage Come Alive As Toys!
For the first time in a long time, again, I am completely inspired through every atom of my being. The reason for this is none other than the retro cool of old storage media.

Zero Footprint Shirts Made From Leaves
We write a lot on this site about ways we can conserve our natural resources and help the environment. Our beautiful earth is such a precious gift to us all, and sometimes I think we take that for granted.

$1,260 Costume: And You Thought You Were Cool!
This year I didn't get the opportunity to get on my Halloween mojo like I did last year (I was, like so many others I am sure, Hannibal Lecter), but I got to see so many cool costumes nontheless. Some were cute, some where scary, and some were just unidentifiable, but that's exactly what Halloween ...
Want A Unique Wedding? Say “I Do” In A Shark Tank!
I have an officemate who is getting married next year. Today we were discussing the theme, and the things she still needs to get done before her special day. Having organized a lot of events over a span of six years, I can say that it is the type of event that is detail oriented. The bride-to-be ...
