The next time your son begs you for a fingerboard skate park, try not to laugh in his face. Instead, be more considerate. Perhaps his new hobby will eventually lead to him going pro and becoming sponsored and thus earning him a living doing what he loves.

Of course, you don’t want to settle for the cheap plastic junk Tech Deck sells, so Peter Thomsen of Instructables demonstrates step-by-step how to make a concrete fingerboard skate park. Your kid will be the talk of the town. That is, if he possesses the strength to carry this thing around with him.

I’m a huge whiskey and scotch drinker, so when I heard that using non-spherical ice cubes in your glass causes the liquor to become watered down easily, I immediately snapped into action. I found out that Taisin, a relatively unheard-of Japanese company, has a device that forms ice into perfect spheres, creating a better surface-area/volume ratio.

Dubbed The Ice Mold, you can score the brass contraption in 50, 65, 70 and 80mm sizes. It can crank them out pretty quickly too, meaning your dinner party won’t suck as much this time around. If your hands get cold after making a few ice balls, you can always use your USB Hand Warmer to bring back the heat.

There’s really no words that can express how thoroughly revolting this product is. The Turd Twister starter kit (is there an advanced kit?!) comes with 10 popular designs and shapes that you can mold your excrement into.

Why would anyone want to use this? Please tell us this is meant as a gag gift and nothing more. Or we might have to vomit profusely now. — Andrew Dobrow

Tired of your old beat up iPod case? The 45 iPod case is like nothing we have ever seen. Like the name might suggest, the product is an old 45 molded to perfectly house your iPod. Not personalized enough for you? Send in your own 45 and they’ll mold it for you. While we wouldn’t recommend sending in a rare EP you spent months tracking down, an old scratched copy of Cat Scratch Fever should be enough.

The design of the 45 Case is actually really cool. Utilizing the records center whole for access to the click wheel. So you want one yourself? The retail cost is only $45. Add $7.00 if you plan on shipping in your own record. Let your iPod stand out! — Andrew Dobrow
