Is your apartment a dark, depressing pit? You know, no windows, no natural light, all that good stuff? Sure, it’s a studio apartment in a basement in a lousy part of town, but hey, it’s only $175 a month! Who needs natural light when you’ve got a deal like that?

If you’ve made that sacrifice with your living situation, you could add some cheer to your place with this Reveal Light. Tricking you into feeling like there’s a bright window on one wall, it projects the outline of a window with a tree in it on whatever surface you point it at.

Will it really make your place feel like less of a claustrophobic pit? I’m not sure, but it certainly seems worth a shot before you completely turn into a hermit.

It goes on sale in April with a price that has yet to be announced. — Adam Frucci

The Germany based company, Not-So-Bright Sunwear, has taken the Swiss Army Knife concept to a whole new realm in the form of eye-wear. These sporty sunglasses come in a variety of colors and styles while maintaining comfort despite the massive amount of hardware attached to them.

They are certified 100% UV protected, polarized, rust resistant, as well as environmentally friendly. What really puts these glasses in a different league from others is the ability to be customized with over 263 tools and attachments, including a clever secondary sunglasses attachment in the event something should happen to the main pair.

Knives near your eyeballs? What could go wrong?

Valentine’s Day is just a few days away so if you don’t have plans for your significant other, Tulip Ego has your back with their special Love Edition laptop.

Considering how their previous notebooks did, we’re not expecting much, so you might be better off getting her something else.

Tetris Trivia:

Prolonged Tetris activity can also lead to more efficient brain activity during play. When first playing Tetris, brain function and activity increases, along with greater cerebral energy consumption, measured by glucose metabolic rate. As Tetris players become more proficient, their brains show a reduced consumption of glucose, indicating more efficient brain activity for this task.

Tetris has made its way into the media on several occasions. It was referenced prominently in the video-game oriented cartoon Captain N: The Game Master. It was also referenced in Muppet Babies episode “It’s Just a Pretendo”, The Simpsons episode “Strong Arms of the Ma”, Family Guy episode “Prick Up Your Ears”, and Futurama episode “Fear of a Bot Planet”. Commercials also occasionally parody the game. Police Academy: Mission to Moscow alluded to Tetris by depicting the Russians trying to hypnotize Americans through a puzzle video game referred to as “The Game” in the movie.

Several video games outside the falling blocks genre, including Zoda’s Revenge: StarTropics II, Asterix & Obelix XXL, God of War, Final Fantasy X, and Kya: Dark Lineage, have used puzzles involving tetrominoes, thought to have been inspired by Tetris.

The artist Sam Francis dedicated thirteen paintings to the Tetris game.
