Turn your bookshelf into a beautiful display of pixelated icons. Great DIY idea from Icoeye, they even have a pixel dust-jacket template available in PDF. While you’re at it, grab a piece of the Clicking Kitchen Grip plus the ThinkGeek 8-bit Tie and you can start living in Mushroom Kingdom.

Someone has found the Higgs Boson! All this time it’s been hiding in The Particle Zoo. It’s grey and in the shape of a star with a big smile across its face. In fact you can pick one up from Zookeeper Julie Peasley. Good luck on the shipping though, as they are quite “massive”, at least in theory! …ahem!

Anyways, not a big fan of Particle Physics but still want your geeky plush toy? No worries. You can always find your favourite GIANTmicrobe that comes with their own birth certificate microscopic image.

I don’t know if everyone has noticed already but we recently received and made available for sale the Chain Bottle Holder. Regardless of age groups, the bottle holder is sure to impress just about anyone who hasn’t seen it before. The gravity defying optical illusion makes the Chain Bottle Holder appear as though the wine bottle is floating in the air.

Available now at the Vidafine shop.

Wow. So after 20 years of having the same recognizable opening title sequence, The Simpsons has finally succumbed to the High Definition revolution. Although for the most part, it hasn’t changed drastically, but I’ve been having mixed feelings after seeing this. On one hand, it’s great that they’ve adapted to the ever changing landscape of TV production quality. On the other hand however, I just feel as though I’ve been so accustomed to seeing the old opening for the past 20 years that it just doesn’t seem right.

Let us know how you guys feel about this.

Our first little feature on the Toronto Star. Hopefully they will continue to show love in the future. Thanks Toronto Star!

This is just too… mechanical to be true?!

Literally the day we got this thing, all of us hovered around to put it together and spent a good half hour watching the big wheel turn as precious time passes by…

There’s nothing typical about this wall clock. Yeah, everyone is used to the minute and the hour hands rotating on their timepieces, but this design from Kikkerland is a wall clock that operates inversely, with a rotating face!

For those who happen to be lacking wall space, check out the desktop version down below, which is just as impressive! Look for these two in the Vidafine shop as early as next week!
