Shelving shaped like Tetris bricks!












Remember how you'd play Tetris for five hours solid and then, when you lay down in bed at night, couldn't stop seeing the blocks falling in your mind? Make that sensory hallucination a reality with this excellent Tetris shelving -- wall units that are shaped like the infamous bricks! You actually buy each "brick" individually and assemble them in whatever configuration you want. As the designers, Brave Space, describe them:

This pack flat version of our Tetris Shelving ships to your door and assembles in minutes. With wooden sides and a metal backing, the Tetris Flat is a modular lightweight unit. Blocks can be attached to one another, to the wall or left free floating for life-sized, living room game play. And no, the bottom line doesn't disappear when you make that perfect configuration.

I am so getting these for my kid's bedroom.


(Thanks to Sensory Impact for this one!)

Back when I was living in a house with a bunch of grad students, many, many evenings were lost to 4-way Tetris on the N-64. One day, I took a stack of those flat pizza-coupon fridge magnets, covered them with colored paper, and carved them into Tetris pieces. Voila -- fridge Tetris!

Bud, yes, eh?

Bret -- I love it! Has anyone ever tried to actually market Tetris fridge magnets?

Yay for hyperconsumerism. Fridge magnets, whether with words, shapes, or pictures, are easier (and certainly more fun) to make than buy.

(Sometimes the entire fridge is fun to make! Last Halloween, my gf and I turned a couple of unsuspecting cardboard boxes into fairly convincing refrigerator costumes, complete with magnetized surfaces and plenty of hand-drawn magnets.)
