Spring's finally here, so what does that mean? The teaser of sun makes me automatically think of the coming Summer. Even though I'll be outside, spending less time gaming, there's no reason I can't take my geekiness outside, too - there are a myriad geeky ice cube trays! Why? Don't question it. Just appreciate it, and pick from one of the four trays for your Summer cocktails.

The retro Space Invaders have officially invaded everything - French Connection, your kitchen, and now they're in your drink, not just invading, but keeping it cool. How sweet of them!

The Space Invaders Ice Cube Trays ($8) look just like the pixelated aliens of video games past, and are ready to be cracked into a cool beverage at your next party.

What do you think of them? Would you ice a drink with these guys?

Lego Ice Cube Tray: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

There are very few universal truths, but one of them is the fact that geeks love Legos. A few months ago YumSugar introduced us to the Lego Lunchbox, which is undoubtedly the ideal carrier for any mathlete, science geek or Lego-loving kid out there, but not exactly appropriate for the adult crowd. Luckily, adults can revel in the Lego love with this LEGO Ice Brick Tray. It's only $7.99 and will produce bricks that can be slipped into summer time drinks or turned into sculptures. Are these too youthful and geeky for your kitchen, or do you think they'd be a fun addition to your next iced tea pitcher?

Tetris Ice Cube Trays: Love It or Leave It?

My first thought when I saw these Tetris ice cube trays was - do I have glasses big enough to play Tetris with my ice cubes? Dubbed Tetrice by Martin Zampach, these are a little more fleshed out than the Instructables version that yumsugar featured, but it's only a concept for now. Lets see, you could play a really freaking cold and low-tech version of the game, or pop 'em in a pitcher of drinks for your geeky guests, but I don't know that I'd buy these when I know I can make them. What do you think?

Happy Pi Day!

It's March 14, and any good geek knows what that means: It's Pi Day!

Yep, 3/14 corresponds to the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter (3.1415926535. . .).

If you're celebrating today (and why wouldn't you be?) then I've got the perfect way to celebrate: ThinkGeek's Pi-Tini!

Featured with their awesome Pi Ice Cube Trays ($9), it's the perfect cocktail recipe for the Pi-loving (and of age) geek!

Let Space Invaders Colonize Your Neck

When it comes to video game motifs making the leap from screen to accessory, Space Invaders has everybody beat.

Whether they're on a minidress, an ice cube tray, or even a cutting board, the pixelated characters remain a favorite.

The gold Space Invader Necklace by Han Cholo is a logical transition - it was only a matter of time before someone cast it in a precious metal (and yow, asked $165 for it).

I guess it would be great for your most formal geeky events, right?
