I rarely give any reviewed product the “awesomesauce” in the title of the review. But the Gunnar Anime Onyx glasses does deserve it. To put it short and simple, these glasses are designed for long computer-usage. They refrain the amount of brightness seen on the screen, and turn that light into natural light, using several technologies that Gunnar has patented and/or has found in a variety of sunglasses/prescriptions. The end result is less eye strain, a smaller chance of migraines, along with well-lubricated eyes that could take several hours of computer usage without take a major beating to the optical nerves and/or the retina. As you might know, at the age of 14 I do spend quite a while in front of tablets, smartphones, computers, and just about anything else with a screen. So I do get eye strain (on occasion). And it is very annoying. So when I found out that Gunnars existed, and that my friends at ThinkGeek were willing to send me a pair for review, I decided it’s time to get locked and loaded.

Review after the break.

Sent in by my friend(s) at ThinkGeek for review come the BuckyBalls: rare earth magnetic balls that come in a cube which consist of 216 BuckyBalls. The magnetic grade of the BuckyBalls is N35 and measure 5mm in diameter, each. A standard set of balls costs $30 and their main purpose is being a time-waster — which they definitely are. I’ve had way too much fun building all sorts of things with the BuckyBalls, and since they’re rather difficult to use, can act as a form of light brain exercise as well, since you’re constantly trying to find ways to build something using little magnetic sphere that measure only 5mm, making it challenging, too. Totally worth it and super fun; just don’t lose any of them, since that seems rather easy. Other than that, there’s no real minuses to the BuckyBalls: they just work and are fun. Score: 10/10
