As part of its ongoing commitment to promote healthy vision, VSP Vision Care, the nation€™s largest provider of eyecare, has tapped Bill Nye The Science Guy (yup, he's back!) to bust some common myths about eyes and vision in a series of fun videos: EyeFiles. In this video, Bill debunks the myth that wearing other people's glasses damages your our eyesight (remember your mom's warning before recess?)
So in the spirit of geekiness (Bill's specs certainly fit the bill), VSP wants to give you your own pair of geek chic glasses! To enter for a chance to win, leave your favorite part of the video in the comments. One randomly selected commenter will be officially made geek chic care of VSP. Good luck!Hot In The Hive: Tom Binns Quotation Stud Earrings

As someone who practically lives online (okay, that just sounds pathetic... how about someone who just types a lot), I take pleasure in fashionable pieces or accessories that find clever ways to poke fun at the modern geek-chic side in all of us. Unlike more kitschy items like Space Invaders socks or iChat pillows, these Tom Binns Quotation Stud Earrings, available at Shopbop, are quirky in a subtle way that doesn't outwardly yell "I'm a total dweeb and I don't care who knows it!" Not like there's anything wrong with that; I'm just saying these studs can actually be worn without embarrassment outside the privacy of your Tetris-decorated apartment. Plus, they'd go great with your gold-plated Twitter necklace (or not)!
