Mean Green Machine: A Freaky Xbox 360 Console Mod
There are game console modders, and then there is Kier. His motto is, "Why keep it standard if you can modify it?" This particular mod looks like the Hulk, and it's just as intimidating to me. What Kier is able to do with a couple of white Xbox 360s is truly mind-blowing. The clear acrylic panel on ...

Everyone who knows us here at Bit Rebels knows that we love to celebrate geeks, promote geeks and write about everything that has to do with being a geek.

The Bacon Font: A Uniquely Delicious Alphabet
Even after writing at least a dozen articles about bacon, I'm still baffled by our fascination with it. I admit that I am a true bacon lover, and I can put away a pound of bacon like it was nobody's business, but our obsession with bacon goes beyond just eating it. I remember it started back around ...
Stylish Shoes Molded From Recycled Cardboard
When I was doing research for this article, I learned a lot about cardboard with regards to recycling. There are two types of cardboard. The first is what's called corrugated cardboard, and it's the type of cardboard we normally see things packed in for shipping. It has that lightweight ruffled laye ...

How Google Affects Our Memory [Infographic]
I remember back towards the beginning of the year when Chris Pirillo and Danny Brown both wrote articles about how social media is, in a sense, making us lazy. They started a whole online conversation about it, and many other blogs weighed in with their opinions on the subject.
The story kind of ...
Chocolate Covered Deep Fried Triple Double Oreos
Oh. My. Gosh. In case you've been living under a rock, you may not know that last month Triple Double Oreos hit the shelves at the supermarket. I've never seen a cookie get so much PR before. The Internet blew up about it, and even the most usually reserved websites got all gitty. These cookies aren ...
This Geeky Kickass NES Mod Makes Me Hot & Heavy
Is it weird that I get so excited over a well-done, glossy, geeky NES mod? I hope not. We see a lot of these mods, but rarely are they as nicely done as this. The last time I saw an NES mod that was this cool was the one that was turned into a fabulous to-die-for lunchbox. If you want to see that on ...
Poor Little Trees: Cut Down Forest Trees With Sad Faces
Trees are living things, and each time one gets cut down, it's a little sad. Some trees grow for decades to become the huge natural masterpieces we sometimes see when we take a walk in the woods. I think that is one reason why I love hiking and camping so much, seeing that natural beauty never gets ...
Inspiration: A Tea Bag Package Folds Into An Origami Cup
Someday, when I learn how to make my own infographics, I'm going to design one about the difference between tea drinkers and coffee drinkers. I hope it will be as insightful and funny as this one about cat people and dog people. Since I work with Richard all day, maybe I notice it more than most peo ...
Miracle Of Nature: Close Up Photographs Of Animal Eyes
I think eyes are one of the most interesting parts of the human body. I also think that using a Freelance Invoice Receipt Template is a great thing, just to note. Everything about them from the science behind how we get our eye color to these close up photographs of eyes are just a miracle if you as ...
World’s Largest Piece Of Sushi On A Restaurant Menu
I love sushi. I could eat it everyday. It's right up there with chicken wings in my book, which are pretty high on my list. How would you like to go into a restaurant and order a piece of sushi the size of this? My question is, how would a person eat this? It's not like you can pop it in your mouth ...
10 Crazy Creepy Crocheted Masks
I remember back in the spring I wrote about a website called Brutal Knitting dedicated to very scary and creepy knitted masks and hats by designer Tracy Widdess. I don't know if it's Tracy who actually gets the credit for coming up with such a creative idea, but it seems there is another artist on t ...
Taste Your Words: The Hydraulic Drink Mixing Typewriter
Now this is a drink making machine that would make William Shakespeare proud... nah, how about Charles Dickens or Mark Twain... no, still not right, how about J.K. Rowling... now that's what I'm talkin about! Now you can type out a literary masterpiece and then drink those words right up.

Your Life Before & After The Internet Goes Down [Humor]
What do you do when your Internet goes down? We've already seen the scientific study which determined that Americans go crazy even when their Internet is slow (it took official research to figure that out?), but what about if it goes out altogether? Richard and I always joke about who has the better ...
Twitterholic Ladies: Elegant Hand Painted Satin Twitter Pumps
Now that we have all been thrust into social media, and we under its spell like a bunch of drones, getting married has gotten even more complicated. I wonder if anyone has ever written into his or her marriage vows, "I promise to always log off Twitter whenever you want my attention." Screw that! I ...
