World’s Most Expensive Diamond Encrusted iPad
I think it's always fun to write about pimped out technology. This time I'm not referring to it being pimped out in features, but rather pimped out in sparkling diamonds. Unless it's a special occasion, I'm not much of a bling bling kind of girl, but to some people, everything has to be luxurious, e ...
Emergency Toilet Design Created For People In Japan
As of today, it's been three months since the devastating earthquake and tsunami hit Japan. We don't see as many bloggers writing about it anymore, and the articles being spread around in social media are becoming few and far between. However, that doesn't mean everything is okay in Japan now.

The 100 Greatest Movie Badasses Of All Time
My absolute favorite movies of all time are the ones that feature supreme badasses.

Expert Driving Techniques Everyone Needs To Know
Remember when everyone used to ask for fun, "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" Then CNN, MSNBC and most of the other news websites published the definitive answer, as determined by some obviously very smart scientists. The egg came first.

I just couldn't resist writing about it. This has ...
Delicious New Trend: Websites Created Out Of Chocolate
I have a trend alert for you, and it tastes delicious! Have you ever seen a chocolate website? I'm not referring to a website that sells chocolates or that is designed to look like chocolate. I'm talking about a website that is actually made out of chocolate. It seems like a bizarrely wonderful conc ...
Design Inspiration: Elegant Shoes Made From Paper
When I logged into Bit Rebels this morning to start writing, I got that uneasy feeling that something was missing from the site. At first I couldn't put my finger on what it was. After several minutes passed, I figured it out. It was SHOES! I have written dozens of articles about creative shoes, but ...
10 Purchases That Might Indicate A Midlife Crisis
Recently someone I know suddenly sold her house and gave away almost all her possessions. It was such a bizarre move, and to me, seemed very out of character. She is about 50 years old, and when I was telling my friend about it, she said, "It sounds to me like she is having a midlife crisis." I was ...
Social Media Asking: Our Newest Twitter & Facebook Habit
I consider myself to be a very tolerant person, so there are not very many things in social media that irritate me. Of course all the mafia family, twit validation and auto DMs immediately get deleted each day, but that's not really annoying. It's more like simple housekeeping.
One thing I've not ...
May The Fork Be With You: The Geek Way To Eat Corn
This little idea by Shed Simove was originally created to encourage kids to eat their corn. All I can say is, forget the kids; I want one of these for myself. This design is called Cornobi (as in Obi Wan Cornobi). As you can see, it's corn on the cob transformed into a dangerously fun lightsaber.

How To: Get Rid Of iPhone Pocket Syndrome
A few decades ago, many people had "Pack-Of-Cigarettes Pocket Syndrome." Remember that? These days, it's "iPhone Pocket Syndrome."

United States: 50 State Stereotypes [Humor]
This is hilarious to me because if you live in the United States, you know there are stereotypes that accompany each state. I'm not a fan of stereotypes when they refer to individual people because they can be hurtful and damaging, but I'm all over it when it refers to a whole State because it's jus ...
Men vs. Women: Our Favorite Colors Based On Gender
Color, or the lack of it, is such a huge part of our lives. People spend a lot of time learning how to manipulate colors for photographs, or how to mix just the right colors for paint.
