Beard Beanie: The Geeky Way To Keep Your Face Warm
I remember when I wrote about the Snuggie For Geeks last year. Up until now, I never thought I would see anything more ridiculously geeky for people to wear to stay warm. I found something today though that I think beats that snuggie hands down.
I'd like to present to you the beard hat a.k.a. the ...
World Record In Stiletto Racing (Yeah, It’s Possible)
I love high heels. I've been wearing them for years.

However, I'm not going to lie, it takes practice to get used to wearing them. You have t ...

According to Coroflot, "It's played ...
Around The World: Government Officials & Their Desks
When I think of bureaucracy, I think of outdated rigid rules, tons of paperwork, and tight budgets. I have compassion for people who can work as civil servants and remain inspired enough to make it all happen in their respective cities. Every time I go into a government office here in Atlanta, I'm i ...
Facts You Probably Didn’t Know About The Nintendo Company
I'm sure you know by now that we love Nintendo on Bit Rebels. We write about it a lot, and we've covered everything from the original NES all the way up to the Wii.

Creative Photography: Dramatic Effects Of Red & Black
Earlier this month, I wrote an article called The Beauty Of Selective Color Photography. It highlighted the photography technique which involves converting a photo to black and white, but leaving some parts of it in color. It's truly a stunning effect.

There has been a lot of controversy about sugar over the past few decades. Among other things, we've heard that eating too much sugar causes diabetes. Then we were told that it doesn't cause diabetes, but it causes obesity, which is linked to diabetes. There are those affected that need a continuous ...
Make A Functional Star Trek Door For Your Home
I love Star Trek doors. You don't have to be a Trekkie to know which doors I'm talking about. I was trying to figure out today what it is about those doors that makes them so cool. I think a big aspect of it is the way they sound. That woooooooosh sound when it opens is so geeky, and it always puts ...
Study Reveals Technology Makes Us Stressed Out
I remember several months ago when I wrote an article about a study that showed Americans go crazy when their Internet is slow. At the time I wrote that, I wondered if that was a good representation for people around the world, or if it was just another example of how us Americans can be impatient a ...
Wow! Snowflakes Under A Microscope
I've always been inspired by snowflakes. To me, they are like little specks of magic when they fall from the sky. Since it doesn't snow much in Atlanta, I don't get to see snowflakes very often. I remember in January I wrote 5 Lessons A Snowflake Can Teach Us About Blogging on a day when it snowed h ...
10 Creative Caricatures That Each Tell A Story
I've always been fascinated by artists that can create caricatures. We all know that a caricature is a portrait that distorts or exaggerates the essence of the person being drawn. The artist somehow has to choose which feature to distort and change, yet keep the likeness similar enough so that the p ...
The Periodic Table Of Swearing
I'll admit that I have a potty mouth every now and then. There are certain situations in life when we just have to let the expletives fly, don't you agree? For example, I've been known to drop a periodic F-bomb when Twitter is down, when getting dental work done, or when my computer crashes and I lo ...
