World’s Largest Working NES Controller
At first, I titled this article "World's Largest NES Controller." I had to go back and add the word "Working" because unlike many of the huge goofy NES controllers we've seen in the past, this one is actually functional! It's so big that the only way to control it is to stand on the buttons. Now the ...
Illustration: Pulp Fiction & The Simpsons Mashup
When I was growing up, there were two movies that I saw when I was too young.

Those two movies were Re ...

Edible City: Shanghai China Recreated In Bakery Sweets
A lot of times people ask me if I have a personal blog. I always just direct them here. Bit Rebels is not a personal blog per se; however, to me it kind of is. The reason I say that is because for both Misty and me, we chronicle our lives here. For example, if I'm hungry, I write about food. If I'm ...
8 Tips For Feeling Awake Without Caffeine
After reading Richard's article about latte art this morning, I started thinking about lattes. What exactly is a latte? I know I've never had a latte.

World’s Oldest Successful Supermodel At Age 82
As a woman, I know firsthand what it's like to feel pressured by society to look a certain way in order to be considered beautiful. The interesting thing to me is that as teenage girls, we actually believe that our beauty is wrapped up in how we look. As adults, we know better. We know that beauty c ...

How To: Make A Mathematically Correct Bagel
Do you know of people who think in terms of math equations all the time? I used to be that way. I've mentioned before that I dropped out of art class in high school so I could take an advanced calculus class instead. Now I'm just a geek, but back when I was a super geek, I used to think of everythin ...

We've featured a lot of creative alphabets on Bit Rebels before. If you are looking for a creative way to teach your ...
5 Types Of Annoying Facebook Users
I don't write as many articles about Facebook as Richard and Misty do. It's not that I don't like Facebook, but I was a Twitterholic long before I ever got on Facebook, and to me, there is simply no comparison. I hang out on Twitter all day long, but I only log into Facebook about once a week. Now t ...
