Smallest Town In America: Population One Person
I can't decide if this is sad or kinda neat. As you see in that sign, the town of Monowi, Nebraska has a population of one person. Her name is Elsie Eiler, and she is 77 years old. Most of the town's buildings are crumbling down, and as you can imagine, it's very quiet and desolate.
The last even ...
LifeProof iPhone Case: Protects Your iPhone From Life
I think this might be one of the most practical and useful iPhone cases I've ever seen. After learning about this, I've decided I need a LifeProof case not only for my iPhone, but for me too. How cool would it be to put on a cover that would protect us from anything life throws at us?

The Value Of Being LinkedIn [Infographic]
Are you on LinkedIn? I realize that some people want to bonk me on the head just for asking that question. Since you are already logging into Twitter, Facebook and now Empire Avenue everyday, the last thing you need is an argument for being on yet another social networking site, right? I hear ya on ...
Illustration: A Unique Star Wars & Disney Mashup
As Richard pointed out in one of his articles recently, there seems to be a growing culture of designers and artists who love to do mashups. It doesn't really matter what kind of mashups, and the more unusual the better. Combining two very distinct and different movie or gaming concepts that would n ...
Wow! World’s Largest Model Airport Design
Since I'm on the Internet almost all day everyday, it's rare that I see something that impresses me as much as this does. On Bit Rebels, we've written about many different kinds of builds, some of which have taken two or three years to make, but I think I've found something that will trump every sin ...
The Lollipop Chair Made From Pure Sugar
Ahh... a chair made out of pure sugar. Could life get any sweeter than this? Too bad about that New York Times article last month, which said sugar might be toxic. I think I'm going to forget about that and dream of licking this chair till it's all gone. Ignorance is bliss, right?
The designer, P ...

How Americans Feel About The Osama Mission [Infographic]
I remember exactly where I was the morning of September 11, 2001. I was sitting on the floor of my living room with the television on. I was playing with my son who was not quite two years old at the time. These days, I don't watch TV, but back then; I watched the news in the mornings. I remember wh ...
Brotips: Redefining The Bro, One Tip At A Time
Over the years, I've heard guys call each other "bros." I've even see it on Twitter, but until today, I never knew exactly what a bro was. According to the Urban Dictionary, bros are "obnoxious partying males who are often seen at college parties. When they aren't making an ass of themselves they us ...
Brain Food: The Hardest Languages To Learn
Do you know what the hardest language to learn is? It turns out; the answer to that question depends on what your native language is. If a language is similar to your native language, it won't be as difficult for you to learn as it might be for someone else. Overall, languages are very complex, and ...
How To: Make Pop Rocks
Do you remember eating Pop Rocks as a kid? I do. It was like a chemistry experiment exploding in my mouth every time I ate them. I thought that eating Pop Rocks was just one of those things from the '80s that parents let us do, like riding in the car without a seat belt. You know, one of those thing ...
DIY Pancake Art: Perfect For Breakfast In Bed
Playing with food is fun, isn't it? It's one of those things we're told not to do when we're young, which may be why it's extra fun when we are adults. I remember last year when I wrote about Jim's Pancakes. Jim is a wonderful father who creates fun pancake designs for his daughter. When I look at s ...
Soft & Fuzzy: Creative Felt Designs
I love felt. I don't know what it is about it, but it's a great material. It's got the yin and the yang. It's soft, yet tough. It can be colorful or dull. It's so versatile you can wear it in the form of socks or clean your car with it. I would probably drape myself in felt if it were socially accep ...
Combating Global Warming: Simple Action Steps
I read something the other day that said most people don't understand what global warming is. The phrase itself, "global warming," has been used so much in so many different contexts over the past few decades that a lot of the meaning in those words has lost its punch.
In the spirit of bringing a ...
The Anatomy Of A Cupcake
There are two reasons why I'm writing about this topic today. The first is because I'm craving a cupcake, and since there are none within a ten-mile radius of where I am right now, I thought writing about them might make me feel better. The second reason is to highlight a data visualization trend we ...
