Technology: The Next Generation Baby Monitor Is Here
Most people I know who have a baby also have a baby monitor. Here in this country, they've become a standard piece of equipment to have when welcoming a new baby home. I remember when my son was born ten years ago; a baby monitor consisted of a plastic box that sat on top of the dresser in the bab ...
This New iPad Controller Gives You Gaming Domination
Do you have an iPad yet? I have a couple of friends abroad that just recently got theirs. Well, guess what? Congratulations on getting one, but now all the focus is on the iPad 2. It's like we've always said here, technology moves so fast that the moment you get a gadget and figure out all the f ...
How To: Tie Your Shoes Really Fast
It's true that our world is getting busier and busier each day. We want everything to be fast. We have fast computers, we eat fast food, we drive fast cars and we even communicate with our friends in the fastest ways possible.
So, why do we buy shoes with laces that take so long to tie? I'm no ...
Hiding Your Facebook Page Could Be A Bad Idea
The more time that goes by, the more I realize that we really do need a "WTF" category on Bit Rebels. Some people in the world are craaaaaaaaazy, and I just love writing about them. We've all heard stories about how people can get a little nuts when it comes to their offline and online lives colli ...
The Ultimate Time Capsule: Geeks from the 1960s
I am totally a product of the 70s and mostly the 80s; however, I have often told friends of mine that I wish I had grown up the 60s. There is just something about that time that seems so happy and free. It's the whole psychedelic, love everyone, peace, flowers and rockin music that I'm attracted t ...
Turn Your iPhone Into An EKG Machine!
Is there anything an iPhone can't do? I mean, seriously. The CyanogenMod based on the Android operating system blows my mind; however, it all comes down to the user experience, which in most cases, unless you are a technology geek, means apps, right? Maybe someday soon (I hope) having an Android ...
New Service Deletes Your Online History With Ease
If you've been messing around on the Internet for as long and as much as I have, then you probably have information out there that you either forgot you entered on some random site or that you no longer want out there but can't get rid of.
To make it even more complicated, why is it that so many ...
National Geographic: The World’s Population & Our Planet
Did you know that in 2011, the world's population will reach 7 billion people? Did you also know that if we all stood shoulder to shoulder, all 7 billion people could fit in Los Angeles? Did you know that in every second five people are born and two people die? This fantastic 3-minute video by Na ...
Glowing Inspiration: Creative Neon Light Sculptures
I am so drawn to this type of photography! In official artistic language, these are called "long exposure and light painting photographs." In regular non-artist language (me), these are called super cool pictures with neon lights.
Neon doesn't really fit with the decor in my house now, but when ...
This Fortune Cookie Coin Purse Holds A Small Fortune
Is it just me or does it seem like many of the new designs recently are inspired by fortune cookies? Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about it. To me, a fortune cookie is about as close as it gets to a perfect cookie experience (the only cookie better than a fortune cookie is an Oreo), so i ...

For Really Fresh Breath Eat These Dill Pickle Mints
Did you know that back in the early 1800s, people thought that dill pickles had mystical healing powers? They also believed pickles could make people look decades younger. Ok, I completely made that up; however, this product is so ridiculous that it just seemed appropriate to write something like ...
Translating Online Emotions: Communication Made Easier
We've all experienced it, right? We get an email from someone, and we aren't sure how to interpret what they've typed. When someone sends a message that isn't clear, it's easy to wonder if they intended it to be a joke, or if it was supposed to come across as harsh as it was written.
For exampl ...
Mario’s Best Friend Yoshi Is Now A Zombie!
I really like Yoshi. He's a precious little cutie, so when I saw this zombified version of him, it was a little disturbing to me at first. I found myself feeling like I needed to protect him from the evil people that lurk in the world, especially those that want to turn him into a zombie.
Donal ...
The Magic of Clouds Explained in Science & Photography
I read something that said if a geek wants to know the weather, he or she looks up the forecast on the Internet instead of walking outside and looking up at the sky. I am a geek, and it's true, I often look up the weather online. However, I never want to lose touch with nature or the outdoors, so ...
