We've written about so many talented artists on Bit Rebels that sometimes it's hard to believe there are more out there. The truth is, the world is filled with creative people who like to showcase their talent. I'm grateful that those of us that aren't very artistic get to benefit from that.

Remember this cup that had an entire landscape painted ar ...
Going To Extremes: Would You Swim Here?
Many of you have probably seen people tweet about how cold it is in the Southern part of the United States right now. I realize it's December, so logically, it's supposed to be cold, right?

What would you do if you had some tiny toy army men, some plastic forks and a few boxes of band-aids that you didn't need anymore? Would you throw them in the garbage? Would you recycle them? Would you give them away? Perhaps if you were in a creative mood, you might make something with them, ri ...
What and When Was The First SUV Ever Built?
Most days, I drive my SUV. I like sitting up high when I drive, and although I know I should probably get a vehicle that is better for the environment, at the same time, I really like it. In a perfect world, I would ride my bike everywhere, but since I travel all over the metropolitan Atlanta area e ...
The Justice League Goes Sex Pistols Punk
I grew up with the Justice League. Like every other geeky girl, I wanted to be Wonder Woman sooooo bad. Have you ever thought about what it would be like for the Justice League to go punk? Yeah, me neither, until today. Although these illustrations are insanely creative and very well done, they ...
How To: Make An Omelet Inside The Eggshell
What exactly is an omelet inside of an eggshell? As they describe on Evil Mad Scientist, "it's the culinary equivalent of a ship in a bottle."

The Bulletproof Clipboard: Cause You Never Know
I know this isn't supposed to be funny, but for some reason, writing this article is making me laugh. I mean, really? A clipboard? All joking aside, I know that this can be serious business. I know how important personal safety is, and this invention is really fascinating to me.

A Little Piece of Nostalgia: The Cassette Tape Lamp
Do you remember cassette tapes? They are little plastic rectangles that fit in a tape recorder, and they play music. Seriously, I bet there are people who read this blog that have never seen a cassette tape before. I know my son, who is 9 years old, has never seen one or even heard of one.
Whe ...

New World Record Set For Continuous TV Watching
So many times I've thought it would be a lot of fun to watch a 24 marathon from the beginning to the end. I don't watch hardly any television, but when that show first came out, I looked forward to it every week. In the first few seasons, all the episodes had me on the edge of my seat, covering my ...
Live The Star Wars Fantasy: The Deep Space Fighter Bed
Wow, this is quite a bed! I didn't think a Star Wars inspired bed would ever top this Millennium Falcon bed, which by the way, looks ultimately geektastic and cozy. However, that was before I saw this Deep Space Fighter Bed.
I have three things to say about this bed. First, the base model star ...
Share Your Smileys IRL With The Emoticon Calendar
I'm a big fan of emoticons and smiley faces. I know many people think they are silly and serve no purpose, but I like to put them in most of my tweets, Facebook updates and texts. I've noticed lately that on more and more apps I download, it asks if I want to include my "mood." I suppose emoticon ...
