Photography: X-Ray Technology Turned Into Art
X-ray photography is so cool, isn't it? The society we live in is very image oriented, but looking at an x-ray takes us behind that image.

A Fascinating Stop Motion That Tracks Human Growth

Sesame Street: You’ve Never Seen Bert & Ernie Like This!
Sesame Street was such a huge part of my life when I was in elementary school. It's hard to believe that show started in 1969, and it's still broadcasting today. In 2009, on the show's 40th anniversary, it was the number 15th highest rated children's show in the States.
According to Wikipedia, ...

Ho Ho Ho: The Ultimately Geeky Holiday Wreath!
I always have a wreath on my front door this time of year. I'm lucky because I never really had to learn how to make them. My mother loves to make fabulous wreaths, and she is kind enough to give me several of them throughout the year. It's always a challenge for her because she knows I don't lik ...
Design Inspiration: The Lego Headquarters In Russia
As you probably know, Richard, Misty and I all live in different countries. Even though we work well together through emails, Skype and direct messages on Twitter, we've often talked about what it would be like to have a Bit Rebels office in a location where we could all work in the same space.

Eating Disorders: The Painful Truth Drawn In Colored Pencils
This artist's work struck a chord with me because I'm personally very close to someone that is struggling with an eating disorder. It's not as uncommon as you might think. However, you might not think you know of anyone with an eating disorder because many times those who have experienced it have ...
How To: Leave A Time Capsule For Future Generations
Wouldn't it be cool to leave a time capsule in your house when you move? Someday someone would find it and get a glimpse into that moment in time when you left it for them. It's kinda like finding a message in a bottle, only better. Have you ever thought about leaving a note like this for someone ...

Teva High Heels: Climb That Mountain In Style!
Well hallelujah! What took so long for someone to design this? You are familiar with Teva shoes, right? Where I live, we refer to them simply as "Tevas" and most outdoorsy people have them. I wear mine whenever I'm outside camping, hiking, walking through a river or creek, gardening, etc... They ...
Geek Design: Space Invader Papercraft Business Card
Is there anything that can't be created with a piece of paper? I'm starting to think not. We've written about so much incredible papercraft on Bit Rebels that it now has its own category at the top of this blog. I used to just look at a piece of paper as just that, a piece of paper. But now, all ...
World Statistics Presented In Augmented Reality Brilliance
Wow, you know I don't usually put videos in my articles unless they are really, really worth watching, and this one falls into that category for sure. I remember when I was at University; one of my favorite classes was Statistics. It approached the actual numbers from the perspective of an Industr ...
Unbelievable Portraits Made From Chewed Gum & Spit
Apparently this guy has been doing this for years, but I just found out about it today, and it's blowing my mind. Do you see the "paintings" below? No paint was used to make them. They were created from chewed gum and spit only. Nuts!
Jason Kronenwald, an artist from Toronto, has a whole team ...
Food Fashion: Dresses Created From Bananas & Mushrooms
Have you noticed a trend lately that combines food and fashion? A while back I wrote an article about a couple of designers who asked five models what they were craving at that moment. Whatever they said, the designers created clothes for them to wear out of that food. It was really interesting t ...
Photography: Get To Know Your Body In A New Way
