Trekkies Rejoice: The Dark Chocolate Star Trek Voyager Cake

For those of you who don't already know, Voyager is one of my favorite Star Trek series. I faithfully watched nearly every episode as it aired.

How To Hack The Gigaware 12-494 Universal FM Transmitter

Several years ago, I picked up this device to transmit audio from various devices to my stereo equipment via an FM signal. While this worked well enough, interference aside, one thing that always annoyed me with this device was the rather bulky limitation of its auto style cigarette lighter power ad ...

A Spectre Of Utopia: A Marvel Of Modern Engineering

No, that is not some alien space craft. Unfortunately, we have not made contact with a benevolently advanced alien race, well, not any that our governments will admit anyway. Of course when I stumbled upon this, I clearly heard the line, "No. Mr. Bond, I expect you to DIE!" Sadly that quote is from ...

USB Wall Outlet: No More Searching For The Power Adapter

Have you ever needed to charge your cell phone only to realize that you left the USB power adapter at home on your desk? How many times can you stop by the same Apple store to borrow one of their cradles conveniently hot glued to the display table? Seriously, you've never jack powered while pretendi ...
The Ultimate Scale That Out Scales All Other Scales

The Ultimate Scale That Out Scales All Other Scales

Here on Bit Rebels we've reviewed scales (mostly mean ones) before, but honestly, I don't think we've ever seen anything quite like this. Truthfully, this is not one of my favorite subjects.
