Mark Zuckerberg Portrait Created From Carved & Stacked Books
When you are inspired by someone famous (like Steve Jobs, a human rights activist, a creative artist, a technology wizard, a mentor or anyone else who lights the spark within you), you might read about that person online, tweet about him or her, and you might even write a blog post from time to time ...
Yes!!! The Bed That Automatically Makes Itself In 50 Seconds
When I look back at my life in the '80s, I usually just think about how perfect it was. All I really did was go to school, play video games and watch cartoons. What could be better than that? I wonder if someday I'll look back at my life in 2012 and think about how perfect it was then too. I hope so ...
Mind Twisting Stone Sculptures With Teeth, Zippers & Coins
I have seen lots of stone sculptures over the years, but I've never seen any like this before. Did you know that stones can have zippers incorporated into them? I didn't either until I saw this collection. I know at first glance, you might think these are photoshopped images, but they aren't. As a m ...
Super Mario Goes To The Dark Side: A Shadow Tribute
We've seen so many great tributes to Mario and company, and we've featured too many of them to even count. Whether they come in the form of videos, illustrations, wedding invitations, hats or even jewelry, we've seen it all, and each one is as inspiring as the next. In this particular tribute, artis ...

Cardboard Google Street View Is As Real As Our Own Reality
We have all seen or used the Google Street View feature. It's one of those insanely creative ways of reinventing the map, and the depth of it is increasingly impressive. It was recently announced that Google managed to shrink their street view capturing device from a car sized gadget to a backpack s ...
Grow Your Own Bio-Customized Stingray Sneakers
I have to be honest. I had a friend who had a stingray in his home aquarium. Whenever he and his wife went on vacation, I was the only sucker... ‘er um... I mean volunteer who offered to feed the poor thing. I will never have a stingray for a pet, and I really didn’t enjoy feeding it all that much, ...
Shoot The Lights On With A Remote Control Gun
We've all been in the situation where it is late at night, you're exhausted from a day's work, and you're ready to climb into bed and crash. Just as you get all cozy and warm in your bed tucked beneath your comforter with your head resting on your pillow, you realize you forgot to turn out the light ...

The Quick Pick Font Guide [Flowchart]
When it comes to making a project stand out and look unique, nothing does it quite the same way as the font you use. I don't know how many times I have seen great designs that could have been supreme if it wasn't for the fact that the designer used a boring font. There are a ton of bad fonts out the ...
The Super Brain Phone Booth Protects You With Brain Matter
There's nothing like a humongous and artistic super brain phone booth complete with pink brain matter to make talking on the phone fun again. I could really get into this, literally. I barely talk on the phone anymore. Talking on the phone is so communication 1.0 to me. Nope, in my life, it's Twitte ...
Magazine Cover Designs From The Blade Runner Set
In 1982, Ridley Scott gave us Blade Runner. It hit cinemas in May to a lousy box office opening and was dwarfed by its rival at the time, Steven Spielberg's E.T.. But as time passed, the movie gained a dedicated cult following that only continues to increase as the years go by. The special edition b ...
Snow Cone Cupcakes: The Only Snow Cones That Won’t Melt
As I've written so many times before, often it's not enough anymore for baking foodies to just create beautiful cupcakes. They want more.

DIY Vertical Lego Building Area On The Wall & Ceiling
We recently got an email at Bit Rebels about a homegrown bio computer which is a computer built from donated computer parts which houses a soil container system that has wheatgrass planted in it. The heat from the PC heats the soil, which helps with the germination and growth of the wheatgrass. I we ...
3 Creative Bathroom Designs: Get Inspired In The Loo
If a progressive advertising agency asked you to design a few creative bathrooms for them, how would you do it? Think beyond the norm of simply adding top-rated shower doors or tubs, and go outside the box.
What if they asked you to create something inviting and fun since potential clients would ...
Deep Fried Gadgets: Suddenly Your iPhone Looks Tasty
Whenever a new gadget is released, many of us rush out to buy it like our lives depended on it. We can't think of anything other than getting it in our hot little hands. Then, after we have it a while, another new gadget is released, and we toss the old one (which isn't really old) to the side and t ...
