R2-D2, Spidey, TARDIS & Pikachu Custom Geek Sneakers
We've probably written at least a hundred articles about shoes over the past few years, and many of them were written by me. I can't help it. I've got a thing for shoes, and when I see geeky ones, I have to share them with you. I wonder if I could talk Richard into creating a category on Bit Rebels ...

If A Star Wars Invasion Happened IRL [14 Black & White Pics]
This is so morbid, but in a science fiction kind of way. It may be the best set of images you look at today. This is a new perspective on Star Wars that we haven't featured before, and it's a goooood one. The original Star Wars trilogy is definitely my favorite set of movies ever, but one thing I've ...
Star Wars Stamps Will Make Snail Mail Cool Again
I don't think I am the only one who almost entirely abandoned snail mail as a networking tool long ago. I mean, I can't even remember the last sent a hand written letter. It's almost embarrassing. You see, there are still some things that are considered to be personal and caring, and one of those th ...
A New Steampunk Font & Texture
I thought I would share this new steampunk font and texture resource that I discovered while researching another project from the type foundry, Fontcraft the Scriptorium. I have been purchasing their typography for awhile now to use in unique projects from the site of Dave Nalle who is a game design ...
Make A Mother’s Day Bouquet Of Flowers Out Of Cookies
This weekend it's already time to celebrate Mother's Day again. Each year when this holiday comes, I spend the day being grateful that I have Henry in my life. If you are a mom, you know exactly what I'm talking about. He's eleven years old, and he knows that he doesn't have to ever get me a gift fo ...
If Children’s Drawings Were Made Into Real Toys
It is funny how children's imaginations always outrun our own. I mean, we're continuously trying to come up with stuff that is supposed to make people raise their eyebrows in wonderment, but we never seem to beat what a child could dream up. That in itself is anything but a little feat. Why? Because ...
Paper vs. Pixel: The Pixel’s Battle For Dominance In Design
Back in the '90s when I fell in love with my computer (and the sound of my modem connecting), I didn't know what a pixel was. I saw pixels in 8-bit video games of course, but I had no clue what a pixel represented at that time. Back then, design was mostly focused about the old way of printing which ...
The Cutest & Most Creative Ewok Cake You’ve Ever Seen
I've written about a lot of Star Wars cakes over the years. It started about a year ago with this Yoda Cake which has Rice Krispie treats for ears and is held together with chopsticks inside. Then there was the Death Star Cake which is basically two bowl shaped cakes put together to make the round D ...
The World’s Best Giant Syringe Filled With Chocolate Sauce
On my quest to find bizarre chocolate, I'd been meaning to revisit the choco-chain, Max Brenner in New York, "chocolate by the bald man," so I could sit in a room surrounded by adults and squirt warm chocolate sauce directly into my mouth via a giant syringe. Apparently, "Max's chocolate kingdom" is ...

Instagram: What Famous Photographer Are You? [Infographic]
It's all so interesting how a concept can go from nothing to a $300 million dollar company in as little as 18 months. That is exactly what Instagram managed to do. It speaks of ingenuity on the very edge of genius, and a way to connect with its users on the level of perfect collaboration. Facebook r ...
Pencil People: Sharpest Heads On Earth
When a creative mind starts churning its cogs and wheels, there is no telling what will come out of it. Have you ever held a pencil in your hand and started thinking that with it and a piece of paper you could create something that could potentially last forever? Leonardo da Vinci realized this and ...
Pop Culture Icons In An Exploding Rainbow Of Colors
When you first look at these pictures, especially if you click on them to see the enlarged versions, they will shock your eyeballs and your mind with exploding colors that will permeate your brain. It's artists like this who have a fresh style and mad skills that humble me and remind me that I don't ...
Converse Shoe Foot Tattoo For The Trendy
For some people, a tattoo is anything but serious. For others, it can be a way to escape what was and mark something new in the present. There are a lot of different reasons why people get a tattoo, and none of them are wrong really. I mean, if you decide upon a tattoo, you pretty much know why you ...
Massive Portraits Created With Colorful Shoelaces
What do you do with your shoelaces? I usually put mine in my gym shoes and lace them up. This artist uses them to make murals that are about six feet (1.8 meters) tall. That's not unusual, right? Heck yes it is, but after all the bizarre artwork we've seen over the years on Bit Rebels, nothing reall ...

The Evolution Of Business Cards [Infographic]
Something that a lot of people never calculate into their startup plan is to spend a considerable amount of time on developing an idea for a business card that actually speaks for them instead of against them. Lately business cards have become almost an entire pitch method in themselves. If you deve ...
