Decadent & Delicious Meat Photography
I love meat. I can eat any kind of meat, preferably rare, everyday. I know it's controversial and a lot of people I know think it's wrong, but I am definitely a carnivore. It's just who I am. I remember when I wrote this article called How To: Kill A Lobster In A Humane Way, I got a ton of nasty ...
The Magical Miniature World Of Paper Rolls
Just when you thought you had seen everything there is, something always comes along that will rival all your inspiration and push it even further. Not only is it inspiring to see people that truly create something beautiful, but when they do it by using something that has been recycled, it's a who ...
Star Wars Typography: Darth Vader Created With His Quotes
They say all good things come in threes, and since we've featured two articles so far with Star Wars inspired typography, I thought I'd top it off today with a third. Although Richard's articles about the Boba Fett Typography and the Star Wars Ad Campaign Typography were awesome in their own right, ...
Fascinating Tree Bark From Around The World
Trees are truly one of Mother Nature's many miracles. If you do a quick Google search for tree facts, you'll find some very interesting information that you probably never knew before, or at least I did.
Back in 2009, I remember seeing the Redwood tree on the cover of National Geographic. That pi ...
Recycling: Old Plastic Toys Get A New Life As A Dog
If you have young children, you probably know what it's like to have itty-bitty toys all around your house. Whether it's little plastic numbers, pieces of broken figures or used crayons, that stuff just seems to accumulate everywhere. My son, who is ten years old, has gotten to the age where he is ...
Photography: Abandoned and Lonely World War II Bunkers
Normally the words "beautiful" and "war" do not go together in the same sentence. However, this stunning photography of old abandoned World War II bunkers is truly beautiful, in a historic kind of way.
When I was attending University, for a short while, I was a history major. I changed my studi ...
How To: Make a Beating Origami Heart for Your Valentine
Valentine's Day will be here soon, and if you are like most people, you haven't yet figured out the perfect gift for your sweetheart.

Design: City Maps Hand-Woven From Typography
Lately, I've seen a lot of people go back and forth online debating about what typography actually is. I guess since I'm not a designer, I am excused from not knowing how the traditionalists view it. To me, typography is text in different colors, fonts, shapes and sizes put together to create some ...

8-Bit Photography: Game Characters Escape Once Again
Not too long ago, I wrote about the wonderful and creative image mashups of 8-bit game characters that had escaped to reality. I also wrote about the awkward job interviews with some of the most legendary game characters that we all may ever know. As expected, the interviews didn't work out that w ...
This Invisible Chair Only Appears When You Do
This chair is like a bundle of geeky magic. It makes every chair in my house look completely boring. Not only is it invisible, but it also creates a black hole and it thumps like it has a heartbeat. It's like a fantasy piece of furniture that doesn't take up any space at all, or at least that's t ...
Voiceprint: Create A Picture Of Your Voice
Have you ever thought about what the visual representation of your voice looks like? What would that sound look like if it were painted on a canvas? A lot of us save special audio clips. When we play them, they give us a certain feeling inside. Sound is very powerful. It's similar to when we li ...
The Ultimate Bad Breath Detector
I'm a complete fanatic about having fresh breath. I eat mints like they were my last meal, and I keep a toothbrush and toothpaste in my car. You can never be too sure, right? To me, there is almost nothing worse in a guy than disgusting breath (ok, I can think of one or two things worse, but bad ...
9 Ice Sculptures That Will Inspire You!
Writing here on Bit Rebels is a little bit like a diary to me. Everything I write about every day always has something to do with what I'm going through in my life at that moment. It's really fun for me sometimes to go back over the 1000+ articles I've written here and reminisce over what was happ ...
Eco-Friendly Land Art: Created From Dirt, Rocks & Leaves
Since I'm a huge fan of nature and art, I especially like artwork that takes nature as we know it and gives it a twist. For example, these photographs of pixilated gaming characters romping around outside that Richard wrote about last week were really cool!
Today I would like to share with you t ...
