Make Your Life Easier: Add A Handle To Your MacBook
Some girls take their purse everywhere they go, some take their dog, I take my MacBook Pro. I even take it to the park, which you can see in this tribute to our readers. If you have a MacBook that you take everywhere like me, then you know how cumbersome it can be sometimes. I'm used to the weigh ...
Old Tupperware Bowls Become New Retro Kitchen Lamps
Do you remember back in the old days when people used to make Jello molds? My mother used to make those when we were young. She would put canned fruit inside them and whipped cream on top. Another thing my mother used to do is go to Tupperware parties. Does anyone still do that these days? I ha ...
Design: Cozy Knitted Sweaters For Your Coffee Mugs
I have a confession to make. Normally I wouldn't put this in an article, but since I tweeted it to my friend today, I guess it's public information anyway. Last night, I slept with my winter gloves and scarf on. And, yes, I sleep inside the house. I have central heat, but it's just so unusually ...
The Anger Management Solution In a Vending Machine
On the surface, vending machines may seem boring, but over the past several years there have been quite a few changes with them. First of all, the first touchscreen vending machines were introduced last summer. Now you can read the nutritional information, flip the product around and look at it, s ...
The Intersection of Childhood & Adulthood Illustrated
Just yesterday when I was sitting in my car at the supermarket, I saw a mother and her daughter pass by in the parking lot. The mother was on her cell phone and looked like she was in an intense conversation. She had a scowl on her face, and she was walking fast. Her daughter, who was about six y ...
Book Origami Typography: The Ultimate Inspiration
As a designer, you will find inspiration in everything that has a message. This means that pretty much everything you hear, see or feel will poke at your creativity and spark something that will be born into something new. It's a process very much like life itself, and how it begins. But all insp ...
For Trendy Geeks: A Sleek New Minimalist Mouse Design
I remember even just as recently as five years ago, almost nobody was getting creative with computer mouse design. We all had a standard mouse, and nobody really questioned it. It's just the way it was.
However, these days, things are much different. Designers are catering to our creative side ...
Could This Be The World’s Simplest And Thinnest iPhone Case?
I think by now I have pretty much covered the most expensive, the most durable, the largest and the most technological iPhone cases that I have been able to find. However, I have yet one more to process. As I've said many times before, Apple really opened up a new market when they released the fir ...
Soaphenge: The Cleaner Version Of Stonehenge
So where does art begin and end? That's a monumental question, and as I ask it out loud to myself, I am not sure it is to be answered, at least not by me. I appreciate art in all its forms and sizes, so much so that I regularly visit exhibitions and art galleries around Stockholm whenever I get a ...
Twitter Paper Toy: For The Seriously Addicted Tweeps
So what does it mean to be addicted to Twitter? That's a question many people have tried to answer. The scale has many ratings and what seems like perfectly normal behavior for some is considered beyond addiction to others. The fine line between these camps would be much too hard to explain, so I ...
Photography: A Drop of Water Becomes a Rainbow of Color
What is it that makes water so interesting to photograph? I've been inspired by some of the photographers we've featured on Bit Rebels, and I've tried to photograph water droplets myself. However, I usually just end up with a big mess. I guess that is what separates a real photographer from a gir ...
Ladies, This Is For You: The Best Invention I’ve Seen All Week
I'm on the Internet almost all day long. For those of you who actually have a life, I pride myself on bringing you the coolest most useful inventions quickly so that you don't have to sit in front of your computer as much as I do.
However, this brilliant invention somehow slipped through my fing ...
The Most Creative Fingerprints You’ve Ever Seen
Fingerprints are just plain cool. I remember the time I was arrested and fingerprinted (Just kidding. LOL). One reason fingerprints are so cool is because they are one of the few parts of our bodies that is completely unique. Although it is possible for our relatives to have relatively the same f ...
48 New Pac-Man Ghost Villains From Legendary Game Characters
I must admit that I used to adore that little Pac-Man shaped hand held game when I was a kid. Sure, it was monochrome and the sound was horrible, but the gaming was good and you couldn't put it away if your life depended on it. Even though I can take the Pac-Man, is was always the Pac-Man villains ...
New World Record: The Fastest Solar Powered Car
At the University of New South Wales there is a Solar Racing Team (a student run non-profit organization) called Sunswift. Their main purpose is to design and build solar cars for competitions. Their most recent beauty, the IVy, recently smashed an official Guinness World Record for the world's fa ...
