Artistic Inspiration: A Badass Steampunk Etch-A-Sketch
We've written a lot of articles about steampunk and etch-a-sketch on Bit Rebels, so it only makes sense to combine them both into what can only be described as a steampunk beauty.
Of all the steampunk creations I've seen, this one is definitely up there as one of my favorites. Reddit user Haloki ...
Darth Vader LEGO Alarm Clock: Waking You Up On The Dark Side
We have all had those days when we wake up on the wrong side of the bed so to speak. Everything from that second on from when you open your eyes goes wrong, and you just wish that it was time for another night of sleep so you could start fresh yet again. The sound from an alarm clock can be both dau ...
Skateboard Fails: Destroyed or Deformed Skateboards
People around the world celebrate the new year in different ways. Some people make new goals, some people eat black-eyed peas and collard greens (for good luck), some people get completely wasted and some people create destroyed or deformed skateboard art. Go figure.
To celebrate the new year, ...
An Artistic Dedication To Our Beloved QWERTY Keyboard
As a geek, when you are feeling a little tired and lazy, there is nothing cozier than a QWERTY keyboard. You can quickly type messages without even looking at the screen. It's not as sleek and sexy as a touchscreen keyboard, but it's fast and easy.
I hope we always have the option of a QWERTY k ...
SmartFish: Will The First Moving Keyboard Define The Future?
It's common knowledge that some people sustain severe damage while spending substantial time typing on a keyboard. There have been so many attempts to create the best ergonomic keyboard that our arms, hands and fingers could use, but the task seems to be dauntingly complex and difficult since we ar ...
Star Wars Peep Toe Pumps: Girls Just Got Geekier!
I sometimes wonder why Star Wars has a tendency to bend towards the boyish geekiness instead of the unisex one. Sure, there have been some female Star Wars gear here on Bit Rebels lately, like the R2-D2 and C-3PO swimwear and such, but it tends to be more focused on the male fan base so to speak. ...
Smart Stand: Smartphone Car Dock Stand With A Twist!
I don't know how many times I have wondered why there are no cool stands or docks for our car when it comes to smartphones. It would be so much safer because the driver could concentrate on driving a lot more instead of trying to find the phone in his or her pocket when it rings. It would also ena ...
Vyne: A Serpent Around Your Neck Makes Your iPhone Hover
The one irritating thing when you buy an iPhone or an iPad is the fact that they can't stand on their own. This means that whenever you want to watch a movie that is approximately 2 hours long, you will have to hold it up in front of you to have the best viewing pleasure. However, as you know, you ...
Inspiration: Taking Creative Photos Doesn’t Have To Be Expensive!
What do you do if you are a photographer, and you want to take some really unique, creative shots without spending a lot of money? After all, photography can be an expensive hobby if you aren't careful, right?
One thing you can do is spend a very small amount of money on something that creates a ...
Skyfire: Content And Flash Browser For Your iPad And iPhone!
The Safari browser on the iPad and iPhone has a great number of features that enable you to quickly browse content on the Internet, but the lack of the notorious Flash feature is driving people nuts. The ability to watch Flash movies when browsing the Internet is increasing, yet Apple sticks to the ...
Glowing Inspiration: Creative Neon Light Sculptures
I am so drawn to this type of photography! In official artistic language, these are called "long exposure and light painting photographs." In regular non-artist language (me), these are called super cool pictures with neon lights.
Neon doesn't really fit with the decor in my house now, but when ...
This Fortune Cookie Coin Purse Holds A Small Fortune
Is it just me or does it seem like many of the new designs recently are inspired by fortune cookies? Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about it. To me, a fortune cookie is about as close as it gets to a perfect cookie experience (the only cookie better than a fortune cookie is an Oreo), so i ...
Mario’s Best Friend Yoshi Is Now A Zombie!
I really like Yoshi. He's a precious little cutie, so when I saw this zombified version of him, it was a little disturbing to me at first. I found myself feeling like I needed to protect him from the evil people that lurk in the world, especially those that want to turn him into a zombie.
Donal ...
Crochet Headphones: For Them Cold Days!
It's winter here in Sweden, and it's one of the coldest most snowy ones in many years. Plow trucks are patrolling the streets 24/7, and you constantly hear the scraping of metal against the ground. It's like they are trying to beat the snow before the new snow hits the ground but without success. ...
iPhone Accessorizes A Portable Wooden Mini Speaker!
Are you tired of all of those plastic iPhone or iPod docks that keep coming out in white and that make your whole house look like it was made out of plastic? Well, if you are a plastic hater and can't stand the look of glossy white plastic even if your life depended on it, there are other alternati ...
