Pixar Movie Characters To Grace Postage Stamps In 2011!
If I really have to, I must admit that I don't send very many postcards or letters anymore. It seems email does exactly what I want it to do, and as a result, my physical textural expression is suffering badly from it. I am truly ashamed by it. It's truly a greater feeling to receive a real writt ...

Plug Rings: Romantic Doesn’t Get Any Better Than This!
Rings seem to be the new wave of innovation lately. I have written about a handful of them, and I would have no problem in buying almost every one just because they are cool like that. However, rings don't have to be high tech to catch the attention of a geek. The mere design could be enough to s ...
iPhone Skin Goes Polaroid And Becomes The Ultimate Photo App!
It's a well known fact that the iPhone sports some rather cool photo apps, and they come downloadable for a very cheap price compared to other cameras and their features. Sure, the stats for the iPhone camera might not be any better, but the ingenious way you can mess around with filters, templates ...
Ear Guards: Keeps Bugs From Nesting In Your Ears!
Just when you thought you had secured your world from invasion, you uncover yet another, possibly lethal, encounter. You see, until now I have always felt secure when I got my few hours of sleep each night. Upon waking up, I've always thought that I had not been visited by aliens, burglars or any ...
T-Shirt Design: Chuck Norris Is Now Wearing You!
It was a while ago that Chuck Norris was the "Bacon" thing on the Internet, but it lingers on like it is a resilient disease that just won't give up. I think you all know what I mean. Everything that made the viral tube was a hit with a Chuck Norris stamp and the viral became even more viral. May ...
A Post-It Rose Says More Than Any Words Written On It!
A moment is never longer than you make it. This statement has always been a reminder of how fragile everything is and how vulnerable everything is to time. Nothing lasts forever and forever will never ensure you that it will never change. So even though it sounds like a cliche, it's important to ...
For Designer Geeks: Photoshop Salt & Pepper Shakers
I'm not a designer, but that doesn't mean I don't have a blast with Photoshop. @Minervity is a Photoshop wizard, and he's taught me a lot. Just last week I learned how to change eye color in a picture using Photoshop, and after changing my own eye color, I thought I was big time! It was fun to se ...

If you are fond of traveling the world and doing it in the most cultural way possible, then you probably like checking out every train route that ever existed.

This Steampunk Horse Goes Beyond All Boundaries Of Creativity!
It doesn't happen often that we post something about steampunk. However, we do post things from time to time, and I honestly think it's a little sad that we don't do it more often. The creations that people whip up when they undertake the task of turning a new product into an old, worn and ultimat ...
Design Inspiration: Tattooing on Paper
I love this! It's probably because I really like writing about different types of tattoos (although I don't have any), and I also love papercraft or any kind of creative use of paper. To combine both of these is so inspiring to me.
This isn't ordinary paper; it's a very heavy rag paper, otherwi ...
The Cutest Design of the Day: Fortune Cookie Baby Booties
I don't normally write about anything to do with babies. I'm beyond the baby stage in my life (thank goodness). However, this little design is sooo precious, I just had to write about it.
Almost everyone I know loves fortune cookies. I've been eating them since I was a little kid, and even ...
The Woman Born With Three Mouths
We all work so hard these days. Sometimes we publish articles on Bit Rebels to do nothing more than give you a break from your daily grind and provide you with something artistic, creative and interesting to look at for five minutes. We all know that a well-spent five minutes can refresh your brai ...
Recycle Those License Plates Into Retro Bowls!
Recycling is important nowadays and people are very conscious of how they dispose of their unwanted belongings.
