StreetFlyer: The Oddest Bicycle Breed You Have Ever Seen
I was a frequent pedal paddler when I was a kid until I got myself into an accident. After that I have never really found the two wheeled form of transportation to be quite as exciting again. Well, of course, I have been up in the saddle after that, and even gotten myself one of those high end mou ...
Angry Birds Kids: The REAL Way Of Playing The Game
For all of you who thought we had stopped writing about the Angry Birds game, I am happy to disappoint you. Well, not really happy, but this thing is just too good to pass up. I don't really know what else to say about the game more than that it's still one of the most purchased and downloaded gam ...

Bacon Lovers: Drool Over Your Bacon’s History [Infographic]
As I single-handedly inhaled almost an entire pound of bacon this morning (my Saturday ritual), I got to thinking about it more. Why is it that so many people love bacon? We love it so much that we even top lots of our foods with it now. Menu items including bacon have risen almost 30% in the pas ...
Multitasking Picture Frames Become Creativity Boosters
Time is a valuable commodity that most of us take for granted. But for all of us, the day will come when we realize that it's not going to last forever. Then we will suddenly realize that there are things that we wish we would have done, but now don't have the time to. It's a somewhat bleak thoug ...
Heavy Cosplay: Sick Fallout 3 Power Armor Costume That Rules
The cosplay community is growing by the second. It's becoming more and more advanced, and the costumes never seem to be too elaborate for anyone to create. They are taken straight from today's games or from the legendary games of the past. However, they have one thing in common, and that's the fa ...
Photographer Uses Star Wars Toys In Amazing Photo Scenarios
We write about photography way too little here on Bit Rebels, and when we do, it's usually something creepy, weird or just plain wonderful. Personally, I think we should step it up a little and share the awesome world of photography way more and that is my mission for the day, at least when it come ...
8-Bit Flowers: Perfect For Your Geek Gamer Girl
I'm sure a lot of women will disagree with me, but I'm not a fan of receiving big expensive bouquets of flowers. The thought behind a gift like that is so humbling, and I appreciate it; however, I think the money could be so much better spent on something that isn't going to die in a week. Maybe I' ...
Baby Darth Vader’s Discovery Of The Force
Before the Star Wars movies became household names for awesomeness, we didn't know anything about the force. It simply wasn't a part of our vocabulary. We had no clue what light sabres were, and we definitely didn't know anything about a creature named Yoda or what the Death Star was. We lived pr ...
Teenager Builds Ultra-Powerful Death Ray
Dang, the teenagers of today are so different than when I was younger. When I was a teenager, I used to ride my moped to Burger King (aka the BK Lounge) to meet up with my friends. Today's teenagers are first generation digital natives, which means they are doing much more exciting things than han ...
Angry Birds LEGO Builds: When Addiction Meets Creativity
How is it that every day now there is something new in the world of Angry Birds? This ultimately addicting game is starting to become the new Star Wars when it comes to its many spoofs and creations. What I mean is that I wouldn't be surprised if we soon saw a Beetle car turned into an Angry Bird ...

Transformers: The Cars Behind The Robots [Infographic]
I was never a huge Transformers fan as a kid. There, I said it! Even though that might sound weird coming from someone claiming to be in the realm of the uber geeks, it simply never caught my fancy. Why I have no idea really. Watching the blockbuster movies today put it all in a skewed perspecti ...
Angry Birds Laptop Decals: Keep The Fight Going
The Angry Birds hysteria seems to be going on forever. Not that I mind the fight or the concept of it, it's quite genius if you ask me. Who would have thought birds against pigs would make such an epic fight. For every day that passes, it seems that the Angry Birds concept gets an even more ironc ...
Beer Hour: The Portable Personal Beer Dispenser
In all honesty, I have never been a huge beer drinker and when I do drink beer, it's never in large quantities either. Some people kick back when they get home and open a beer. They sit down and just enjoy that another day's worth of work is all over. It's something mythical to me since I don't s ...
LEGO Star Wars Movie: The Escape Of The Black Stormtrooper
Alright, it might not be a long feature movie, but LEGO short movies have always been very entertaining to say the least. Stop motion movies really took off a few years back, and it's no wonder that people buy those colorful blocks as much as they do. We all want to get in on the fun and make some ...
World’s Most Kick Ass Insert Coin Animation With Real Coins
I remember playing the arcade games, especially the pinball machines, in the arcade halls when I was younger. Unfortunately, most of them were closed and shut down long ago. The magic of entering a hall full of 8-bit music and people cheering for each other is what I miss the most, and I have no i ...
