Our Beloved R2-D2: Dissected Into All His Geeky Parts
R2-D2 has always been my favorite astromech droid. If he was human, Artoo could have been the perfect man. He was brave, courageous, had a fun personality, liked to play with all kinds of gadgets, and above all, he selflessly contributed to saving the galaxy, never complaining or causing a problem ...
LED Throwies: Colorful Holiday Lights For Geeks!
I've always liked LED throwies, and with the holiday season upon us, I thought it was appropriate to write about them since they are, of course, the geekiest little lights ever! In case you are unfamiliar with what an LED throwie is, it's basically just an LED attached to a magnet and a battery. A ...
Real Life Drama: Woman Goes Jedi and Attacks with a Lightsaber
I have to admit; it's been a while since I've gotten excited over a lightsaber. It was fun watching this lightsaber flash mob and this dog that could fight with a lightsaber. It was also neat to learn how to build a lightsaber. However, for the most part, they are old news. Well, at least I thou ...
Harry Potter Inspired LEGO Sets!
Harry Potter is one series that both adults and kids love to watch (movies) and read (books). I never thought I would love watching Harry Potter at first because I thought it was something that only kids would like. The first time I got to see it, I was amazed at the effects. The story was captiv ...
The Twitter Tea Towel: Bring Twitter Into Your Kitchen
It's always interesting when designers are able to combine the cozy feelings from our past into our present life. Those feelings of nostalgia always brings with them fun memories of a time long gone. We see this a lot in the retro gadgets that are so popular right now. We also see this in the ret ...
Lululemon: The Hoodie That Converts Into A Pillow
Are you one of those people that can fall asleep just about anywhere? Good for you then. Well, I am not sleeping much at all, and it's been kind of my curse since many years back. The reason isn't the lack or relaxation or anything in that area. It's just that I can't sleep. However, that might ...
Get Ready To Gag: Hello Kitty Theme Park Opens In Japan
Let's get something straight; I only like Hello Kitty when she is in the form of socks, and on my sexy smart friend @krystynchong (1st picture below). Any other time, she pretty much makes me gag.
In the spirit of giving you something to giggle about (or gag about) today, I thought I would share ...
Unreal Wearable LEGO Halo Master Chief Helmet
Many people have had a crack at the Halo franchise when it comes to creating the accessories from the series. There has been everything from rifles to full grown life-size costumes that have taken up to three years to create. It's like everyone on this planet just can't wait for all of this cool g ...
Blueprints: Now You Can Build Your Own Millennium Falcon
While Richard Branson is working on taking us out into space for a few minutes in weightlessness, there are other people working on actually letting us plan our vacations in space. If I am not entirely wrong, I believe it is the Russians that are currently working on a space station that us deadly ...
How To: Make A Cute Clever Candle From A Tangerine
I love candles. They are all over my house all year long, but especially during the holidays. My favorite one, which is burning right now, smells like a Christmas tree. For some reason, when I smell certain candles, I think of certain people, if that makes sense. The scent of some candles even r ...
Dissection: The Edible Parts Of The Super Mario Villains
We have covered many things that show the inside of a character. Super Mario got his share of the spotlight when we uncovered what our superhero looked liked inside. It was odd and weird, yes, but ultimately necessary of course since it had been too long that we at Bit Rebels wondered about it. S ...
The Geeks Way To Fly A Paper Airplane
Making paper airplanes is always fun. We've all done it, right? Mine don't usually fly far, but it's a good time to fold the paper in different ways and try a variety of techniques. The question here is, what do you do with your paper airplane after you've made it?
Most people fly it in their ...
Geeks: Wake Up To This Lego Alarm Clock!
I am the type of person who is dependent on an alarm clock to wake up every morning. I know some people hate using alarm clocks since they kinda jolt us out of bed. It's especially annoying when we are having a good dream, and it gets cut short with the blaring sound of our clock.
However, if b ...
Pixel Star Wars: Welcome Back To The 8-Bit Days!
Many people who remember the '80s know that the pixel was the most favored computer generated substance. Everything was built up of pixels, and it made our days fun and exciting. They were everywhere from in the games we played to the matrix printer that we astonished over while it slowly plotted ...
The Dipr: Dunking Cookies Just Got A Lot Easier!
Oreos are my favorite cookies, and there is no better thing than to eat a couple together with a cup of hot chocolate when the night is dark and there is a few feet of snow outside. The cold creeps onto you like a unwelcome bone chilling blanket and the warm beverage helps to lift it off. My perso ...
