The Ultimate Geek Car
I thought I had seen it all when I read Richard’s article about the car made out of Legos, but then I found this car which is surely to be the ultimate dream car for any geek. It’s nothing fancy like the Porsche 918 Spyder that was just unveiled this week. A geek’s style isn’t flashy like that; a ...
Gummy Bear Chandelier | Sweet Glowing Nom Nom
It is quite apparent that people around the world are eating more and more sugar. That means more and more people are getting a sweet tooth that they just can't shake.

Beware Bullies: Anti-Theft Lunch Bags
Growing up is tough. When my son Henry, who is nine years old, is having a bad day, I often explain to him that it is much more difficult to be a kid than an adult. It’s like a rite of passage that every person has to go through to get to the joys of adulthood.
My mother, who is a very sweet la ...
15 Entertaining Toilet Paper Designs
We’ve written about toilet paper on Bit Rebels before. As a matter of fact, when I did a search, I was surprised at how many times toilet paper has been written about here. Perhaps toilet paper is more interesting than I first realized.
I think creative people have a lot of energy, and when we ...
Futuristic High Heels | Without The Heels
This might be weird coming from me, but when I saw these shoes, I just had to spread the word about them. Women are apparently ready to do whatever it takes to impress their man and look sexy. A Japanese fashion that was quite popular a few years ago was to make your feet look as small as possible, ...
Apologize The Geek Way | Card Abbreviations
With a heavy and constant load of information coming at us during the day from our computer, it can sometimes be hard to have time for everything. That's why abbreviations were created, to shorten down the things we want to say into a few letters or symbols. We've also learned how to smile, sob and ...
The ISS Reboost | Your Geek Style Physics Lesson
Learning about Space is fascinating because it opens our eyes to the vastness of the Universe. Whenever I see footage from Space, my favorite part is always the magic of weightlessness.

The T-Shirt War | Cool Stop Motion Animation
Have you heard of the two incredible dudes Rhett and Link? I love them in their antics on the T-Shirt War. Rhett and Link are a North Carolina based comedy duo consisting of life long best friends, Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal.

Escape From It All | A Tree House For Adults
My son has been asking me for a tree house for years. I never had a tree house growing up, so I don’t know much about them, but I’m ready to fulfill his wish, so I’ve begun the research to learn everything I can about tree houses and what they are all about.
Along the way, I stumbled across so ...
The New Barbie Is A Geek!
Little girls love Barbie dolls. When I was young, my sisters and I shared an entire playroom full of Barbie dolls and everything that goes along with them. I don’t think a girl’s love for Barbies ever really goes away. To this day, when I’m at the toy store, while my son browses the Wii games, I ...
Meet Crabzilla | The Largest Crab Ever Caught
We interrupt the regular Bit Rebels programming to bring you this important announcement: Did you know that a 10 foot long crab was captured in Great Britain (he can straddle an automobile)?

A Geek’s Dream Come True | Star Wars Lightsaber Flashmob
I own several Star Wars lightsabers; some even light up and make that cool noise. I know, they are toys. I know, they are for kids. I’m a geek, and I don’t care what anyone says, all geeks should own a lightsaber. They are just so cool. If you ever needed a reason to justify why you have one, h ...
Hands Free Umbrella | Half the Cool of Bubble Boy!
Here in Sweden it doesn't rain as much as in, for example, England. Here, as everywhere else, we use the ordinary umbrella and so far it has worked great. But there are days that you wish you were enclosed in a plastic confined area where the rain could never reach you no matter how much it tries. T ...
The Olympic Book of Five Rings (I)
Most eyes were glued to television sets last Friday night. The world's eyes descended upon Vancouver for the 2010 Winter Olympics that evening. The wait was finally over and all that preparation for the Opening Ceremonies, done. It was time.
Being present for them was something else. I missed it. ...
WANTED: Your Best Assets
Now there are some crazy things that I get to see on the internets and this is by far the most lude, interesting and bloody genius execution. American Apparel has set forth a competition to see who submits their best assets. Of course they are voted upon by thousands upon thousands of people.
