For The Hippie In You: The Volkswagen Bus Camping Tent
I love this tent so much, but then again, I'm a little bit of a hippie. I occasionally wear Birkenstocks, I use the word groovy, I've been known to flash the peace sign, and I went out to dinner once with a guy just because he drove a VW Bug and I wanted to ride in it (not a new VW Bug, but one stra ...
The Highlights Of Stars Wars Explained In 10 Little Graphics
Believe it or not, there are some people in the world who don't understand how or why we love Star Wars so much. They are people who watch it once and say, "So what's the big deal?" I can't understand that at all, but I can respect that everyone is different. To me, not liking Star Wars is similar t ...
Starbucks Quiet Book: Teach Your Child How To Be A Coffee Addict
This is so funny! I saw it on Pinterest yesterday, and right away I knew I had to share it with you. In case you don't know what a quiet book is, it's a fabric book that you can give to your toddler to teach him or her some important life skills early. We've wrote about the Star Trek and the Star Wa ...
James Bond 007 Theme Song Played On Floppy Drives
Floppy drive music is always fun to listen to. It's not inspiring like regular music in a tune kind of way, but more in a geek kind of way. There is nothing that will put a smirky smile on your face quite the same way as modding some old computer equipment so it plays a song. These kinds of customiz ...

The cosplay community is just growing and growing. It has become so large that at any gaming or technology event, you will most likely spot some kind of cosplay by the advertisers as well as the visitors. It's a way to bring the epic into our ordinary world. There are of course many levels of cospla ...
Eraser Shavings Turn Mistakes Into Happy Accidents
I love "happy accidents" art. Actually, there is no art that is officially called happy accidents; I just call it that. I heard that phrase when I was a little girl, and I started using it a long time ago to describe artwork that encourages mistakes since in order to grow, we have to make lots of mi ...
Star Wars Themed Tea Set Puts The Force Into Your Morning
I guess by now it's no secret that I am a huge tea fanatic. I tweet it every time I have a hot cup like anyone would actually care. It's so funny to me how Twitter has changed the way we share our lives with others. I mean, not literally "share" it, but how we tell people about it. Who in their righ ...

With the Ghostbusters franchise rumored to get a reboot (or is it), it's time for everyone to start creating some viral content for the Internet to surf on the hype of it all. It's a constant that is never broken, and we see it happen over and over again. It's almost become a rule. For the movie com ...

Colorful & Smart Safety Tattoos For Children
I found this today on Pinterest, and it's such a great idea! It comes from Beckie at Infarrantly Creative. I never knew before today that tattoo printer paper existed. What a brilliant invention. Also, this little machine called the Silhouette is super sweet too. It's a design cutting tool that you ...

In case you haven't noticed, our smartphones are becoming more and more human since they are with us 24/7, like an intimate friend. When you think about it, our iPhones are with us through all the ups and downs of our daily lives, and they are there for us just like a best friend would be throughout ...
Mammoth Lego Organ Barrel Plays The Star Wars Theme
It's not too often that we see Lego used to create music. As a matter of fact, I could probably count how many times I've seen it using just the fingers on my right hand. Usually people create some mammoth or epic build of a spaceship, bust or portrait and then get it out there into the viral world. ...
Crocheted Boba Fett Coffee Cup Sleeve For The Ultimate Fan
How many times have you stumbled out of the coffee shop juggling the coffee cup between your hands and fingers like it was made out of plutonium? More than once I assume. I know that no matter how many sleeves I put on the cup before I leave the shop, I am always trying to fend off the heat by switc ...
Brick Brites: Lego Enters The Space Age With LEDs
The flood of microtechnology being introduced into the world is quite impressive. What was the size of a hand yesterday is about as big as a pin head today. Some say there really are no limits to how small we can make things. Micro, nano or atom sized... it's all possible if we only learn how to mas ...
Realistic R2-D2 3D Cake Complete With Sound Module
I love the trend towards transparency that is becoming more and more apparent online. There's evidence of it everywhere, and even here at Bit Rebels, we try to be as transparent as possible. When you can be open and accepting to all ideas and share without holding back, it really does open the door ...
