Melissa Project: Messages Society Sends Young Girls [10 Pics]
Young girls grow up so fast these days. I remember when I was a young girl I was exposed to some things that required me to mature quickly, and in 2012, there's even more pressure to act like an adult early and handle adult situations at a young age. About a week ago, I saw a little girl who couldn' ...
Ridiculous R2-D2 Now Officially In The Lego Lineup
When looking at the history of Lego, we quickly find that the people at Lego are quite big fans of Star Wars. They have released some really awesome builds that would take you a while to assemble. They don't come cheap either, most of the Star Wars builds are quite expensive. I reckon that has to do ...

Time goes by so fast, and before you know it, you will have memories from a time which you thought were never going to become the past.

Retro Defined In This Lego Game Boy Transformer
The way people help things evolve is often by trying to predict the future in some obscure way. However, the best predictions have come from actually watching the past, and what we did wrong. The corrections of our mistakes is usually how we evolve, and that serves as a great indicator for what will ...
Trekkies: Microsoft Creates The First Universal Translator
Just four short months ago, I wrote an article about Star Trek Technologies and how close we are to achieving each one. I think I can speak for most trekkies when I say that the day things like tricorders, replicators, cloaking devices and universal translators all be come realities is going to be v ...

The Learning Power Of Lego [Infographic]
It's a day of joy today since I have finally found something that is very dear to our hearts over here at Bit Rebels. No, it doesn't have anything to do with Star Wars (even though that too is close to our hearts), but the one building block that had the most impact on our learning when we are young ...
The Lives Of Hipster Superheroes
I have to admit that I don't fully understand the concept behind being a hipster. Sure, I do understand what it is all about, but the origin of it is somewhat foggy to me. So you want to stand out, and you try and create a new fashion with statements that aren't really common to ordinary people's ey ...

We've featured a Lego car (that works), a Lego bicycle and even a ...

It's called evolution, and it is a powerful tool that both nature and humans have at their disposal ...
Excellent Superheroes & Supervillains Digital Art
I write a lot about superheros and villains because I love the old geeky comic books from the '80s. Even though I haven't seen a comic book in years, those characters never get old. Artists of all kinds seem to be just as inspired by them now as ever before. We've featured nail art, illustrations, a ...
Trippy Welded Art Created From Pure Scrapheap Junk
As the saying goes, one man's trash is another man's treasure. We never know where our discarded gadgets and gear are going to end up. Usually though, it ends up on a scrapheap somewhere waiting to get crushed and chopped up into teeny tiny pieces and recycled. Well, recycled is a pretty broad word ...
2012: The Year Of Infection Zombie Calendar
I have to say, so far this year I have been able to plan my time quite well. There have been a few snags here and there, but nothing that dedication can't fix. It is all thanks to my calendar and the fact that I am actually trying to become a little bit more structured this year. One thing that has ...
