How To: Unlock Your Car With A Shoelace
When I was attending University, my roommates and I often used our driver's licenses (or any plastic card that size) to open the door to our dorm, and a coat hanger to open our locked cars. I don't know why, but apparently we couldn't be bothered with keeping our keys handy back then. As crafty as I ...
Get A Grip With The Innovative Yofo iPhone & iPad Holder
When it comes to destroying iPhones, I’m two for two. I drowned my first phone overnight (note to self: keep ice cubes away from an iPhone), and then a year later, I dropped another phone. So one dead phone and one cracked screen later, I’ve realized that either I have to stop being clumsy, or I nee ...

Slug Slime: Coming To A Hospital Near You?
I love the rainforest. I love its wetness, and I love the mists that rise from the trees when it is sunny. I love its creeks, and I love all of those damp little creatures that scurry around in the leaves. Yes, I even enjoy looking at slugs.
In spite of this, I have never licked one.
There are ...

The Mac Apple Studio Display Cat Bed Mod
As humanity moved inside into caves, huts, and later houses and apartments, so did the animals that we held dear and sometimes earned our living from. We even moved animals that were born to be outside into our own humble homes to give them a warmer place to stay. Of course, it is easy to feel sorry ...

Creative Twist On Love: Sarcastically Geeky Valentine Designs
I remember how much fun it was in school to get Valentines on February 14th each year. It's one of those traditions that seems to disappear as we get older. I think it would be fun to still send little Valentine cards as adults.

Actors Inside Your Favorite Costumes: Chewbacca, Alien & More
I remember about a week ago, my co-writer and friend, Lindsay Fultz, wrote an article here on Bit Rebels called Twitter Mentions Are The New You've Got Mail & Celebrity Autograph.

Geekiest Choreographies From Cult Movies Turned Into Posters
Enough of the owling in front of the computer! It's time to get up from that chair and start moving. Put on a good song and start dancing. When you get old, you won't be able to dance as geeky as you can now, so time is of the essence. I think geeks of today are way too shy to strike a pose and kick ...

All I can say is WOW! I looked at this picture (first one below) on Facebook and just kept staring at it, trying to figure out how they could do this on a wall...I thought it was a mural at first.
