DIY Retro Nintendo 64 Handheld Console Mod
This is a good geek test. If you look at this project and think "Why would anyone ever want to take the time to transform a Nintendo 64 into a handheld console?" you might not be a hardcore geek. If you look at this and drool all over yourself like baby, well, there you go.
I have a feeling that ...
3D Printed Eco-Friendly Houses: The Future Is Now
This is going to blow your mind. Are you ready? Did you know that digital 3D printing of eco-friendly houses is a reality now? In other words, it's not something that could happen in the future (which we've read about before), but it's happening now. The whole concept of 3D printing is completely ba ...
Whoa! A Saturn V Rocket Created With 120,000 Lego Bricks
When I look at this Lego build, the only word that comes to my mind is WTF. Wait, is WTF a word? I guess it's three words, but that's not the point. The point is that this thing is ridiculously insane in every possible way. Obviously creating Lego builds with over 100,000 bricks is becoming more and ...

Intense Super Mario Papercraft Stop Motion [Video]
As creative as the Super Mario franchise is, there is always room for improvement, right? We see a ton of these 2D and 3D platform games, and they are usually all the same. They draw you into a world which is not only creative, but also very addicting. I remember the first time I ever played Super M ...
Finally! Crocheted Vulcan Ears To Cover Our Lame Human Ears
A few months ago, Richard wrote about a knitted Spock hat with Spock ears added to the side. That was nice and all, but it seems much more logical to simply transform our ears into Spock ears, doesn't it? Who needs the hat attached? I mean, Spock doesn't wear a hat. #justsayin
Inspired by all the ...
The Smartphone That Knows When You Are Angry & Annoyed
The people and brands who have been successful with social media in the past are the ones who are transparent. In other words, they are open and they engage with their network. Companies who address customer service concerns in the public timeline on Twitter, even if it's embarrassing for them, alwa ...
Become A Superhero With The Custom Built Avengers Office Desk
Many times I have written about how we would like to pimp out our future office with gadgets, art and geek accessories to the point where you could almost not walk through the hallway without wanting to stop and try out at least a dozen trinkets and such. It would be fun to decorate it in order to i ...
Assemble Your Own Papercraft Steve Jobs Keynote
Isn't it interesting how people keep creating things that we don't need, but we really want? I mean, how can it be that we are going about our everyday lives without thinking about what we don't need only to stumble over something that we really want? It sounds weird, I know, but it is exactly that ...
DIY TARDIS Cookies Made With 3D Printed Cookie Cutters
Why is it that so many of us are obsessed with the TARDIS? I know I always smile when I see that blue box. I think it's because when I was little, I used to pretend that my closet led to a secret huge room, and that when I went in there and closed the door, it would take me to a new place in time. A ...
Beautiful Betty & Wilma Cosplay: Flashback To The Flintstones
We've featured so much over-the-top, fabulous cosplay (for people and animals) over the past year here on Bit Rebels that now when I see it; it has to be really special for me to really notice it. Cosplay these days is getting sexier and sleeker, but my favorite one so far is still the "They Live" c ...
The Urinal Design That Gives You A Health Score On A Touchscreen
One thing I don't understand about men is why so many of them have such a fascination with peeing and farting. When my son farts, you'd think he heard the funniest joke in the world. He laughs and laughs, and as much as I don't understand why that's funny, he can't understand why I don't laugh. What ...
How To Make Beer & Bacon Mancakes (The Ultimate Dude Food)
What could be better than beer, bacon and pancakes for breakfast? This concoction might be considered dude food, but I'd say it could be chick food too. I know I'd eat it. Pass the butter. This could be the perfect Saturday morning breakfast in bed to make for your man. Nothing says "I love you" mor ...
Party In A Test Tube: Chemistry Parties Are So Reactive
When I was a kid, I wanted a chemistry set. Didn’t we all? Why did I want a chemistry set? It’s not because I wanted to sit placidly in my bedroom, creating new experiments that would change the world and lead to universal peace and harmony. No, I wanted to blow stuff up, just like you did.

Brain-Twisting Mashup: The Old Starbucks Logo Goes Geek
As we've often said before, mashups are very popular, and these days artists will mashup just about anything. I usually don't get surprised anymore when I see the most random, strange things mashed together because the line between what's normal and what's not is constantly being blurred by the crea ...
