The Millennium Falcon Apple Pie Design
This is a hella cute Star Wars apple pie. It makes the tiny apple pie baked inside an apple that I wrote about yesterday look so boring. It's funny how today's hero can be tomorrow's zero. You might be asking yourself, "Why would I want to make an apple pie that looks like a Millennium Falcon?" Well ...
Typographic Calendar Created With 2,012 Recycled Keyboard Keys
I betcha this is the geekiest thing you'll read all day. I had to read about it a few different times just to wrap my brain around the complexity of it all. This is a typographic wall calendar created with 2,012 (since it's a 2012 calendar) recycled computer keyboard keys. Each one of the keys is ve ...
Insanely Impressive 7-Foot Tall Papercraft Gundam
Isn't it weird thinking about how the world will probably be paperless someday? Of course, that will take a few hundred years or so, but what I am saying is that if we are to sustain our quality of living on this planet, we pretty much need to cut down on our usage of paper altogether. I guess that ...
Mind-Boggling Crocheted Taxidermy Animals
I have seen a lot of crocheted things throughout the years here at Bit Rebels. We stumble over that stuff or people send it to us several times each week. Crocheted things are always creative, and they usually involve some cute little creations which pretty much make everyone say "awwww!" when they ...
Laptop Kama Sutra
The time you spend in front of the computer if you are a designer, programmer or an office worker is sometimes insane when you start to think about it.

SPAM: Email Bandits Cause Insane Global Pollution [Infographic]
I think everyone is annoyed by the massive loads of email spam that continuously gets slammed into our inboxes. People have tried over and over to come up with the ultimate spam filter, but there are always some emails that slip through that shouldn't, and some that go into the spam inbox even thoug ...
Catapult Boy: Its Only Purpose Is To Be A Douchebag Item
What are you to do when you are a kid, you're insanely bored, and the only thing you have around you are a few friends to annoy the heck out of? Well, as a kid, you could probably think of a thousand things; however, as an adult, things become a little more complicated. After all, even though many p ...

7 Billion: How We Became So Many So Fast [Video Infographic]
Not too long ago, earth's 7 billionth citizen was born, and the world marked another milestone on its long timeline. There is a lot of information that can be derived from this number, and what it represents, that we really don't know much about. You might think that 7 billion is just a number that ...

World’s Most Realistic Ground Battle Warfare Simulator [Video]
Have you played any games lately? Maybe even an 8-bit game from the past? If not, I totally think you should. It will inspire you as retro games seem to do that if you are a big retro fan like me. I usually get very into anything that has to do with 8-bit, and if games are progressing the way they a ...

The Colorful History Of Video Game Animation [Infographic]
There is more to being a gamer that just knowing how to kick ass when playing pretty much any game you can think of. It also has a lot to do with knowing where things are headed as well. To be ahead of the "game" means you have to master the way things are produced on the screen, and many times the ...
Siri vs. Furby: The Oddest Tech Conversation Ever Heard
If you are familiar with the saying that sometimes technologies "speak" to each other, you know that it means two devices can share information between the two. It doesn't mean they actually talk. There are a lot of different expressions that tech geeks have come up with in order to simplify the exp ...
Steampunk Avengers & Justice League Superhero Figurines
There are a ton of superhero movies being released these days, and pretty much every single one (except for a few), makes box office history by earning hundreds of millions of dollars during its time on the chart. It's no wonder though, people seem to want to escape their reality for just a few hour ...
DIY “They Live” Alien Masks: Retro Sci-Fi Brilliance
They Live is one of my favorite sci-fi movies from the '80s. It's definitely in my top 5. Not only am I a huge John Carpenter fan, it features wrestler Rowdy Roddy Piper. It just doesn't get any better than a story about aliens trying to take over the Earth, and human beings can't see them unless th ...
20 Hilarious Stormtrooper Lifestyle Portraits
We here at Bit Rebels love photography, and we constantly look at new photos so we can soak up the inspiration from them. I think everyone will agree with me when I say that when it comes to photography, there is so much that could potentially inspire you that you can't really afford, as a designer, ...
Grandparents Cosplay: Aged Star Wars Superhero Photography
There is a lot of talk about cosplay all around the web, isn't there? If you aren't too involved, it can be quite hard to keep track of everything and what it is all about. All you really have to know is that cosplay is about dressing up as your favorite character or "thing," and it's somewhat like ...
