Guy Takes His Band On The Road, Literally! [Video]
The silliness we get to check out each and every day is sometimes epic in nature. There's never a dull moment, and we are constantly on the edge of doubting that the things people send to us are not real or true. However, most of the time they are, and it's mind boggling every time. I remember a cou ...
Star Trek Quiet Book: Teach Toddlers To Be Trekkies
I remember just last month when Richard wrote about the Jedi Quiet Book, which we thought was such a creative way to teach children about the magic of Star Wars. Of course, a lot of people at that time asked, what about Star Trek? Juliebelle has answered that request, and she just completed her Star ...
Tetris Art: A Luigi Pattern Created While Playing Tetris
I remember Tetris in the arcades in the '80s. It was always next to Pac-Man, Galaga, Space Invaders, Arkanoid and the other classics. Tetris was a little different though, and it attracted a different kind of player. Tetris was known back then as being the video game for the "smart kids," and I didn ...
HTML For Babies: Give Your Toddler A Head Start
All we really have to know in life is that anything is possible. Whatever it is that you want to accomplish, there is a way. That doesn't mean there won't be a lot of work involved. Nothing comes for free in this world, and as long as you know that, it's just to have a go at your dreams. However say ...
Stunning Gears Of War Lego Rubber Band Rifle
I am not the one to play those first person gory shooters that keep coming out these days. I am more of an adventure kind of gamer, and I would definitely go for more open-ended gameplay like Eve Online, Minecraft and to some extent World of Warcraft. However, there are certainly a lot of people out ...
Darth Vader’s Imperial March Played On Floppy Drives
The geek is strong with this one! I don't put a lot of videos in my Bit Rebels articles because I know you are busy, and you don't have time to sit there and watch a video unless it's really, really good. Well, this one is really, really good! It was just put on YouTube four days ago, and it's alrea ...
Anti-Geek Commercial: Break Free Of The Pixel
I think most of us are not exactly overjoyed when we are watching a movie and a commercial interrupts our intense experience. It is; however, a necessary nuance in order for us to even be able to see a movie without having to pay a price close to a what a movie ticket would be. It seems that commer ...

If Star Wars Characters Had Access To Google [Infographic]
Most people I know use the Internet all day every day to extract information pertaining to every aspect of life. Whether we need to know something for work (marketing, sales, competition, tutorials) or something for home (relationships, recipes, weekend projects, movie previews), there is a certain ...

If Computer Problems Were Real… [Video]
Lately I have had the unfortunate luck to have two of my screens just completely stop working. I will have them replaced; however, it's the adapting to working on only a couple of screens that has set me a little on edge. When you are so used to a workflow that involves four screens, and when sudden ...
Oreo Crumb Case: Addiction Storage Pouch
I think everyone who has ever tasted an Oreo cookie knows that once you start eating them, the whole package is going to run out really fast. I am not talking about just having one or two cookies here. I am talking about us not being able to stop eating until the whole package is empty. The funny th ...
Mean Green Machine: A Freaky Xbox 360 Console Mod
There are game console modders, and then there is Kier. His motto is, "Why keep it standard if you can modify it?" This particular mod looks like the Hulk, and it's just as intimidating to me. What Kier is able to do with a couple of white Xbox 360s is truly mind-blowing. The clear acrylic panel on ...
Interview: X-Treme Geek – Where Being A Geek Is Big Business
Everyone who knows us here at Bit Rebels knows that we love to celebrate geeks, promote geeks and write about everything that has to do with being a geek. We often joke that someday geeks will inherit the earth, and if you're a geek, you know you are always welcome here. Gone are the days when geeks ...

Zombie Map: Now You Know Where They Are From [Data Map]
Many people keep asking themselves what they would do if the dead suddenly started rising. Alright, maybe not many people, but a few of you people out there actually do, and it is by all means a valid question worth digging deeper into. To answer it, I think we first need to know if this "phenomenon ...
This Geeky Kickass NES Mod Makes Me Hot & Heavy
Is it weird that I get so excited over a well-done, glossy, geeky NES mod? I hope not. We see a lot of these mods, but rarely are they as nicely done as this. The last time I saw an NES mod that was this cool was the one that was turned into a fabulous to-die-for lunchbox. If you want to see that on ...
When They Were Young: Baby Star Wars Characters
Before the prequels were released and George Lucas had just announced that he was working on another set of three movies I, along with millions of other Star Wars fans, got really excited. I believe it was about a couple of weeks after the announcement that we still didn't know whether it was going ...
