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 ...
Girls Of Geek Calendar Preview Pic
This is a little bit of an odd subject, but I thought it would interest some of you. We never pass up (almost never at least) the opportunity to help promote awesome photographers who keep their minds young and their inspiration fresh. This is especially true when they turn to the community of geeks ...

How Will You Die: The Complete Look Up Guide [Infographic]
Our time here on this beautiful planet is numbered in seconds, and even if you want to know, there is no figuring out just how long you get to hang around. When your day comes to check out and leave your stuff to the younger people of the world, there is nothing you can really do about it. I bet tha ...
A Modern Day Christmas Card: A Clear Shift In Focus
What if I were to say that the world is quickly shifting into a place where the virtual world citizen is way more influential than the person living inside the real world? With everything moving so fast, especially technology, and with new people signing up for social networking accounts pretty much ...

Now this is a drink making machine that would make William Shakespeare proud... nah, how about Charles Dickens or Mark Twain... no, still not right, how about J.K. Rowling... now that's what I'm talkin about! Now you can type out a literary masterpiece and then drink those words right up.

Your Life Before & After The Internet Goes Down [Humor]
What do you do when your Internet goes down? We've already seen the scientific study which determined that Americans go crazy even when their Internet is slow (it took official research to figure that out?), but what about if it goes out altogether? Richard and I always joke about who has the better ...

Every Revision To The Star Wars Movies Since 1977 [Infographic]
If you have been awake at all lately, you probably have not missed the new box release of the Star Wars series on Blu-ray, right? Well, if you have, then you must have either been insanely busy or you just don't give a rat's ass. It's pretty much everywhere these days. If it's not on an ad in a pape ...
QR Code Island: When Hi-Tech & Low-Tech Combine
Interesting things always seem to happen when high-tech and low-tech materials get mixed together into creative art. We've featured this before in an art installation that combined textiles and technology. The result of that design was dozens of LED flowers that were truly stunning.
Today I'd lik ...
Drainage Tube Hotel: Next Generation Recycled Living
The space we occupy in this physical world is getting ever smaller while the space we take up virtually is getting ever larger. It's quite interesting really how we're migrating into the virtual world one step at a time. I am guessing in 50 years the world will look a lot different than it looks tod ...
12 Past Present & Future Corporate Logo Designs
Following the evolution of logos is fascinating. I'm not a designer, but I think one of the keys to a successful logo change is keeping the essence of the original, but making it different, if that makes sense. It's similar to watching someone with a lot of followers on Twitter change their avatar, ...

Geeks vs. Nerds: The Anatomy [Infographic]
Everyone and their mother is going around saying they are a geek just because they feel they... well, want to be a geek. However, there are of course some requirements necessary in order to fit the profile of the modern day stereotype. I could probably go on and on about what it "takes" (for lack of ...
8 Lines That Would Have Ended Star Wars Really Fast
Not too long ago, there was (and I think they are still making them) cartoon videos on YouTube which dealt with alternate endings for popular movies. The series, created by HISEH.com, is called How "insert movie name here" Should Have Ended and shows the possibilities of making the movies really, re ...

Another day another mashup! That's how it is here at Bit Rebels, and we love it!

We feature a lot of mashups here, and mostly they've been Sta ...
Nike Air Mags Are In Lego As Well!
So how do you like those new Nike Air Mags? They're pretty sweet, aren't they? When I saw that Nike had created those badboys, I was eager to check them out. As a matter of fact, I was like a kid on the night before Christmas. Then the news came out that the first pair sold for an obnoxious amount o ...
