Guy Creates The Apple Logo By Running With A GPS In Tokyo

Unusual Sports Of The World: Underwater Boxing
As we all know, the weirder something is, the more attention it gets. I don't even think I have to constructively explain why that is because it is quite obvious in my eyes. It's simply that things we haven't seen before we tend to look at. It's like when you are watching one of those forensic serie ...

A Tribute To Steve Jobs [Chart & Infographic]
Just like with Michael Jackson's death and the Gulf Oil Spill, I found out about Steve Jobs announcing his resignation in my Twitter stream. I follow over 50,000 people, and for about four hours, around 30% of all the tweets I saw were about him. My technology company in Atlanta is certified by Appl ...

Jedi Cats: Perfectly Normal Cat Behavior [Video]
I am reluctant to do it, but I just have to. I am one of those people who was initially overly excited about all the cat videos on the Internet, but with a million websites covering the subject, I have gotten bored with it. Well, not really bored, but there have simply been too much of the goodness ...

Forget Planking & Owling, Now There’s Beheading! [12 Pics]
*Warning: This is stupid* Dang these trends come and go quickly, don't they? I remember as recently as two months ago, planking was all the rage. Then all of a sudden, last month planking was replaced by owling. Owling came and went so fast I didn't even have time to write about it. So much for that ...
Darth Vapour: Iconic Steampunk Leather Helmet
One of the most recognizable movie characters ever created must be Lord Vader or Darth Vader as we all know him. This Star Wars mega character has one of the most original outfits and personalities of any movie figure I have ever seen. His whole aura breathes evil, and to say anything else would be ...
How To: Break YouTube The Desperado Way
I am what you would call an Internet advertiser's worst nightmare. Why? Well, I don't much click on ads unless they speak to my geeky senses. I always feel like I am ignoring important messages when they are added to a website in the form of an ad, and that has lead me to completely disregard ads if ...
Star Trek Cat Tree: For Trekkies With Cats
To keep up my newly found stream of Star Trek awesomeness, I found something that every trekkie will find totally irresistable. We all know that cats have made their noise on the interwebs, and that YouTube is literally littered with them being all cute and funny. I wouldn't even be able to correctl ...
PPC vs. SEO: A Beginner’s Introduction To Both
One question that people often ask me is, "Which is better, PPC or SEO?" It's interesting because it seems like the majority of people I follow on Twitter are fans of SEO, and the majority of people I know offline prefer PPC. For me, it's a clear choice. I'm very familiar both, and I've had extensiv ...
Knitted Spock Hat: How Star Trek Fans Keep Their Domes Warm
Over here at Bit Rebels we have a tendency to talk a lot about Star Wars, right? Well, I have been thinking about that a lot, and maybe we should be giving homage to Star Trek as well. After all, it's the second science fiction series to inspire the world when it comes to technology and inventions. ...
Hand Soap: Literally! Nuff Said…
The geekiness of the some of the products out there is sometimes well beyond my expectations, and it's when you find something that you have never thought of before that you really have to show it off. If you think about it, how many times have you walked into a store and found yourself saying, "Dam ...
King Koopa’s Super Mario Propaganda Posters
There has been infinite support for Super Mario through the years, and of course that is because he is the hero of his whole concept. However, if you thought that was the only side that people are voting for, then you are ultimately wrong. There is the evil side as well, and King Koopa is keeping hi ...
The Thuggie: The Most Comfortable Thing You Will Ever Wear
Oh how I remember the first time Diana wrote about the Snuggie For Geeks. It was an excellent article that many of our readers loved. It was one of those geeky and weird things that you just had to check out because it was so awesome. It wasn't very useful, and I don't think it would be very product ...
Children’s Artwork Comes Alive: Guaranteed To Bring Smiles
Did you used to draw and color a lot when you were young? I did. Back then, getting the big box of 64 crayons with the crayon sharpener on the back was better than winning the lottery. I spent countless hours in my bedroom coloring on any piece of paper I could find.
If you remember doing that to ...
R2-D2 Bicycle Helmet: Badass Just Got Badder!
When I was a little kid, everything seemed to be different than it is today. Games were in pixelated form, cartoons on TV weren't some annoying chubs running around screaming all the time, sneakers were cheaper, and we didn't have to wear a helmet when biking. In general, the world was a little less ...
