Epic Sauron Tower Recreated With 50,000 Lego Blocks
It just so happens that we haven't published anything about Lego in quite a while (Not!). Since we haven't published anything about Lego since last week, I thought I would go ahead and write something in that category today. And boy did I ever find something you guys are going to love. We've seen ep ...
Emergency Underpants Dispenser: Epic WTF Of The Day
Once in a while a "gadget" comes along that makes you a little uneasy. It's not that you feel uneasy to the point where you are clueless as to why the thing even exists, but just by the sheer oddness of the thing itself. We've seen our share of odd creations, don't get me wrong, and I am sure they a ...
Pop Culture Ice Cream: Darth Vader, Super Mario And More
As we approach the summer with huge steps (in fact it might already be here), it's getting hotter and hotter outside. The ability to cool down is ever more appreciated. We're used to drinking a lot of water or possibly beer, and every so often we even go for an ice cream just to make sure we don't o ...
Terminator 2: As A Drawing Stop Motion Movie
I remember the first time I saw Terminator. Back then, it was one of those movie experiences that would come to last a lifetime. The effects were amazing, and the storyline was fresh and brutal in many aspects. You had to really think about it for a moment since it didn't really made any sense when ...
8-Bit Mapping: We’re Living In A Retro World
With all this new technology constantly becoming better and cheaper, there is a community out there that is just dying to make the most of it. Projectors are getting cheaper by the minute, and the more powerful they are the better, at least to the guys that are into "Mapping." It's a new kind of mov ...
Superheroes The Pablo Picasso Way
There are some awesome posters dedicated to superheroes out there, and we have shown you quite a bit of them. However, as with everything, there is always going to be something that comes along that beats whatever we have published before. We really work hard to find the very best in each category, ...
Jupiter Beer Case Castle Build: Made To Last
Any man-made structure these days seems to be created in order to make an impression. There are no longer houses being built just to make sense. They all have to be insanely impressive, and I find that quite awesome. First we have the everlasting "tallest" build class. That's a class of builds that ...
How To: Pimp Your Smartphone Celebrity Style
How many times do you see someone whose phone looks and sounds just like it did when they first bought it at the store? Almost never, right? Whether it's a case, engravings, ringtones, covers, apps or backgrounds, we all like to customize our smartphones. We like to add some personality and make the ...
The Proof: The Life Size Lego Volvo Isn’t Fake!
This article is kind of special to me since it could be considered part two of the article "Can't Afford A Car? Build A Lego One..." I wrote that one right when Bit Rebels began, and now we are over 2 years old. The article I wrote back then is still one of the most successful articles we've ever ha ...
Star Wars & Star Trek Dollar Bill Origami
There is a whole ranking kind of community when it comes to origami. I don't think everyone knows this, but there are actually pretty cool competitions around the world where contestants get to show off their skills by creating some rather spectacular origami creations that go beyond what you previo ...
All Your Math Education Compressed Into 3 Minutes
I think you could say I enjoy math quite a bit. It's not because I am cleverly educated in the field, but just because I find the order of it interesting to poke around in. Math is also one of the main ingredients when programming, and most of the time you do calculations in order to put stuff on th ...

Fantasies vs. Realities Of A Startup [Infographic]
Starting a company isn't exactly an easy endeavor. You have to be a certain kind of person in order to stick with it, and as much as you need energy, you also need discipline. Your business won't run itself if you know what I mean. To start, run and maintain a business of your own is one of the hard ...
Super Mario X-Men Mashup Is As Awesome As It Sounds
We love mashups here at Bit Rebels. They might come across as weird and out of context sometimes, but we don't really care. Anything that has to do with creativity and a different perspective we're all over. It just has to be seen because of the fact that it's different. We can't go on idolizing the ...
Zelda Chess: The Ultimate Hand Carved Geek Creation
Chess is one of the oldest board games ever created, and it puts our skills to the ultimate test. Our opponent is what lies between us and an honorable victory, so playing smart is the only thing we should care about. However, that's not such an easy task, and we need many years of practice to maste ...
The Elastic Alphabet: Rubber Band Typography
It's easy to see why so many people like typography in all its shapes and forms. There is a correct definition for typography that is quite specific, but there seems to be a multitude of opinions about that. Typography to many people is just text plotted out in various forms, shapes and constellatio ...
