Crystal Bubble: See The World By Living Your Life In Transparency
The world has some beautiful scenery to show us, if we're at the right place at the right time. It's quite interesting that humans still cling to the housing of 4 solid walls with a couple of peep-hole windows incorporated into them. Why is that? Before we started to build houses where we can pre ...
Star Wars Coasters To Geekify Your Brewski
If you're one of those people who really is fanatically obsessed with not having stains on your table after you've set down a bottle of beer, soda or just a glass of water, then you definitely have piles of coasters laying around at home ready to bust out. I'm more the kind of person who doesn't th ...

Yup, the aftermath of Valentine's Day is upon us, and some people are beyond happy while others are, well let's just say, less in the groove of things.

Architecture Slide: Another Reason To Stay Young Forever
Around a couple years ago, we started seeing posts and articles on pretty much every blog and website about multinational companies and their offices springing up like wildflowers. We got grand tours in either images or video on Google, Digg, Facebook and even Twitter. It's insanely inspirational ...

Are You Secretly A Slacker? [Infographic]
Today I read something that someone sarcastically wrote in the news that read, "Americans are just a bunch of slackers." I paused for a moment to think about that statement. Why would someone write that? Is it possible there is an element of truth to it? Nah...

Unusual Boot Collection: Would You Wear Them?
I'm from a tropical country (Manila, Philippines), and we rarely wear boots since they can get pretty warm. However, after moving to a country that has four seasons (the States) and moving during the winter season, I needed to do some serious shopping for boots, and I am glad I did. Wearing them r ...

Why Do Freeways Come To A Stop? [Infographic]
I think I speak for pretty much everyone when I say that sometimes when you're on your way home from work, and you're taking the freeway, you have more than often found yourself in the middle of a fender bender traffic situation. Not only is it heavily time consuming, but the annoyance about not kn ...

I Love Stats: Birth Rate Statistics For The USA [Infographic]
Ever since I watched Hans Rosling's "The Joy of Stats," I've been thinking more about our world statistics and population. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. It's a four-minute augmented reality presentation plotting 120,000 statistics from 200 countries over the past 200 years.

5 Reasons Why Knowing Your Strengths Is Important!
Have you ever taken a test to actually determine your strengths and your weaknesses? I remember as a part of our planning sessions at work, we were asked to make a SWOT analysis before making any recommendations. Have you had the chance to do that for your own business? Even more importantly, hav ...

UPS vs. FedEx: Surprising Stats Compared [Infographic]
Every other day or so I get a shipment from some producer, publisher or as of lately, someone who wants Bit Rebels to review their gadgets. As you might have guessed, it's either delivered by UPS or FedEx (occasionally even DHL). And if I am completely honest, I have never even bothered to see wha ...
The Octopus That Lives In A Beer Bottle
We talk a lot about recycling on Bit Rebels. We only have one planet Earth, and once it's ruined, we can't just make another one. We have to each take responsibility and do our individual parts to help the environment thrive. It's really the only way to make a difference. It really takes the par ...
A Social Experiment: Can Complete Strangers Fool You?
This is really interesting because when you think about it, we've all seen movies where the actors and actresses had chemistry. It doesn't even have to be a sexual chemistry, it could just be a chemistry that sucks us in and makes us believe what they are saying. If a movie is good, we'll get lost ...
Life: The Ultimate Instruction Manual For Men
When I was growing up, my dad took good care of us. He always made sure we had food on the table and clothes on our back. I bet it is hard for some fathers out there to juggle making sure they earn a good living to provide for their families and taking care of the house to make sure everything is ...

The United States of Awesome and Shame [Infographic]
If you live in the United States like I do, you know that some states do things more or less than other states. For example, I live in the south, which is the Bible Belt of the country. It's no surprise that down here there are the most churches and the highest rate of church attendance compared t ...
