Uh Oh, Here We Go Again: Why Men Die Before Women Part 2
A few weeks ago, I wrote an article entitled This Is Why Men Die Before Women. It was a post with 14 very lovely pictures showing the brilliance of men around the world (not). I will never understand why some men think it's smart to do some of the crazy things they do, but I guess that's because I'm ...
Every Hipster Fashion Style Comes From A Lonely Geek
It should come as no surprise to anyone that fashion has to start somewhere. There are countless examples of things that start to become popular just because they are quirky, weird and people initially start to wear it just to stand out. The hipster fashion trends are the ones that are the most sens ...
The World’s Most Shocking Beer (Made With Roadkill)
For some people, this article might be downright disturbing. This has got to be one of the biggest "WTFs" I've ever written about. Each one of the bottles of beer you see below costs $770. Dang, and I thought $9 for a six-pack was high. There were only 12 bottles of this beer made. As you can see, t ...
The World’s Only Female 10th Degree Black Belt (She’s 98)
I love celebrating the life victories of strong and successful women. I especially like to do this when they break a belief barrier. When that happens, our perspective changes, and we start to truly believe that anything is possible. Take beauty and age for example. There has long been a myth that o ...
The Japanese Sleeping Capsule For Nighttime Workaholics
Do you ever work late at your office? I do all the time. Misty and I have joked many times that we've woken up in the middle of the night with keyboard forehead, which is the impression your keyboard makes on your skin when you fall asleep on it. Lucky for me though, since I work from home, I only h ...
A Rare Look At The War In Afghanistan Captured On An iPhone
As an American, I know that our country is almost always at war, or at least it has been for the past decade or longer. I don't claim to understand all the tiny details and controversial politics surrounding the reasons why, but sometimes I feel like the leadership in this country has gone to the do ...
Manhattan Steampunk Apartment Now Up For Grabs!
Diana and I have been talking a lot about our future Bit Rebels office, and we're always coming up with some really awesome ideas for how we want it to look and feel. Of course, geek will be the main theme of the whole thing, and we wouldn't want it any other way. After all, we are all about geekine ...

The Guide To Employee Morale [Humor]
I've been reading more and more reports lately that talk about how much Americans don't like their jobs. It's really disturbing, considering how much time we spend working during the day. I started a conversation about this on my facebook last week. I haven't worked in a traditional office for over ...
Photography: High Resolution Guts Of Candy Bars Scanned
I remember back in the days when scanners and printers were only used for documents. That was a loooong time ago. Combined with new technology, today scanners and printers can do some stuff that would blow your mind. Just the fact that we can create a wearable bikini and edible food from 3D printers ...
Old People In Love: A Warm & Fuzzy Photography Collection
In an earlier article today, I asked if you would want to live forever, if you could. Now I have another question for you. Do you believe love lasts forever? Do you think all relationships eventually run their course, and people either move on or stay out of convenience? Or, is it possible to be in ...
1962 vs. 2011: The Price Tag On Living Life
People are always comparing Microsoft with Apple. We even do it a lot on this blog. It's just such a great story. It's like watching a movie play out in real life. Here's an interesting little tidbit... Did you know that during the last quarter, Apple took in more revenue from iPhone and iPad sales ...
How To: Live Forever (Ok, Maybe Not, But Almost)
If you could live forever, would you want to? Seriously, if there was a way, aside from becoming a vampire, that you could live forever and never die, would that appeal to you? I don't even have to think about it for more than a minute. My answer is heck no. As a matter of fact, I'm looking forward ...
College Students & Technology: A Sign Of The Times
Over the past few months, there has been some interesting information released regarding students and how they use social media and technology in general. We all know that iPads have started to replace textbooks in some schools, but I'm talking about more that that, I'm talking about the way that te ...
The Art & Science Behind The Perfect S’more
If you love spending weekends in the mountains like I do, you know that everything tastes better when it's cooked over a campfire. When I'm in the city, I would never choose to eat Beanee Weenees or Easy Cheese on crackers, but in the woods, suddenly that stuff is a gourmet meal, and it tastes delic ...
Commercialism Illustrated: The Room Adorned With 100,000 Dollar Bills
With the economy in a state of uncertainty at the moment, it's very interesting to me to see how people choose to spend their money. I like to write about it sometimes, not from the perspective of judging whether or not I agree with it, but more from the standpoint of just being an observer.
