A Stunning Tribute To Butterflies, Fashion & Photography
I love butterflies, and I always have. Whenever I see one, I always have to stop what I'm doing to admire it. These fragile, colorful insects are a symbol of grace, beauty and elegance. Here in the States, if a butterfly lands on your shoulder, it's considered a sign of good luck.
When I was i ...
And You Thought Texting While Driving Was Dangerous…
This is nuts! We've all had it drilled into our brains over the past year about how dangerous it is to text and drive. It remains a serious problem, especially for those drivers between the ages of 18 and 24. Here in Georgia, there was recently a law passed which bans the use of cell phone textin ...
Cupcake Lovers Rejoice: Cupcake Inspired Goodies!
I love cupcakes, and I know our entire team at the office loves them too. At the office, we are quite spoiled when it comes to cupcakes. We have Marga, an office mate, who is a master baker.

Juicy Reading: The Blog For Disgruntled Ex-Apple Employees
So, this isn't brand new, it's been around since August, but I just found out about it yesterday. As someone who works very closely with Apple on a daily basis, it was a little entertaining and juicy to see what happens behind the scenes through the eyes of an ex-Apple employee.
Yep, that's righ ...
A Boozer’s Dream: A Collection of 6,788 Unique Beer Cans
Forget a wine cellar with a collection of prestigious bottles of wine, instead, how would you like to have a good 'ol fashioned beer can collection? I would love that! (Don't tell @RickBakas! Lol) We are big beer fans here at Bit Rebels, and we've probably written dozens of articles about beer and ...
Help The Homeless: 10 Ways That Don’t Cost Money!
Earlier this week, I coordinated a luncheon to serve the homeless men and women in Atlanta. Because working with the homeless is a cause that is important to me, I occasionally send tweets about it. I knew we were going to have a lot of hungry people show up for lunch, but I didn't know how we were ...
How To: Make Harry Potter Butterbeer
I haven't seen Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows yet. Ok, truth time, I haven't seen any of the Harry Potter movies. I know, it's almost inhuman to say that. I promise you, I really do have a heartbeat. It's just that there is so much marketing surrounding everything Harry Potter that I feel ...
A Once Hidden Cave City: 6,000 Homes Built In A Rock
Wow, I have never seen anything like this before. This is an 800-year-old cave city (for lack of a better word). It is obviously man-made, which blows my mind.
The story behind it is even more fascinating. This city, named Vardzia, is located in Georgia, where Eastern Europe and Western Asia c ...
What Is The Hardest Thing You Will Wrap For Christmas?
After Halloween, the next big holiday to look forward to is Christmas. Well, that is, unless you live in the United States and you celebrate Thanksgiving. I love the Christmas season. The streets become all lit up, and the houses and buildings are adorned with Christmas decorations. You can hear ...
Retro Pac-Man Cookies: Now You Can Chomp Those Ghosts!
Cookies are one of life's yummiest pleasures, and making them is one of my favorite parts of the holidays.

Living For The Weekend: Your Guide To Enjoying The Weekend!
Weekends are sacred to me! TGIF (thank God it's Friday) always means what it stands for to many people who love the weekends! We all work hard during the week. We get caught up in so many work details that we often just crash into bed when we get home on weekdays. There are even days when the lo ...
Shot In The Pint: A Beer And A Shot At The Same Time…
How many times have you been told that mixing beer and liquor is not the best of ideas? Still we do it (or rather, some do). I don't consider myself much of a drinker, and it's usually weeks in between even having a beer. I guess it has never really caught my fancy, but that doesn't stop me from ...
1,000 Articles and Yet There Is More…
It took 529 days for me to write 1,000 articles. Anyone with a sense for math knows that's roughly 2 articles a day, every day. And that's pretty much what we do over here at Bit Rebels, and we do this because we love it. The sharing of geeky awesomeness is what keeps us motivated and inspired. I ca ...
Wrap-a-Nap: Part Pillow, Part Blindfold Makes You Look…
The world is filled with super cool inventions and ideas. All you really have to do is to take a look around you, and I am sure you will at least find a couple of hundred inventions that you don't even think about during your everyday chores. The fact is that when something has passed the boundari ...
How To Dance: An Emergency Guide For Men!
Dancing is an art form or means of self expression. Some people do it for a living, and other people have just taken a few dance lessons in the past. My mom is a great dancer, she has over 100 trophies. However, when my dad was still with us, he could only dance to the slow songs.
