Thermoelectric Power Felt: Charge Your Phone With Your Butt
With regard to technology, a year can feel like ten years. It progresses so fast.

10 Geek Aprons: Wonder Woman, Batman, Harley Quinn, Mario & More
I've noticed before that in pictures of women in the kitchen (and other parts of the house) from the 50s and 60s, they are almost always wearing an apron.

Stunning Papercraft That Goes Far Beyond Intricate Folds

I haven't written about a pair of flat shoes since I started writing here at Bit Rebels, but there's a first time for everything, right?

Intoxicase: iPhone Case That Tracks Beer Bottles Opened
Not too long ago, Diana wrote an article about the iBottleOpener. It's an iPhone case with an inbuilt bottle opener. It's not really complicated at all, and the name should pretty much give that whole thing away. It became quite a viral thing when it came out 6 months ago, but it has since died down ...

However, even as a woman, I think these ads are hilarious. Did women really have to deal with this crap back in the 50s? Really? It's a good thing I was ...
Lego Church: A Full-Size Real Church Adorned In Lego
This is my kind of church! If there were a church made out of Lego in my town, I'd be the first one there every Sunday morning. I'd be sitting in the front row instead of sitting at my computer writing about one, like I'm doing right now. Unfortunately, this design is only temporary. Why... why why? ...

4 Snowy Crop Circles: Extraordinary Winter Art
File this one in the "what will they think of next?" category. Artists continually amaze me with their insane ideas of what they can or should do. Simon Beck is no exception.
