Social Media Sharing & The Value Of Immediacy
When it comes to social media, we're always looking for new ways to share what we're doing, and to see what everyone else is doing too. We might say it's because of human nature and our inbred curiosity and even our desire for superiority-- to have the most followers, likes, or comments on our blogs ...
Sweet Tweet: A Bubblegum Reward For Adding Twitter Followers
You always hear everyone say that on Twitter, it's not about how many followers you have, it's about how you engage and connect with the followers you do have. I agree with that perspective because a handful of meaningful social media friendships is much more valuable than tweeting to a bunch of str ...
Behind Photographs: The People Behind The Famous Photos

The All Ears Women’s iPhone 4S Case Is Pure Stealth
If you have been reading Bit Rebels for a while, you know that I write about iPhone cases quite often. It's because we think accessories help people make their stuff personal.

Inspiring Illustrations Created By Artists With Autism
Before I started reading about Autism in my Twitter stream a few years ago, I had never heard of it before. In America, there has been a 600% increase in Autism over the past two decades. Of course, some of that increase can be attributed to awareness and better ways to diagnose it; however, it's on ...
The Mesmerizing Sony Laptop Steampunk Treatment
Not too long ago, I spent a good two hours cleaning my computer. I cleaned both inside and out. You might think that I am talking about the hard drive right now, but even though I did that too, I was actually doing some rather meticulous cleaning inside the case. Over time, the computer collects a l ...

Extreme Photography That Borders On The Insane
I am a huge admirer of the imagination that some photographers possess. It's like their eye shutter is something completely different than what us ordinary people have. Their motifs and setups are sometimes beyond what you could even imagine. Just have a look at the photographs that Diana featured y ...
Beavis & Butthead IRL: Realistic Sculptures (Complete With Zits)
This is definitely the WTF of the day. I never got into Beavis and Butthead. I just don't think I've ever drunk enough alcohol to fully appreciate them. To me, they always seemed like dumb, crude and mostly ugly cartoons that made teenage boys laugh. Usually the stunts they pulled always fell into t ...
Fantasy Cosplay: Alice In Wonderland Wedding Photography
A lot of designers and artists seem to be inspired by Alice in Wonderland. It's one of those stories that just opens our imaginations to endless possibilities. Johnny Depp was such a brilliant actor in the Disney movie, and he just added a whole additional layer of magic and mystery to it all.

So what do you do when you have finally used up all your colored Lego blocks, and you are left with bucket loads of black, gray and white ones (and of course an array of assorted scattered colors)?

20 Pictures That Define The Word EPIC
People who know me are quite aware of the fact that I like to use the word "epic" when I write. I don't know why that word has become such an every day word for me, but I like the meaning of it. What would life be without a little bit of epicness in it, right? We all live our lives the way we feel i ...
Sci-Fi Chic: A Colorful Look At Dreamy Futuristic Fashions
Have you ever wondered what fashion will look like in the future? I'm talking about hundreds of years in the future. Will it be stylish and reflect the attitudes of that generation or will it return to basic, no fuss function? Usually when I see predictions about what it will look like, designers po ...
