How To: Transform Old Books Into Holiday Pumpkins

Whenever I write an article about cutting up old books to recycle them into a new use, part of me cringes.

Superhero costumes have changed a lot over the years.

Steampunk Xbox 360 Controller Will Rejuvenate Your Gaming

It's time for another tidbit of steampunk here on Bit Rebels. We love it, but we don't get sent very much of it, and it seems we don't manage to stumble across anything that is worth mentioning very often. However, that of course doesn't mean there isn't anything out there that should definitely be ...

These are the geekiest, most creative and fantastic wedding invitations I've seen in a long time.

We are all familiar with the classic pin-up girl pictures. We've seen them in retro Coca-Cola ads and in calendars and posters from way back when.
