One of the most important aspects of any company's Internet security policy seems to be whether or not their employees should be allowed to use Facebook or not. I think it is really ridiculous that this way of thinking even exists. I guess I can understand it when you look at all the people who are ...

Art With Salt: Link & Super Mario Created With Salt [Videos]

Salt is probably one of the most important ingredients when cooking, and I am sure most people out there don't use salt for any other purpose than cooking or sprinkling on food. The thing is, I didn't either until I came across a couple of videos last night. Salt can make pretty much anything taste ...

EarOnic: The iPhone 4 Stealth Case Is Here For Laughs

I bet many of you out there are gearing up for the launch of the new iPhone 5, which is said to be coming out in October. There have of course been a lot of unofficial reports about just what this new hype kid of the technology industry is going to include when it is revealed. What many "experts" ar ...

A Stunning Stormtrooper Helmet Created From Adidas Sneakers

Earlier this month, Richard wrote an article about a new website called Star Wars Remix. It's a site dedicated to everything Star Wars, and if you have an ordinary item in your daily life that is modded into something Star Wars, you can submit it for publishing. I keep saying I'm going to send in a ...

Floating Houses: Levitation Photography Gets Spooky

If you remember, a few months ago the self-levitating photography art of Natsumi Hayashi, the teenager from Tokyo, exploded on the Internet. Once that happened, suddenly it became cool to levitate. We even published an article that explained how to photograph yourself in the air. It seems as thou ...

Cute Crocheted Craft: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

A few years ago, crocheting, knitting and needle felting were thought of as hobbies for grandmas. We didn't hear much about trendy designs created this way, and surely no hipster or geek would be caught dead with a pair of knitting needles. However, all of that has changed now, and these styles of c ...

Star Wars Operation Game: Help C-3PO Operate On R2-D2

I often see updated versions of classic games as they become available. Unless it has to do with Super Mario or a Rubik's Cube, I'm usually not inspired about it enough to write about it. However, when I saw this game, I immediately put it on my master list for Santa Claus. One of my very favorit ...

A Window That Closes Automatically When Train Approaches

I know it sounds kinda strange, but I've always thought innovative windows and curtains were interesting. When you add a techno-geek flavor to them, it makes it all even better. When I stayed in a suite at the Ritz Carlton in Shanghai, the floor to ceiling drapes opened and closed with a switch on t ...

Dressing Super Mario: Nintendo 8-Bit Virtual Model Kits

One of my favorite subjects to write about here on Bit Rebels is the 8-bit style of graphics. It's such a retro thing to me (and to millions more, I am sure) and whenever I get the chance, I try to position myself to come across these gems. However, what I have discovered is that there are two kinds ...

For The Artist In Your Life: The Happy Accidents Tablecloth

When I was a child, I had an art teacher once who used to always tell us, "In art, there are no such things as mistakes, only happy accidents." I always remembered that my whole life. I think it's a great attitude and simple philosophy to remember when applied to any form of creativity. If we adopt ...

Upcycled Vintage Gear: The Ultimate Pet Bed Upgrade

Have you ever come across those people who treat their pets like royalty? Maybe you are even one of those people who constantly tries to make your pet feel like the center of the earth, and you go beyond what is humanly possible to give it food, clothes and toys that could possibly keep it busy unti ...

A Futuristic Digital Library Created With Colorful LED Books

Now that I read about this more, I'm not sure if looks like a futuristic library or a library museum. One thing is for sure though, with all the creative ways artists are interpreting books lately, it seems they are no longer primarily used for reading anymore. However, that doesn't necessarily mean ...

Paper Roll Portraits: Amazingly Creative Paper Art

I have always found it impressive to see how differently people look at a piece of paper. While some people might see an origami fold, other people see a funny comic. The range of things you can create with a piece of paper is endless, and the only thing that will really hold you back is your own im ...
