LOTR Middle Earth: Entirely Created Out Of Lego
As some of you may remember, I wrote about the Barad-dür tower made entirely out of Lego a couple of days ago. It was widely appreciated, and we've had a lot of interest in that one ever since. It was one of those epic builds that we rarely get to feature here on Bit Rebels. We're constantly on the ...
World’s First Chocolate Record That Plays Music
When I was a little girl, not only did I have to walk through snow to get to the bus stop every day, but I also had to listen to music on what was called a record. See kids, we had it rough back then. We would put the record on a record player and joyfully dance to the scratchy low quality sound. Of ...
The Sleepover Show: Perfect For Twitter Insomniacs
When I read about this, the first thing I thought of was how so many of my Twitter friends (including me) have trouble sleeping. I don't know whether what we have is officially insomnia, or if it's just a massive twitter addiction. Maybe it's a combination of both. We can make up a new word called T ...

The Anatomy Of An Effective Web Design [Infographic]
When creating a new website, there are a lot of things to consider before getting down to the nitty gritty stuff. There needs to be a requirements list, and a plan about how to lay it all out in order for the user (visitors) to enjoy the experience while browsing around on it. The graphics and the e ...
Censorship Doesn’t Always Tell The Right Story
I think we all know of some sort of censorship when we think about it. Censorship has two different camps that each have their good and bad points when it comes to why we need it, and why we don't. Sometimes I think censorship is taken a little too far, and yet other people complain about it not bei ...
LOTR & World Of Warcraft Stained Glass
As we have said before here on Bit Rebels, art comes in many forms and shapes, and it's not always clear that it is art you're looking at. This is especially true when we are so used to seeing some of the crazy things people send to us. Well, this one is rather easy to spot, and it doesn't take long ...
Badass Tyrannosaurus Rex Created From 1,400 Balloons
I have a soft spot for balloon sculptures. I worked in a balloon store for several years when I was in high school. When I got my driver's license, I started dressing up as a clown and delivering balloons to people in the hospital. I've made several balloon sculptures over the years. Most of the tim ...
Ghana’s eWasteland: Living On The Legacy Of The Digital World

The Science Behind Smelly Robot Armpits
If there were robots that looked exactly like humans roaming the earth, would you be able to tell the difference? There have been some really cool science fiction movies with these kind of robots, and as fast as robot technology is developing, it's not inconceivable that someday we might all have ou ...
How To: Not Be Boring On Twitter
Just like everyone else, when I first got on Twitter in March of 2009, I didn't know what to tweet. I followed a few people and just watched them. I didn't tweet anything for a few days because I was so nervous about it. Looking back, it seems kind of silly. A few weeks into my life on Twitter, I so ...

Star Wars Meets Lord Of The Rings: Nuff Said!
We all love Star Wars, and we all love Lord of The Rings. If we didn't, these two franchises wouldn't be the runaway successes that they are today. They both have sword fights in them; however, in completely different time periods of course. It seems that we are mesmerized by the depth of these stor ...
