The Oldest Known Facebook User and Geek Alive
I love little old ladies, and I think this is the cutest story ever. Lillian Lowe has two big reasons to celebrate. She is about to turn 104 years old and she has just been crowned the oldest Facebook user in the world.
The reason she is known as a cyber-granny, also known as Supergran to her f ...
Papercraft: A Factory, An Office & People All Created With Paper!
It used to be that when I would write about papercraft art, it was because I was so blown away by what could be created with a piece of paper; however, now it's a little bit different. I have been so surprised and shocked by the intricate details and realism that can be created with a piece of pape ...
Artistic Inspiration: A Badass Steampunk Etch-A-Sketch
We've written a lot of articles about steampunk and etch-a-sketch on Bit Rebels, so it only makes sense to combine them both into what can only be described as a steampunk beauty.
Of all the steampunk creations I've seen, this one is definitely up there as one of my favorites. Reddit user Haloki ...
Darth Vader LEGO Alarm Clock: Waking You Up On The Dark Side
We have all had those days when we wake up on the wrong side of the bed so to speak. Everything from that second on from when you open your eyes goes wrong, and you just wish that it was time for another night of sleep so you could start fresh yet again. The sound from an alarm clock can be both dau ...
Retro Joystick Makes Your iPad That Much Cooler!
Recently Diana wrote about a suction cup iPad controller that plenty of people found quite interesting (I was one of them). But the retro feel of that "button" didn't fully tickle my fancy, so I set out to see if I could find one better. I wanted one that could make my wet retro dreams become realit ...
Skateboard Fails: Destroyed or Deformed Skateboards
People around the world celebrate the new year in different ways. Some people make new goals, some people eat black-eyed peas and collard greens (for good luck), some people get completely wasted and some people create destroyed or deformed skateboard art. Go figure.
To celebrate the new year, ...
An Artistic Dedication To Our Beloved QWERTY Keyboard
As a geek, when you are feeling a little tired and lazy, there is nothing cozier than a QWERTY keyboard. You can quickly type messages without even looking at the screen. It's not as sleek and sexy as a touchscreen keyboard, but it's fast and easy.
I hope we always have the option of a QWERTY k ...
SmartFish: Will The First Moving Keyboard Define The Future?
It's common knowledge that some people sustain severe damage while spending substantial time typing on a keyboard. There have been so many attempts to create the best ergonomic keyboard that our arms, hands and fingers could use, but the task seems to be dauntingly complex and difficult since we ar ...
A Geek’s Tombstone: Be Honored As A Geek Even After You Die
Yesterday Richard wrote an article about a service called Webwill that, after you die, will allow you to send a goodbye message to all your friends on Facebook, turn your Twitter account over to a trusted friend and send emails to inform people of your death.
I figured while we are on the topic o ...
Ghostbusters Is WAY Better With The Inception Soundtrack!
One of my favorite actresses is Sigourney Weaver. Of course it's because of her many cult and legendary movies like Aliens, Ghostbusters and many others. When I first saw that James Cameron had returned from his adventures in the deep searching for new thrills, I was overjoyed with the fact he was ...
Today Is Elvis’s Birthday: Celebrate It With His Weirdest Song Ever!
One could debate for eons about who is the most successful artist ever to walk this earth. Some say Elvis Presley while others say Michael jackson. Some say The Beatles are, but then you have that weird category dilemma where The Beatles were a group and so forth. How do you measure it, really? ...
How To: Dress Like Mark Zuckerberg
Why is it that everyone loves to poke fun at Time's 2010 Person of the Year, Mark Zuckerberg? I know he's taken a lot of heat for the privacy issues on Facebook, but my opinion on that is a little different than a lot of people. I think that if we have something we don't want the whole world to se ...
Star Wars Peep Toe Pumps: Girls Just Got Geekier!
I sometimes wonder why Star Wars has a tendency to bend towards the boyish geekiness instead of the unisex one. Sure, there have been some female Star Wars gear here on Bit Rebels lately, like the R2-D2 and C-3PO swimwear and such, but it tends to be more focused on the male fan base so to speak. ...
Triumph OMNI-BANG: 360 Degree Sound For Your iPhone!
Almost everyone, I am sure, remembers when the iPhone first came out how astounded we were with the rich, thick quality the sound had. It was a joy to watch those movie trailers on YouTube, and you kept wondering how those small badboys of speakers could generate that much of a sound torque. But t ...
Microsoft Surface 2.0: Will It Stun Us THIS Time Around?
I remember a couple of years ago when I first saw the Microsoft Surface technology being demoed in a series of clips. I was amazed by the technology and the features it had, but I couldn't quite see the killer use it would bring to the world. It's one of those things that everyone should think abo ...
