Delicious New Trend: Websites Created Out Of Chocolate
I have a trend alert for you, and it tastes delicious! Have you ever seen a chocolate website? I'm not referring to a website that sells chocolates or that is designed to look like chocolate.

The Evolution Of Graphic Design [Infographic]

Left-Handed People Have More Fun [Infographic]
It's always a treat to see someone write or draw with their left hand. Not that it's a freak show or anything, but it's impressive to see and watch since my own left-hand writing is... well, let's just say that it's less than impressive. When you think about it, there are quite a lot of people out t ...
Recycled Floppy Disk Art: Retro Technology Gets A New Life
Of all the creative artwork I've written about on Bit Rebels over the past two years, this is definitely one of my favorites. It combines technology, painting, recycling and a human touch, all flavored with that retro feeling we love so much. I remember when I first saw the works of Nick Gentry. It ...
Beautification: The Star Wars Millennium Falcon XBox Mod
I think it's obvious to anyone reading Bit Rebels that we really like geeky cool stuff, especially gadgets that have been customized or modded.

Study Reveals Technology Makes Us Stressed Out
I remember several months ago when I wrote an article about a study that showed Americans go crazy when their Internet is slow. At the time I wrote that, I wondered if that was a good representation for people around the world, or if it was just another example of how us Americans can be impatient a ...
The Periodic Table Of Swearing
I'll admit that I have a potty mouth every now and then. There are certain situations in life when we just have to let the expletives fly, don't you agree? For example, I've been known to drop a periodic F-bomb when Twitter is down, when getting dental work done, or when my computer crashes and I lo ...
The PC Mod That Is Sexier Than A Mac
We all know that two of Apple's most famous catch phrases are "sexy" and "insanely great," which they pretty much attach to all their products. In some ways those words are true as well, and with all the sales they are raking in, it's hard to say the contrary.
However, there are of course modders ...

How To: Make A Mathematically Correct Bagel
Do you know of people who think in terms of math equations all the time? I used to be that way. I've mentioned before that I dropped out of art class in high school so I could take an advanced calculus class instead.

Unbelievable ASCII Art Created With A Typewriter
I think everyone at some point has come across the awesomeness of ASCII art. It first appeared on the early Commodore 64, if not even earlier.
