Evolution Of Nintendo Characters
Ahh... Here I am, in the land of Nintendo. It's a little strange since we usually leave it up to Richard to cover all the Nintendo goodness on Bit Rebels since he is so good at it, but I couldn't resist today. Last night I was feeling particularly retro, and I downloaded the original Donkey Kong on ...

The Real Cost Of Dating [Infographic]
So there you are, you're just about to go on that first date. As a guy, you always want to make a good impression and be the expected gentleman you know you have to be in order to gain the respect of your date. There are some misconceptions when it comes to dating that both guys and girls are quite ...
iPad & Kindle Book Cases: The Hobbit, Sherlock Holmes…
You know, now that the iPad and the Kindle (and all the rest of the tablets) are furiously entering the market with eBooks, there is a huge decline in the number of people who actually go to the library anymore. This in itself is causing a real problem that I don't think we all know or think about. ...
Top Grossing Superhero Movies (Some May Surprise You)
Movies about superheroes have always been popular, but lately, it seems like they are becoming a part of our culture. We expect them to come out regularly and to be good. When they suck (cough cough The Green Hornet), we are truly disappointed. Our expectations get higher and higher from one superhe ...
Shopping By Color: The Designer Way To Buy Groceries
Whenever it is time to go grocery shopping over here I usually make the legendary list. Yup, it's all about optimizing, and the more detailed the list is, the faster the whole trip will be. I sometimes even try to list the items the way they are positioned in the store I am going to. That way, I can ...
Social Media Art: All Your Facebook Friends Sketched
There are so many things about this that are so cool; I don't even know where to start! I remember a few years ago when we started seeing people create Twitter backgrounds made up of a collage of avatars from all their followers. I thought that was such a sweet way for someone to give his or her fol ...
User Experience Design: Notes From An Inspired Designer
Talented designers have always inspired me. They just seem to be able to present information and ideas in ways that would never occur to me. This designer that I'm sharing with you today is a perfect example of that.
I carry around two spiral Bit Rebels notebooks with me everywhere. One is filled ...
10 Fierce Steampunk Inspired Flash Drives
We write about steampunk a lot on Bit Rebels. There is just something about mixing new technologies with Victorian sci-fi antique-looking designs that takes us into an impossible world full of possibilities. Just like every other style of design, sometimes artists get a little funky with their steam ...
Stunning Slow Motion Video: Gelatin Cubes Jiggle Your Brain
I've written before about how much I don't like Jello. Well, it's not that I don't like it; it's more that I'm afraid of it. It's like an abomination of food. It goes up there in the same category as tofu, Spam and white chocolate. I think aliens might have put those things in our supermarkets even ...
Drawn Game Posters: Always Better Than Computer Generated
Usually when I create a new design, I like to switch up my tools every once in a while and not get stuck in Photoshop all the time. Illustrator is definitely a favorite as well, but I find myself working in Lightwave 3D more and more. It's a great way to create something new and edgy that can take a ...
Create An Origami Crane With Your Tongue
The talent the girl in this video has with her tongue definitely gets the WTF award of the day. One reason surfing the Internet is so much fun for me is because it's the land of the one-uppers. Everyone is all about one-upping everyone else. It seems the goal is to be the fastest, strongest, crazies ...
Super Mario With A Portal Gun Is Way More Fun
Once again, I find myself walking the halls of the vibrant memories of Super Mario Bros. It's like it has become a close friend of mine that I can always return to in order to feel that awesome retro feeling that sometimes pokes at my attention. The gameplay, as we have analyzed before, is simple ye ...
World’s Most Secure House: A Zombie Bunker
Every once in a while I stumble over some crazy article in the newspaper that reports about someone rich building a doomsday shelter or bunker to keep safe from whatever might strike earth in the near future. Those articles have always been quite mesmerizing to me because it sounds like a huge endea ...
Creativity Takes Courage: 5 Ways To Build Your Courage
"Creativity takes courage" is one of my favorite quotes. It's an oldie but a goodie from Henri Matisse. It's so true. Creativity really does take a lot of courage. When creative people express their emotions through their artwork, writing or music, and they present it to the world to see on the Inte ...
North American Dialect Chart: Ya’ll Talk Funny
Lately, for whatever reason, I've been talking to more and more of my Twitter friends on the phone. One of the first things people usually notice when they talk to me is that I have a very southern accent (gimme a break... geez, after all, I do live in Atlanta). For some reason, that surprises a lot ...
