Multitasking And User Interface As Explained In 1982
It's quite funny how we don't reflect on the interface pretty much all of us are using on today's computers anymore. We're more focused on what has to be done during the day rather than marveling over the fact that we can actually do all that by multitasking. User interface and multitasking are word ...
Multitasking: This Is Your Brain On Social Media
Are you good at multitasking? I've been a scatter brain my whole life, so for me, sometimes it's hard to concentrate on one thing, much less a bunch, but I always strive to get better at it. I'm usually the girl who does a face plant on the concrete when trying to tweet on my iPhone while walking do ...
This Is What A Typical Person Looks Like: Are You Typical?
I've often wondered what keeps a company like National Geographic (formerly National Geographic Magazine) going decade after decade. That yellow-framed magazine was popular back when I was a kid, and it is still just as recognizable today. However, today, it is no longer just a magazine. National ...
Going Green: iPhone 4 and iPad Covers Made From Plants
How can something made from 100% plant material look and feel just like plastic? I have no idea, but apparently it's possible.

Now You Can Play Diner Dash On Facebook
When I was a young girl, aside from playing teacher, I would always play diner girl with my sister. We would bring out our tea sets and our little tables and chairs and play waitress and customer all day. We had so many different types of tea sets and cooking play sets and even a little baking ov ...
A Creative, Inspiring Employee Break Room Design

Eco-Friendly Technology: A Disposable Cardboard Flash Drive
I admit, I have way too many flash drives around my house. I'm a shoe fanatic, and just to put it in perspective, I probably have a flash drive to match every pair of shoes I own. I find those little drives all over the place, and of course, I can't ever remember what's stored on them.
When I f ...
Architecture Slide: Another Reason To Stay Young Forever
Around a couple years ago, we started seeing posts and articles on pretty much every blog and website about multinational companies and their offices springing up like wildflowers. We got grand tours in either images or video on Google, Digg, Facebook and even Twitter. It's insanely inspirational ...
The Octopus That Lives In A Beer Bottle
We talk a lot about recycling on Bit Rebels. We only have one planet Earth, and once it's ruined, we can't just make another one. We have to each take responsibility and do our individual parts to help the environment thrive. It's really the only way to make a difference. It really takes the par ...
Angry Birds LEGO Builds: When Addiction Meets Creativity
How is it that every day now there is something new in the world of Angry Birds? This ultimately addicting game is starting to become the new Star Wars when it comes to its many spoofs and creations. What I mean is that I wouldn't be surprised if we soon saw a Beetle car turned into an Angry Bird ...
Recycling: Old Plastic Toys Get A New Life As A Dog
If you have young children, you probably know what it's like to have itty-bitty toys all around your house. Whether it's little plastic numbers, pieces of broken figures or used crayons, that stuff just seems to accumulate everywhere. My son, who is ten years old, has gotten to the age where he is ...
This Invisible Chair Only Appears When You Do
This chair is like a bundle of geeky magic. It makes every chair in my house look completely boring. Not only is it invisible, but it also creates a black hole and it thumps like it has a heartbeat. It's like a fantasy piece of furniture that doesn't take up any space at all, or at least that's t ...
Eco-Friendly Land Art: Created From Dirt, Rocks & Leaves
Since I'm a huge fan of nature and art, I especially like artwork that takes nature as we know it and gives it a twist. For example, these photographs of pixilated gaming characters romping around outside that Richard wrote about last week were really cool!
Today I would like to share with you t ...
