Prison Beauty Contests: Winner Gets Early Release
I had no idea this existed until today, and it's fascinating to me. I know I'm naive when it comes to what prison life is like, but in the past when I've pictured a women's prison in my mind, I never thought of the inmates as being as beautiful and having as much fun as the beauty contest contestant ...
The Burning House: The Things People Would Save
There are events in everyone's life that we would rather not live through, and if we had a remote control a la the movie Click!, I am sure we would use it more than once through the course of our lives. However, some things are of course good for experience, and without them, we would continuously s ...
Current Geosocial Universe: Who’s The Big Dog Now?
For a while now, the term geosocial has been quite a buzzword in the social media world. If you are unfamiliar with geosocial or the phrase geosocial networking, it refers to a type of social media where geographic and geolocation services use geotagging and other social dynamics to connect us to lo ...
Edible City: Shanghai China Recreated In Bakery Sweets
A lot of times people ask me if I have a personal blog. I always just direct them here. Bit Rebels is not a personal blog per se; however, to me it kind of is. The reason I say that is because for both Misty and me, we chronicle our lives here. For example, if I'm hungry, I write about food. If I'm ...
Social Memories: Turn Your Facebook Activity Into A Book
Four years ago, if we asked our friends whether or not they were on Facebook, we got a lot of funny looks. However, not anymore, people communicate so differently now than even just a few years ago. The majority of conversations between friends and family now happen on social networking sites. Times ...
Smallest Town In America: Population One Person
I can't decide if this is sad or kinda neat. As you see in that sign, the town of Monowi, Nebraska has a population of one person. Her name is Elsie Eiler, and she is 77 years old. Most of the town's buildings are crumbling down, and as you can imagine, it's very quiet and desolate.
The last even ...

How Americans Feel About The Osama Mission [Infographic]
I remember exactly where I was the morning of September 11, 2001. I was sitting on the floor of my living room with the television on. I was playing with my son who was not quite two years old at the time. These days, I don't watch TV, but back then; I watched the news in the mornings. I remember wh ...

Ultimate Mashup: Angry Rebels & Imperial Pigs
I never thought I'd see the day when I would be writing about such an odd sounding mashup, but it works, and the artwork is so much fun! It makes sense really. Can't you see the obvious connection between some really angry birds and Luke Skywalker? Yeah, I didn't see the connection either, until I s ...
Pac-Man: The World’s Biggest Pac-Man Game
Everyone knows about this game, and pretty much every honorable geek has once tried to beat the world's highest Pac-Man score, whatever it is. But we've always been limited to the mazes that were available on the screen until we eventually managed to get to the next level. The first "screens" (level ...
Giant Lego Batman Is Too Stiff To Fight Crimes
Who doesn't want to be a superhero? Our lives would be all about kickin' butt whenever necessary in the name of everything good on the planet. Most of us won't even come close to that, but that doesn't mean we can't be inspired by it. When I say "most of us," I of course mean the overall population. ...
Jimi Hendrix Recreated With 5,000 Guitar Picks
Now that's what I call a tribute! What better way to pay homage to one of the greatest guitar players of all time than to recreate him in the form of a colorful mosaic made with 5,000 guitar picks? I never knew the magic of Jimi Hendrix's music since that was a little before my time, but I've read e ...
New World Record: The World’s Tallest Lego Tower
When I read that there was a new world record for the tallest Lego tower, my brain didn't really comprehend how tall it would be. This colorful tower of geeky goodness looks like it touches the sky! It's shaky too, and part of me wonders if it fell down, if a person on the ground would get hurt from ...
Coffee vs. Tea: The Health Benefits Compared
Anyone who has been following me on Twitter for some time knows that I am a heavy drinker of tea. I basically live on the stuff, and I am sometimes certain that when I die, all they will find in my veins is flowing tea. I love the smell, the taste, and the way it refreshes my mind in a lot of differ ...
