Science: Preserved Fish Become Colorful Art Pieces
This is creepy cool. If you like your art mixed with a splash of science and imagination, you are going to love this. I'm surprised I haven't seen this art before today because it's fabulous. We've written about biology as it relates to art before. The combination of science and art is always fascin ...
Corporate Giving: Modern Philanthropy Is Big Business
The word "philanthropy" gets thrown around a lot these days. I see more and more people referring to it in their posts, and even in their tweets. Philanthropy is an interesting word because it encompasses so much passion and emotion. Philanthropy is very different from charity; however, I see many p ...
The Star Wars Millennium Falcon Coffee Table
There is no shortage in geek customizations these days, and the more we look, the more we find. So far we've seen everything from Nintendo NES controller coffee tables to large working iPhone blow-up (meaning uber scale) coffee tables. The imagination of home tinkerers is never ending, and I foresee ...
Gooey Sticky Popcorn Cake: The Ultimate Movie Snack
Even though this isn't a food blog, we still have fun writing about food designs. This is especially true when they look like works of art. One thing I have learned is that an artist can be just as creative in the kitchen as in the art studio, and there really is no limit to what can be created with ...
Tetris Inspired Sticky Notes For Your Geeky Office
When I think of the '80s, there aren't many things that make me smile more than when I think about Pac-Man, Space Invaders and Tetris. Those were the video games that defined the '80s for me. Well, those and Frogger, Galaga, Arkanoid... Okay, I admit, I was a video game junkie when I was growing up. ...
The Entrepreneur’s Guide To Taking A Vacation
I've owned my own business for over a decade now. I love being an entrepreneur. I've written about it many times on Bit Rebels. At this point, I don't think I could go back to working for someone else. I mean, I could do it, but my new boss would probably fire me immediately. I like to do things my ...
World’s Most Expensive Diamond Encrusted iPad
I think it's always fun to write about pimped out technology. This time I'm not referring to it being pimped out in features, but rather pimped out in sparkling diamonds. Unless it's a special occasion, I'm not much of a bling bling kind of girl, but to some people, everything has to be luxurious, e ...
Emergency Toilet Design Created For People In Japan
As of today, it's been three months since the devastating earthquake and tsunami hit Japan. We don't see as many bloggers writing about it anymore, and the articles being spread around in social media are becoming few and far between. However, that doesn't mean everything is okay in Japan now.

VODER: World’s First Synthetic Speech Synthesizer [Retro]
Ever since the first personal computer was introduced, researchers have been trying to create a lifelike speech synthesizer that can comfortably and correctly convert text on the screen into perfect speech.

The Way Portugal Apparently Sees Europe
It's always funny to see how the rest of the world views your home country. Having lived in another country, I think it's even more interesting to check out how different people's views are. They always seem to differ. I have been asked if we have polar bears on the streets here in Sweden, and also ...
Office Wars: The Nerf Gun Fight You Don’t Want To Join
It's been quite a while since we've written anything about the awesomeness of Nerf guns. The last one I think was an article written by @AndySowards which totally got our readers off their butts to check out what the heck this whole religion is all about. There is actually a whole league going on wi ...
How To: Determine If You Need A Professional Designer
Last weekend when I was on the flight back from Shanghai to Atlanta there was a man sitting across the aisle who started talking to me. He asked me about myself, and whenever anyone does that, I always get excited because it's an excuse to talk about Twitter and social media. Since Twitter and Faceb ...
High Speed Photographs Taken At The Moment Of Impact
High speed photography and video seem to be hot right now. Every day I see new collections of photographs making the rounds on Twitter.

Cinemart: Blending Art And Cinema
The blending of two different worlds can create some really cool and unique combinations for sure. I don't think I even have to go into the the description once again since I have written about it plenty of times before. If you are a new visitor to Bit Rebels, you might want a speed recap of what I ...
Next Generation Super Mario Packaging Store Displays
Recently I have been mesmerized by the intricate designs of store displays. They go to extravagant lengths to make us buy their stuff, and it usually works. Unfortunately we don't have many here where I am located, but I get my fix by checking out the displays that are available on the Internet. And ...
