Used Computer Parts Become Realistic Vehicles
Being a computer geek, I have tons of used hard drives, mice and other items all connected to a computer. Due to the fact the upgrades are always incorporated, the old gear gets the boot and ends up in a box down in the basement. Why I put it there, I have no idea. Maybe it's because I am hoping ...
Christmas By The Book: A Tree Created Entirely Out Of Books
Christmas has always come in ever changing packaging, even though the message stays the same. Lately, the colors of Christmas have changed slightly and more and more vibrant colors have entered the holidays. We're no longer bound to red, green and white. It's all about the celebration and giving, ...
Photography: X-Ray Technology Turned Into Art
X-ray photography is so cool, isn't it? The society we live in is very image oriented, but looking at an x-ray takes us behind that image. It takes us to a place we normally don't critique or even see. When a photographer makes an effort to create artistic photographs from something as personal a ...
A Fascinating Stop Motion That Tracks Human Growth
In case you are unfamiliar with what stop motion is, it's an animation technique where you take individual photographs and put them together to make a video where it looks like they are moving when they are played in sequence. You've probably seen clay figures in stop motion videos before since the ...
Sesame Street: You’ve Never Seen Bert & Ernie Like This!
Sesame Street was such a huge part of my life when I was in elementary school. It's hard to believe that show started in 1969, and it's still broadcasting today. In 2009, on the show's 40th anniversary, it was the number 15th highest rated children's show in the States.
According to Wikipedia, ...
Ho Ho Ho: The Ultimately Geeky Holiday Wreath!
I always have a wreath on my front door this time of year. I'm lucky because I never really had to learn how to make them. My mother loves to make fabulous wreaths, and she is kind enough to give me several of them throughout the year. It's always a challenge for her because she knows I don't lik ...
Love Your Street: Recycled Paper Puts Love On A Wall
Far too many times, no matter where I go, I see streets so lifeless and out of sync with today's highly spiritual and technological climate. It's like they are doomed to rust away while we spend time walking the virtual streets of Second Life, World of Warcraft or even some new Facebook game. The ...
Jump-Start CARD: Borrow Power From Another Cell Phone Or Device
Being out in the field and constantly working on your cell phone, or any other mobile device, certainly has its positive and negative sides. You get the mobility and the freedom to work wherever you feel like (if you're not bound and have to go around to the offices of clients that is). On the dow ...
Design Inspiration: The Lego Headquarters In Russia
As you probably know, Richard, Misty and I all live in different countries. Even though we work well together through emails, Skype and direct messages on Twitter, we've often talked about what it would be like to have a Bit Rebels office in a location where we could all work in the same space.

Eating Disorders: The Painful Truth Drawn In Colored Pencils
This artist's work struck a chord with me because I'm personally very close to someone that is struggling with an eating disorder. It's not as uncommon as you might think. However, you might not think you know of anyone with an eating disorder because many times those who have experienced it have ...
How To: Leave A Time Capsule For Future Generations
Wouldn't it be cool to leave a time capsule in your house when you move? Someday someone would find it and get a glimpse into that moment in time when you left it for them.

The Increasing Importance Of Optimizing Your Blog’s Images
Bandwidth consumption is a common problem for large websites attracting a large number of visitors. Whenever you experience a site that used to be fast, and now it's slow, it's most probably due to the bandwidth being used to its limits. Whenever you get an error that says the browser can't fetch ...
Teva High Heels: Climb That Mountain In Style!
Well hallelujah! What took so long for someone to design this? You are familiar with Teva shoes, right? Where I live, we refer to them simply as "Tevas" and most outdoorsy people have them. I wear mine whenever I'm outside camping, hiking, walking through a river or creek, gardening, etc... They ...
Geek Design: Space Invader Papercraft Business Card
Is there anything that can't be created with a piece of paper? I'm starting to think not. We've written about so much incredible papercraft on Bit Rebels that it now has its own category at the top of this blog. I used to just look at a piece of paper as just that, a piece of paper. But now, all ...
