Zero Gravity Office: A Huge Magnet & Some Balls
As we have written about before, many offices tend to be tweaked towards geek activities nowadays, and that's all fine. Here at Bit Rebels we look forward to the day when we have our very own office where all of us will be able to kick the geek afternoons off with a Nerf gun battle or a Nintendo NES ...
Why Humanity Is All About Infographics
Some people have asked us why we are so keen on publishing infographics here on Bit Rebels, and the answer is really simple. It's because we believe that they have a huge knowledge value requiring the reader very little energy to acquire that knowledge. We want to educate our readers through short, ...
Dances iPhone App: Modern Dance Meets Digital World
For the first time ever, a free app which exclusively highlights dance is now available for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users in the App Store. It's called "Dances for an iPhone," and although I'm not much of a dancer, after checking it out in more detail, I found it to be very well put together ...
Paper Heroes: When Simplicity Rules
I have come to love the way people reformat the methods of creating cool art. For a long time, it has all been about making something advanced, extravagant and time consuming, which will make people go numb just thinking about the work that must have gone into it. However, there is an edge here that ...

Gamers: The Industry Definition [Infographic]
There is a slight misconception that gamers are all kids and teenagers, and that they are the ones who fuel the gaming industry with their cash (or their parent's cash that is). Even though that is of course not entirely false, it's important to know that there are a lot of "grown-ups" that buy game ...
Retro 8-Bit Super Mario Ghostbusters Mashup
Some of you may have seen my post about the Depixelization Software that I wrote about the other day. It's basically an algorithm that transforms pixelated retro game art into smooth and up-to-date graphics. I have a sneaky suspicion that it compiles it into vectors which in turn makes the art not o ...
For Music Lovers: The Handmade Guitar String Bracelet
This is creativity at its best. Who would ever think to hand roll vintage sheet music and carefully coil steel guitar strings to create a beautiful bracelet? Tanith Rohe, a jewelry maker from the San Fransico Bay area, did. She is a self-proclaimed urban archaeologist and thrift store shopper.

World Record In Stiletto Racing (Yeah, It’s Possible)
I love high heels. I've been wearing them for years. I started out wearing them because I'm short, and every cosmo girl knows that nothing can make you feel more large and in charge than a hot pair of stilettos. However, I'm not going to lie, it takes practice to get used to wearing them. You have t ...
Sink Your Ship With The Battleship Drinking Game
Hmm... I can't decide if this looks like fun or if it would be a puking disaster. Brazilian design student, Mauricio (Tony) Harion, created this new version of the classic Battleship game. It's for adults only, and it's called Enigma - Battleship Drinking Game.
According to Coroflot, "It's played ...
Potato Portraits: The Real Life Potato Heads
A potato is a versatile little veggie, isn't it? Not only can we cook it about a million different ways, it can also be used as an artist's canvas. Next time you are sitting home bored on a Saturday night, just grab a potato from the kitchen, and you'll be guaranteed hours of fun. Ok, maybe not, but ...
This Smooth Criminal Cover Will Mess With Your Head
Growing up I listened to my share of Michael Jackson (bless his soul) songs and became mesmerized by the lyrics just like everyone else. His songs have evolved into different meanings for pretty much everyone that has listened to them from the time they were kids all they way up until they are adult ...
8-Bit Characters Depixelized: Awesome Futurfication Software
I sometimes get really bummed out that the 8-bit era has ended, and the original artwork created in the '80s is forever over. Sure, we can create pixalated art pieces today, but that doesn't really make it the same, does it? No, it's the memories connected to the artwork that make it retro and cool. ...

Alright, so here you are thinking, "What could there possibly be more that I could learn about Twitter?" Well, there is quite a lot actually! Twitter's history is full of milestones and valleys that would make a huge difference to your online life if it never would have become reality. There are of ...
Wall Graphic: Twitter Fail Whale Never Looked So Good
If you are active in social media, I am sure that you have at some point seen the now famous Twitter fail whale. For those new to Twitter, the fail whale is the signal we get when the site is down, which usually happens due to overcapacity or maintenance. For many Twitterholics, seeing the fail whal ...
Yarn Bombing: A Global Graffiti Phenomenon
I've got another trend alert for you today, and this time, it's a form of beautifully artistic vandalism, art or graffiti (whichever description you prefer) called yarn bombing. I remember reading an article about this a few years ago, but it's definitely becoming more popular now. Yarn bombing can ...
