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. ...

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 ...
WTF: Man Washes His Shoe With His Tongue
Before you go any further with this article, I need to warn you that if you are easily disturbed by completely disgusting things, you should probably not continue. I mean, really. I originally saw this video a week ago when it first hit YouTube, and since it almost made me throw up, I decided then n ...

The World Is Officially Obsessed With Facebook [Video]
There seems to be no end to the obsession of Facebook, and the many ways it keeps us glued to the screen are increasing. I don't find it odd that we're so into it, just that we don't adopt other services as fast (except Twitter that is). But then again, the people behind Facebook seem to have a deep ...

Twitter Actually Increases Your Overall Grades [Infographic]
There is a common perception in the world that Twitter, Facebook and every other social networking site is bad for us. The main argument is that when we first try it out, we will probably get sucked in, and a lot of our more important tasks during our day suffer from it. The addiction level of socia ...
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 ...
8 Tips For Feeling Awake Without Caffeine
After reading Richard's article about latte art this morning, I started thinking about lattes. What exactly is a latte? I know I've never had a latte. I've always thought it was just a fancy cup of coffee. Now that I've looked into it further, I see that's not entirely true. Although a latte has cof ...
