The Wearable Plant: Is It Fashion or Foliage?
The reason I write about plants on Bit Rebels is because it's as close as I can get to actually having them. I stopped buying plants a few years ago because I always accidentally kill them. And then, after they are dead, I go through the whole emotional spectrum like when I was six and I killed my ...
Angry Birds LEGO Builds: When Addiction Meets Creativity
How is it that every day now there is something new in the world of Angry Birds? This ultimately addicting game is starting to become the new Star Wars when it comes to its many spoofs and creations. What I mean is that I wouldn't be surprised if we soon saw a Beetle car turned into an Angry Bird ...
Creative Inspiration: The Toy Army Men With A Message
I've played with toy army men for as long as I can remember. The army men they sell these days are a lot different from when I was young. Now you can get fancy army men that snap together into a team, kind of like Lego blocks. But, my favorite ones will always be the old-fashioned, 2-inch tall gr ...

The United States of Awesome and Shame [Infographic]
If you live in the United States like I do, you know that some states do things more or less than other states. For example, I live in the south, which is the Bible Belt of the country. It's no surprise that down here there are the most churches and the highest rate of church attendance compared t ...
The Titanic Movie Explained In Less Than 2 Minutes
The movie Titanic is the ultimate chick-flick. I know this because every time I watch it, I boo-hoo like a big baby. And, I'm talkin the big kind of cry, the kind that gives you a headache for two days. You'd think I was going down with the ship.
I've never met a guy that would willingly watch ...
World’s Most Kick Ass Insert Coin Animation With Real Coins
I remember playing the arcade games, especially the pinball machines, in the arcade halls when I was younger. Unfortunately, most of them were closed and shut down long ago. The magic of entering a hall full of 8-bit music and people cheering for each other is what I miss the most, and I have no i ...
Star Wars Typography: Darth Vader Created With His Quotes
They say all good things come in threes, and since we've featured two articles so far with Star Wars inspired typography, I thought I'd top it off today with a third. Although Richard's articles about the Boba Fett Typography and the Star Wars Ad Campaign Typography were awesome in their own right, ...
This Family Unplugged For 6 Months & Lived To Tell About it
Hmm... unplugging for six months? Are you kidding me? I can't even imagine unplugging for one week. I'm so connected to my online world that I sleep with my phone. I'm not the only one though, as it turns out, it's a habit that a lot of people have. Technology and our gadgets are no longer part of o ...
How Important Is Your Twitter Username?
I remember back in the 6th grade, Calvin Klein jeans were very popular. All the girls in "the club" wore them, and I begged my mother to take me shopping for a pair so I could be cool. Now that I'm an adult, I'm noticing that there are still things in life that can make us cool, but it's no longer a ...
Alertron: The Bluetooth Babysitter For Your Phone
It's interesting to me that as the number of gadgets we get grows, so do the number of products that help us keep up with them. We depend on our technology for almost everything these days, and it's only natural that we would lose our gadgets from time to time. Last week I wrote about a remote con ...
Design: City Maps Hand-Woven From Typography
Lately, I've seen a lot of people go back and forth online debating about what typography actually is. I guess since I'm not a designer, I am excused from not knowing how the traditionalists view it. To me, typography is text in different colors, fonts, shapes and sizes put together to create some ...
Help the Homeless & the Environment with Plastic Bags
We are very passionate about helping homeless men, women and children. It's hard to imagine what being homeless would be like unless we are put in that situation. Only because I spend so much time assisting people in that predicament, I have learned not to take the simple things in life for grante ...
8-Bit Photography: Game Characters Escape Once Again
Not too long ago, I wrote about the wonderful and creative image mashups of 8-bit game characters that had escaped to reality. I also wrote about the awkward job interviews with some of the most legendary game characters that we all may ever know. As expected, the interviews didn't work out that w ...
The Twitter Thesaurus: Gives You Shorter Synonyms
If you are a Twitter addict, or someone who wants to appear less intelligent than you really are, you may like this site. It is a "word-shortening thesaurus." Oh wait; using shorter words makes you look smarter, right? I don't know, all I know is that you'll fit more words into your tweets, and t ...
The Most Important Twitter Rule of 2011
Except for the eight days when I had a serious case of Social Media Burnout, I've been on Twitter every day since March of 2009. There are some very interesting observations I've made recently. If you have been on Twitter a long time too, I know you will relate to what I'm going to describe.
