Technology progresses at an ever increasing speed, and the stuff that we use today is not exactly the stuff that we used to play around with as kids, right?

The memories that the '80s have left some of us with are everlasting it seems. For pretty much everyone, the 8-bit graphics are going to keep retrofying our ordinary days and making them a little bit better.

Screw The McFly Sneakers: These LED Ones Are Much Cooler
The new Nike Air Mags have gotten quite a lot of media coverage and for good reason. When I saw that Nike was actually going to release those badboys, I was overly excited but heartbroken at the same time. I mean, the first pair went for what... $37,500! They are certainly going to become collector ...

Geeky Memories: Video Game Arcades In The ’80s [10 Pics]
We often talk about retro '80s video games on Bit Rebels. All of us here grew up during that time, and we'll never forget all those lazy Saturday afternoons when our only care in the world was where our next quarter was coming from so we could play again. Those were the days of tube socks, short sho ...
Food Inspiration: Adorable Little Pac-Man Dumplings
I've been getting into food designs lately. It all started a few months ago when I wrote this article called Geektastic Collection Of Star Wars Inspired Party Foods. I was so amazed by all the creative Star Wars inspired snack foods out there that I've been specifically watching for other creative a ...
An Air Guitar Performance Like You’ve Never Seen Before
My friends and I used to play our air guitars all the time in the 80s. Back then, there was nothing quite like the exhilarating feeling that came from playing an air guitar to Guns N' Roses or Def Leppard. Then when were were old enough to drive, it was all about playing the keyboard on the steering ...

Taco Bell Back In 1982 [10 Pics]
When was the last time you went to Taco Hell... err... I mean Taco Bell? To me, Taco Bell is college food, kinda like Ramen noodles. If you've got 5 bucks in your pocket, you can get a complete meal at Taco Bell and even have some leftover.
I remember earlier this year when it was discovered that ...
World’s First Chocolate Record That Plays Music
When I was a little girl, not only did I have to walk through snow to get to the bus stop every day, but I also had to listen to music on what was called a record. See kids, we had it rough back then. We would put the record on a record player and joyfully dance to the scratchy low quality sound. Of ...
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. ...
Recycled Floppy Disk Art: Retro Technology Gets A New Life
Of all the creative artwork I've written about on Bit Rebels over the past two years, this is definitely one of my favorites. It combines technology, painting, recycling and a human touch, all flavored with that retro feeling we love so much. I remember when I first saw the works of Nick Gentry. It ...
World’s Largest Working NES Controller
At first, I titled this article "World's Largest NES Controller." I had to go back and add the word "Working" because unlike many of the huge goofy NES controllers we've seen in the past, this one is actually functional! It's so big that the only way to control it is to stand on the buttons. Now the ...

DIY Geektastic Pac-Man Calendar (Chomp Chomp)
This little homage to everyone's favorite classic 80s video game is so precious I just want to make my own this weekend. If you weren't around in the 80s saving your quarters to play Pac-Man at the pizza joint on Friday nights like the rest of us, you could make one of these for Mario Bros. or reall ...
Lego Inspired Fashions: Would You Wear Them?
It's no secret that we love Lego on Bit Rebels. However, the question is, do we love Lego enough to wear Lego inspired fashions?
In Richard's earlier article today about that crazy x-ray dress, he said, "...it seems like fashion designers want us to look odd so when aliens finally arrive on our ...
LED Shoe Laces: Bring The Light To The Club!
If I remember correctly, I am sure I have seen this before, like 15-20 years ago during the '80s. Back then it was more of a color and not LEDs. It was some kind of fluorescent color that if put in bright light, soaked it up and then later shined for a number of minutes. They were more like neon ...
