Kampong Cuckoo Clock: The Wackiest Clock In The World
I really can't say that we've had the annoyance of a cuckoo clock in our family history. I guess we've never been fond of the fact that it would be a good thing to be scared half to death every hour.

The Hanko Watch: Tells Time with LED Technology!

Equinox Clock: The Brightest Time Teller For Any Geek!
Time is one of the most important resources in anyone's life. Depending on the situation, it can be good or bad, and it can either be too much or too little. Time really has it all when you think about it. It defines everything and nothing. Everything we do depends on it, and we tend to measure ...

Will 3D User Interfaces Soon Take Over Our Mobile Devices?
To make it a three part article series (as I have written about three unique developments in the mobile user interface business), I have found something that most people will probably either drool over or just dismiss as too much for a mobile device. The truth is, as the processor gets ever more pow ...

This Watch Reminds You To Appreciate The Sky!

How To: Get Out Of Bed When Your Alarm Goes Off
What is it about clocks? I just realized today that we've written a lot of articles on Bit Rebels about clocks. Is it because our entire lives are mandated by what time it is?
That is one of the reasons I don't wear a watch. It is my subtle way of giving time the finger so I can be free to do ...
Clocks Created From Vinyl Records – Retro Meets Recycling
Vinyl records are just a tad before my time. I had a few of them when I was very young, but for most of my childhood, it was the cassette era. I have a lot of friends; however, that collect old records. Apparently they can be very sentimental and bring back wonderful memories.
My favorite part ...
