Get Your Own 3D Printer For The Same Price As An iPad!
Working with 3D software is really a joy when you get the results you're after.

If you are a geek, and if you have any sense of interior design at all, then you spend some time making sure that your surroundings match your personality. It's a lot of fun creating an inspiring geeky environment to live and work in, but it can also be draining since sometimes it's hard to find ju ...
Here’s An Easy Way To Design Your Own Watch!
I like customization. I guess everyone who wants to be unique does too. Have you ever gone to a place and seen someone wearing the same outfit that you are wearing? I have, and it was a pretty funny experience. People were staring at us. I really did not mind it at all considering that it was m ...
Drive-By Stencil Technology Makes Graffiti Art Fun & Fast
I think it's cute that the Looptaggr creators, Ariel Schlesinger and Aram Bartholl, are calling this "stencil technology" when it's really a DIY homemade "fast as hell" graffiti tagger. I haven't written an article about graffiti in a very long time because it's one of those activities that's kinda ...
How To: Make A Captain America Shield From A Satellite Dish
You know by now that we are all about recycling at Bit Rebels.

It's become almost an unspoken contest ...
Ho Ho Ho: The Ultimately Geeky Holiday Wreath!
I always have a wreath on my front door this time of year. I'm lucky because I never really had to learn how to make them. My mother loves to make fabulous wreaths, and she is kind enough to give me several of them throughout the year. It's always a challenge for her because she knows I don't lik ...

Wouldn't it be cool to leave a time capsule in your house when you move? Someday someone would find it and get a glimpse into that moment in time when you left it for them.

How To: Collect Your Farts to Fuel a Cannon
Manley has a dream, a big dream. Now that he's learned how to collect his own farts and store them, he hopes to use them to fuel a homemade cannon. After all, farts are combustible gas.
Let's back up a moment. First of all, I realize that writing about farts is not very lady-like; however, far ...
How To: Build A Jet Pack From Garbage
Haven't you always wanted to know how to build one of these? I have. Well, maybe not exactly; however, jet packs or rocket packs are geeky and cool, and always will be.
It's fun to think about what it would be like to put on a jet pack, hit the buttons on the handles and fly up in the sky, Buzz ...
How To: Grow A Rainbow Colored Rose
I have never seen one of these rainbow colored roses in person; however, I've always thought they were fake, which is not appealing to me.
However, today I discovered that a rainbow rose can actually be grown. Now... that, on the other hand, is very cool! The process, discovered by Peter Van de ...
Creative Pop Tarts On A Stick: Yummm!
I've been saying for months that I want to write an article about all the different foods on sticks. These days it seems like almost everything comes on a stick, doesn't it? I even had a friend tell me today that she ordered waffles on a stick at a restaurant.
When I saw this food, which is one ...
Total Plug Safety: Keeps Geeks and Children Safe
This little invention makes me giggle because I think it's perfect for geeks and the children of geeks.

Who Says You Can’t Play Guitar With A… Shovel!
There are many instruments that have been subject to re-thinking and re-design. Some have turned out to be pure flops, while others have lingered on in our minds as cool. However, usually we don't see many odd instruments making it up on the stage, at least not with the popular artists around the ...
The iPhone 4 Coffee Table: For The Stylish Geek
I know firsthand that sometimes being a geek can be difficult. For example, at times it's hard to find inspiring furniture to make our homes geektastically fabulous.

Not Sure About A Tattoo? Try A Temporary Henna Tattoo!
We've written so many articles about tattoos on Bit Rebels. For over a year, I've been saying in my articles that I'm going to get a tattoo, but as of yet, I haven't taken the plunge. There is just something so permanent about it all. I'm not sure I'm ready for that kind of commitment on my skin ...
