Back to the Future: The New Gaming Series!
I've always been interested in time travel, I've written about it before on Bit Rebels. When I was a little kid, I turned my closet into a time machine. I would go inside, sit in a chair, close the door, and pretend that when I opened the door and came out, I would be in the future.
When I was ...

Rubik’s Cube Goes Digital To Celebrate 30th Birthday!

The Kick Ass Girls of Rock Skateboard Collection
We've written a lot of articles on Bit Rebels about skateboards, but I've never seen any skateboards as fantastic as these before.
Usually the skateboards we see are nice enough. I mean, they are designed well and look cool. However, this collection is on a whole different level!
These decks ...
New Consolor Console: Beautiful Portable Gaming!
It seems like just yesterday a company released the "next" portable gaming console on the market. Regardless, we still only see the Nintendo & PSP ones as making the charts with their new games. It seems to be harder to please the portable gamers than the ones sitting in front of a TV or a screen ...
A Retro Arcade Cabinet With An iPhone Dock!
Now this is something that I would put in my office. I would use it every day for sure, and it probably would be a huge work distraction. The geek factor of this thing is off the chart, and I am sure that it would steal everyone's attention when they enter my office. I haven't had the opportunity ...

Meet Gary – The Cutest 8-Bit Costume You’ve Ever Seen

Do you have a sweet tooth? Do you envy your friends who are great in the kitchen? I have an office mate who bakes the best cupcakes on earth. She always brings so much joy to us when she comes to work with a batch of freshly baked goodies in hand. The cupcakes are amazing. They are soft, moist ...
WOW – World of Warcraft Papercraft Art
I have a confession to make. Although I've been a big gamer in the past, I've never played World of Warcraft. I know, it's only like the most popular MMORPG game. From what I hear, almost everyone that plays that game gets completely sucked in, never to be heard or seen from again.
However, ...

The New Inflight Entertainment – The iPad!
We've all been there. We're sitting on a plane, bored silly, can't fall asleep and then we finally, as a last resort, decide to watch the inflight movie we've seen a million times. It's the exact reason why I don't like long flights. The whole experience is rather miserable. However, that all mi ...
