Full Size Lego Bike: Geeks Ride In Style
Do you guys remember when I wrote "Can't Afford A Car? Build A Lego One..." back when Bit Rebels was kind of new? There were a lot of people actually commenting on the article about its authenticity. Some curiously said it was photoshopped (I believe they said that just to stir up a debate), while s ...
Angry Birds: This Time As Real Life Game Play
Some consider Angry Birds to be one of the most addicting games of all time, and I am ready to agree. However, for me it's not just that I like playing it, but that I actually have to make sure I clear each level with a three star rating. And believe me, it's easier said than done! You have to find ...
Most Creative Way To Recycle Your Ink Cartridges
If you didn't read the title of this article first, and if you just looked at the pictures below, what would you think those science fiction sculptures were made of? Would you ever guess those were old ink cartridges?
I really, really don't like buying printer ink. Not only is it messy and expens ...
Combating Global Warming: Simple Action Steps
I read something the other day that said most people don't understand what global warming is. The phrase itself, "global warming," has been used so much in so many different contexts over the past few decades that a lot of the meaning in those words has lost its punch.
In the spirit of bringing a ...
Environment: Mushrooms Break Down Disposable Diapers
When I was researching this topic today, I couldn't help but think of a recent article Richard wrote called Gross Foods That You Want To Eat Anyway. It was about how, according to a TED speech, we will have to change our food supply in the future so that we will still be able to sustain ourselves an ...

How Green Is The iPhone… [Infographic]
When everyone is talking about the environment, and how we can save ourselves from ending our luxurious living on a planet made out of dust, it's not hard to apply that thinking to pretty much any area of our lives. Even making a simple paper roll is causing further destruction of the ozone layer, s ...
Get Your Geek On: The Circuit Board Coffee Table
This coffee table is completely geektastic on so many levels. We've seen circuit board coffee tables before, like this one Richard wrote about called the Motherboard Coffee Table; however, we've never seen one quite like this.
This table gets the ultimate geek award because the computer parts are ...
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 ...
Exploding Spray Can Portrayed In Paused LEGO Build
The many different forms, shapes and builds when it comes to LEGO really push the builders to think differently every time they set out on a journey to create something that has never before been built. After all, you don't want to copy someone else's epic viral block buster (in the real sense of t ...
Old Tupperware Bowls Become New Retro Kitchen Lamps
Do you remember back in the old days when people used to make Jello molds? My mother used to make those when we were young. She would put canned fruit inside them and whipped cream on top. Another thing my mother used to do is go to Tupperware parties. Does anyone still do that these days? I ha ...
National Geographic: The World’s Population & Our Planet
Did you know that in 2011, the world's population will reach 7 billion people? Did you also know that if we all stood shoulder to shoulder, all 7 billion people could fit in Los Angeles? Did you know that in every second five people are born and two people die? This fantastic 3-minute video by Na ...
How To: Creatively Wrap Your Gifts The Recycled Way!
As you all know, we here at Bit Rebels are fascinated with the word "recycle" for some reason. Not only is it a cool way to help the environment find its way back to what it used to be, but it's also a cheap and creative way to turn what's old into something new. So, if you're attached to an old gad ...
Recycling: The Merry-Go-Round Made Out Of Bicycles!
This article is near and dear to me because I love merry-go-rounds, I love my bicycle and more than both of those, I love recycling. This artistic creation combines all three of those.
Robert Wechsler, an artist living in Los Angeles, is known for his unusual yet simple installations. I remembe ...
Gorgeous Vacuum Cleaners Created From Ocean Trash
It's no secret that our oceans are polluted with trash. Plastic is the most common material found on our beaches. Misty did two massive beach clean-ups this year, and she confirmed that plastic was what they picked up the most. She even wrote an article about how we can turn discarded plastic int ...
Beautify The World: Rooftop Gardens On City Buses
It's such a wonderful feeling to know that we can do something to make the world a better place. As Richard and I have talked about before, many people think the only way to do that is to do something big, profound and time consuming. However, that's not the case. Sometimes the simplest little th ...
