The Pick-Apart Hard Drive Is A Partitioner’s Dream!
Right now I am sitting here with 3 stacked up Porsche external hard drives and not a single GB left to store on them. They are all filled with graphics, ideas and what have you.

The Portable Hard Drive Inspired By An Italian Racecar

The Ultimate Time Capsule: Geeks from the 1960s
I am totally a product of the 70s and mostly the 80s; however, I have often told friends of mine that I wish I had grown up the 60s.

Used Computer Parts Become Realistic Vehicles
Being a computer geek, I have tons of used hard drives, mice and other items all connected to a computer.

Zelda NES Cartridge: Turned Into A 1TB External Hard Drive!
Zelda is one of those games that I remember the most from the Nintendo NES console game station. That golden cartridge was the coolest one in my collection, and I treated it like it was pure gold.

Pink Juicy Couture Keyboard: Girl Geek Fashion
In the past, when I've written an article like this, I've gotten tweets and comments from other girl geeks accusing me of being offensive and way too girly. Well, you know what?

Introducing… Hello Kitty Nerd Mimobot Flash Drives!
It's interesting what can happen in a year. A year ago, I didn't mind Hello Kitty too much. She was cute, cuddly and all over the mall, everywhere I looked. Then, several months ago, Hello Kitty started to overtake my life, showing up in my Google searches and invading my Internet everyday.
I ...
Tampon Flash Drive – Keeps Your Dataflow From Leaking
If I was writing for any other blog, I would probably not choose a topic like a tampon flash drive, but this is Bit Rebels, and anything goes. I got the biggest giggle out of this. I don't know who the hell would buy it, but it's cracking me up (ok, I might use this just for fun, I admit it.)
