Don’t Be A Dork: Proper High Five Etiquette
On Friday, my Twitter friend @JessicaNorthey started a new series on her blog called Finger Candy High 5 Friday. According to her, "It's a day and place to showcase people online who are doing great stuff in their respective communities and industries." I'm all about promoting our social media colle ...
How To: Get Rid Of iPhone Pocket Syndrome
A few decades ago, many people had "Pack-Of-Cigarettes Pocket Syndrome." Remember that? These days, it's "iPhone Pocket Syndrome." I walk around with my iPhone in the back pocket of my jeans all the time. I also chomp gum with my mouth open and hardly ever wear shoes. Okay, maybe not, but since I li ...
How To: Draw Creative Caricatures
Caricatures are such a fun style of drawing and illustrating. We've written about talented caricature artists many times on Bit Rebels. Just last week, I wrote about the very well done caricature art of Denis Zilber. When I look at caricatures, I have a lot of questions. How does the artist know whi ...
Make A Functional Star Trek Door For Your Home
I love Star Trek doors. You don't have to be a Trekkie to know which doors I'm talking about. I was trying to figure out today what it is about those doors that makes them so cool. I think a big aspect of it is the way they sound. That woooooooosh sound when it opens is so geeky, and it always puts ...

How To: Make A Delicious Doughless Pizza
Almost everyone loves pizza, right? I do, but I don't eat dough because I'm watching my carbs. I've often wondered why pizza restaurants offer cheeseless pizza, sauceless pizza, but not doughless pizza. Doesn't it make sense that if we get to customize the toppings, we should also be able to customi ...
How To: Get Jersey Shore Hair
Let me just go ahead right now and place a stupid warning on this article. After all, it's about Jersey Shore. It's the infamous show that everyone who watches it denies ever seeing. I remember back in the first season when the show's ratings skyrocketed, yet everyone was saying how bad it was and h ...
How To: Build A Working Urinal Out Of SNES Games
Man, I never thought I'd see the day when I'd wish I could pee standing up. This is totally not fair. Not only is this the geekiest urinal I've ever seen (oh wait, I've only seen a few of those in my life), it’s also the best use I've seen so far for all those old boring as hell sports SNES games.

How To: Peel An Orange In One Piece
We all have those little things in life that make us feel good, don't we? For me, it's opening a pickle jar without having to bang it on the counter first. Oh, and of course, parallel parking. I think I've only successful parallel-parked three or four times in my life, so when I'm able to do it, it' ...
Make Your Own Steampunk Mr. Potato Head
After seeing this steampunked Mr. Potato Head, I am officially convinced that absolutely anything can be steampunked. I'm just waiting for the day when someone steampunks their whole house, you know it's coming, right?
Instructables member saritamarianyc from New York put a steampunk spin on this ...
How To: Make Pop Rocks
Do you remember eating Pop Rocks as a kid? I do. It was like a chemistry experiment exploding in my mouth every time I ate them. I thought that eating Pop Rocks was just one of those things from the '80s that parents let us do, like riding in the car without a seat belt. You know, one of those thing ...
Good & Evil: A How-To Guide For Each Side
In a world plagued by terrorism and war, it's hard sometimes to stay positive and believe in the future of mankind. However, there are so many things that we can still marvel over that our mother earth offers us. We shouldn't delve into things that will only cause us further harm or pain.
It migh ...
How To: Be A Hacker (Or Just Look Like One)
Have you ever wondered what a computer hacker looks like? You might be surprised to know. If you haven't had much experience with all things related to being a computer geek, you probably picture a villain or scoundrel-like person in your mind. However, being a hacker doesn't necessarily have a nega ...
How To: Turn Your Own Life Into An Infographic
There is no question that people lately are getting buck wild with infographics. Most of us are information junkies who can't get enough of the daily data that is constantly in our faces. We love it all even more when it's organized in a creative way where it's easy to understand, like an infographi ...
How To: Make A Bouquet Of Bacon Roses
One of my favorite Homer Simpson quotes is "Porkchops and bacon, my two favorite animals." We love bacon too Homer. I don't know what it is about it, but that crunchy, salty yummy goodness makes people everywhere happy. Even just the smell of it can bring a smile to our faces.
Over the past year, ...
