Anatomy Of An Audio Cassette (For All The Youngins)
I know one of the first things someone is going to ask me about this article is what is a "youngin." According to the Urban Dictionary, the word youngin is country slang, and it means young people. I live in the south, and a lot of people here who use that word, so I can assure you it's alive and we ...
How To Create Your Own Lifelog & Augment Your Memories
About a month ago, Richard wrote about an app that would allow you to record one second of each day of your life and then put it all together into a short video so you could basically view a whole year of memories in about six minutes. When I read about that, I remember thinking it was one of the mo ...

Leather USB Bracelet: Take Your Special Memories With You
The trend over the past few years has definitely been to carry our data with us in the form of wearable USB devices. We've written about a lot of them, and my favorite has always been the R2-D2 Flash Drive Cufflinks. Too bad I'm not a guy or I'd be all over those. There has been a lot of USB jewelry ...

A Tribute To The ’80s VHS Tapes & Games [12 Sharpie Drawings]
I can still remember the day that our family got a VCR when I was young. My little sisters and I were so excited that we would actually be able to watch a movie at home instead of in the theater. The year was 1988, and we were so fascinated with that brand new device that we watched our VHS tapes ov ...
Imagine A Future Where We’ll Be Able To Download Memories
It sounds like the stuff of science-fiction and geek ideology, but the ability to download memories may be a full blown reality for the future generations of planet Earth.

Photography: What Would You Take If Your House Was On Fire?
I know this is a horrible thought, but if your house was on fire and you only had time to grab a few things before you got out, what would you take? It's a classic question really, and I've thought about it many times. Aside from animals of course, I would take my iPhone, my laptop, my son's artwork ...

We often talk about retro '80s video games on Bit Rebels. All of us here grew up during that time, and we'll never forget all those lazy Saturday afternoons when our only care in the world was where our next quarter was coming from so we could play again. Those were the days of tube socks, short sho ...
This One Pic Explains The Evolution Of Technology!
I think by now most of us have seen a lot of people trying to summarize the evolution of technology with long and tedious posts that keep us busy reading for a while before we actually see the timeline unfold before our eyes. We've even seen a few attempts of people depicting the technology evolutio ...
Interactive Headstones: Bringing Technology To The Cemetery
I know this is a morbid thought, but what if we schedule some tweets, and then we die, and those tweets go out afterwards on schedule? They'll literally be tweets from a ghost. I remember when Richard wrote about Webwill which is a service that streamlines all our social media so when we die someday ...

What You See vs. What Your Kids See [7 Pics]
If you are a parent, you have most likely smiled more than once while thinking about how your child views the world. Whether it's looking up at a cloud and seeing an elephant, laughing because they hear Santa Claus on the roof, or crying because they see a monster under the bed, kids definitely live ...
Artistic Inspiration: Thousands of Memories Mashed Into One
Wow, this is nuts! It's one of those projects that would take me a decade to finish, no, on second thought, a lifetime. Artist Corinne Vionnet created these pictures of famous monuments below. Well, she sort of created them. What she actually did is mind bending.
She made these from actual to ...
Rainbow Colored Friendship, Vomit and Tears
I'm strangely drawn to these illustrations. It's probably because I have a lot of experience with puking and crying.
