The Inkless Metal Pen That Writes On Metal!
People who are close to me know that I doodle a lot. I always have a Moleskine or a drawing pad handy. I also carry a mechanical pencil. It is so convenient because you don't have to sharpen it. I can draw all day, and having to sharpen a pencil is just too much hassle. I really liked Richard's ...

Creative Coffee Cup Design – Caffeine Inspiration
A lot of people, especially designers, seem to be very inspired by coffee and hot tea, have you noticed that? Maybe it's because designers often keep unusual hours, so they drink a lot of it to stay alert. Or, perhaps it's just because most of us plain love those drinks!

40 Hour Doodles – These Are Not Photographs!
We have touched on the subject before here on Bit Rebels. Doodling is a common endeavor and is done on different levels by our readers and visitors.
