Crazy Glow Stick Experiment: Let There Be Light!
My first contact, visually that is, with glow sticks was when I watched some movie for the first time. It was a lot of years ago, but I still remember the cool attitude those puppies gave off. I was mesmerized by the light and the simplicity of how they worked. I don't exactly remember which movie i ...
Marbelous: The Most Fun And Creative Dinner Table Yet
During the chaos last week when I had to work from a crummy laptop, I had a lot of time since my dongle Internet connection was best at night and early in the morning (go figure). I had some time to go window shopping during the days. It was a neat experience to switch up the ole schedule a little a ...
Action Figures: Customized To Look Like Close Friends
Dr. Jesse Weiss is the Associate Professor of Sociology and Environmental Studies at the University of the Ozarks. If you look at his picture on the school website, he looks like an ordinary guy. However, behind that scruffy beard and those black glasses lies a mad scientist who can do something mag ...
A Toaster Made Out Of… Toast!
I just had breakfast, and I'm settling back in front of the screen again to keep working. I've long been contemplating whether or not I should start taking pictures while having breakfast just to make these somewhat lame moments everlasting and static. For whatever reason, I have no idea why, but th ...
8-Bit Mapping: We’re Living In A Retro World
With all this new technology constantly becoming better and cheaper, there is a community out there that is just dying to make the most of it. Projectors are getting cheaper by the minute, and the more powerful they are the better, at least to the guys that are into "Mapping." It's a new kind of mov ...
The Elastic Alphabet: Rubber Band Typography
It's easy to see why so many people like typography in all its shapes and forms. There is a correct definition for typography that is quite specific, but there seems to be a multitude of opinions about that. Typography to many people is just text plotted out in various forms, shapes and constellatio ...
Star Wars Crayon Carvings Set
For a kid, a simple crayon can be the most wondrous thing in the world. The things you can create with a crayon on a paper are limitless, and as a kid, that's the first thing you figure out when trying one out. For most of us, the doodles don't resemble much in the beginning, but as we learn to wiel ...
Boxers: Before & After The Fight
I have never been much of a boxing fan, but when Mike Tyson was active, I would watch the fights just to see how fast he would knock the poor guy out. He always amazed people in his glorious days, and I am sure many would consider him to be the best boxer that ever walked the planet. Sure, many woul ...
The Burning House: The Things People Would Save
There are events in everyone's life that we would rather not live through, and if we had a remote control a la the movie Click!, I am sure we would use it more than once through the course of our lives. However, some things are of course good for experience, and without them, we would continuously s ...
Benjamin Customization: Make Your Own $100 Bill
Are you tired of the same old Benjamin Franklin on your $100 bills? Well, there is not much we can do about that, but you can switch it up a little bit at least. You can imagine that with all the credit cards being thrown around, and the constant initiative where banks send us the same "Get a credit ...
How To: Build A Lego Ship In A Bottle
Did you know that it's really possible to build a Lego ship in a bottle? It is! I can tell you after watching this time-lapse video that it will take a very steady hand and a ton of patience. Julia Morley gets my Geek of the Week award for sure!
She says at the beginning of the video that this "p ...
Yarn Ferrari: Carefully Knitted Using 12 Miles Of Yarn
It's easy to get mesmerized by the splendor of sports cars. I don't think I am exaggerating when I say that pretty much every little kid at some point says to themselves that one day they will own a sports car to impress everyone. As we grow older, we start thinking that a sports car might impress t ...
The Ultimate Secret Hiding Place In Your House
I've always thought the idea of leaving a time capsule for future generations to find would be fun. It's even fun to pack away a magazine or trinket in a box only to find it years later in the basement or attic. Wouldn't it be neat to find a tiny hidden treasure somewhere in your house that someone ...

HTC: Are Multiple Smartphone OS’s A Dream Or Could They Be Real?
We have touched the subject before here at Bit Rebels. It's a utopia that I think most people would love to see come true. The question is, of course, if it ever will become a reality. There is far too much money to be made keeping things as they are with only one OS on each cell phone. But ther ...
