Retro Joystick Makes Your iPad That Much Cooler!
Recently Diana wrote about a suction cup iPad controller that plenty of people found quite interesting (I was one of them). But the retro feel of that "button" didn't fully tickle my fancy, so I set out to see if I could find one better. I wanted one that could make my wet retro dreams become realit ...

It seems there should be a way to travel around the world without ever having to drive to another train station. We could just take a conn ...
Recycle Those License Plates Into Retro Bowls!
Recycling is important nowadays and people are very conscious of how they dispose of their unwanted belongings. This is, of course, thanks to the many blogs and write ups that educate people about the importance of how their daily actions affect the environment. At a conference that I was fortunat ...
The Illest Custom Made Retro iPad Arcade Cabinet Ever!
The iPad gets more and more retro for each new technology it adapts. This is, I know, quite a weird statement, but I can assure you that it has a point and quite a solid one. There are new apps and games coming out for the iPad every day, and since it was released, it has become somewhat of a post ...
Icon and Iro iPhone Cases Remind Us of Failure and Success
Every time I go into a technology store or visit an online shop for iPhone cases, I always get a bit hesitant to start looking for something I might like. The amount of cases, mods and accessories are simply too great to even start messing around with. I'd rather wait for some neat post about some ...
A New And Improved Commodore 64 Soon To Be Relaunched!
Oh how I miss the '80s sometimes when I see all the stuff we used to play with. The computers back then had a certain grace and appeal to them, and as long as I live they will be retro to the degree that I always wish they would come back in some new incarnated form. Even though I wish I had never ...
Speak & Spell: Simple iPhone 4 Retro Overhaul Decal
Customization has been opened up even more with the release of the iPhone 4.

New ones are coming out daily, and if you're a design freak like me, you probably wou ...
The Retro Boombox Gets A New Face With A Touchscreen!
Kick back and press play on that cassette player you so lovingly create mixtapes for. Let the boom become the rhythm of your body and make sure your neighbors join in on the fun.

201 Megaman: Megaman Is Now Every Hero You Can Think Of!
Any respectable geek knows his or her Nintendo history and could probably confirm that Megaman is the definition of "mega" any day of the week.

A Little Piece of Nostalgia: The Cassette Tape Lamp
Do you remember cassette tapes? They are little plastic rectangles that fit in a tape recorder, and they play music. Seriously, I bet there are people who read this blog that have never seen a cassette tape before. I know my son, who is 9 years old, has never seen one or even heard of one.
Whe ...
Exclusive Nintendo NES Bed Sheets For The Retro Geek
If you're like me, you probably sported some kind of idolizing bed sheets when you were younger. It could have been everything from Michael Jackson to Super Mario or even your favorite horse. For me, it was more Star Wars than artists and animals, but everyone had their pick I guess. However, when y ...
A Roof Shingled With Vinyl Records: A Different Kind Of Retro
It's easy to fall into the pits of ordinary thinking when you look at what every other person is doing and how they are doing it. I recently heard someone say that "if every one is thinking the same, no one is thinking at all" which is definitely true. We adapt to whatever the masses think is cool ...
Geek Design: Space Invader Papercraft Business Card
Is there anything that can't be created with a piece of paper? I'm starting to think not. We've written about so much incredible papercraft on Bit Rebels that it now has its own category at the top of this blog. I used to just look at a piece of paper as just that, a piece of paper. But now, all ...
