Star Wars Posters: They Don’t Get More Minimalistic Than This
When I look at really creative and impressive posters, I always get a little childish thinking that I want to plaster my walls with them all over again. You know, just like we did when we were little kids, and we had every chance in the world to act like it as well. My walls were completely covered ...
Waste In Space: It’s Not Just Earth That Needs Cleaning Up
I know there is a lot of garbage on earth, that's no surprise, but I never thought about it being in space before. And yes, most of the trash in space is caused by humans. Space debris is commonly defined as nonfunctional, human-made materials in orbit caused by everything from spent booster stages ...
This Is How NASA Imagined Space Stations In 1970
I always get overly excited and impressed every time that NASA launches another spacecraft into space. The force and the technology seems almost dreamish when you see it in its full scale. However, I always get slightly annoyed that they still have somewhat old school interfaces when we see the insi ...
Design: Google’s Creative Director Makes A Parallel World
Some people who work at Google are very focused on coming up with new ways to harness creativity, innovation and space, as we all know. For example, there is a white space above us which is unused by television after the transition to digital. Google is working to find a way to use that space.

Audio Gaming: Pew Pew Is Still Packing A Punch
I just love it when someone thinks outside the box for a change. We're already seeing all of these first person shooters packed up on the shelves at the game store. Do we really need another game just like the sequel before it? I mean, sure, it has better graphics and a better or different story ...
Project Space Planes: Geeky Paper Airplanes Fall From Space
What a brilliant promotion sponsored by Samsung. 100 geeky paper airplanes were recently dropped to the earth from space. They were geeky because each folded airplane contained a Samsung SD Memory Card with a random message from a random person on it.
What was the purpose of the Project Space P ...
Blueprints: Now You Can Build Your Own Millennium Falcon
While Richard Branson is working on taking us out into space for a few minutes in weightlessness, there are other people working on actually letting us plan our vacations in space. If I am not entirely wrong, I believe it is the Russians that are currently working on a space station that us deadly ...

How To: Make A Convincing (Fake) UFO Video
With Halloween on the way, and all things scary soon to be upon us, it seems only fitting to write an article about UFOs. Even though I don't have any brothers, there were plenty of older boys in my life when I was little to make sure I got the bejeezus scared out of me each Halloween.
One thing ...
The Elegantly Geek Way To Store Your Bicycle
I am a bike-riding fanatic. I have been all over Atlanta on my bicycle. Almost every weekend I grab a bottle of water and go out on my bike for several hours.
I don't really have a good storage place for my bike though. I don't like leaving it outside, but keeping it inside is cumbersome since ...
Car Part Shed: Used Car Parts Get A New Purpose
If you remember when you got your first car and how special it was, then you also know that when you had the ability to upgrade it, it was not easy parting with your first love so to speak. It probably was the one thing you thought about whenever you were looking at a new car, and with good reason ...

If you're one of the millions of people that hauled your butt to the movie theater to watch the epic movie "2012" only to come out of it fully convinced that Earth is going kablam exactly when the Mayan calendar says it will, this might be something for you to consider. There are people out there t ...
Space Invaders Is Now Sticky As Tape!
Here on Bit Rebels we love Space Invaders. If we could, we would all run down to the local arcade and play this legendary game over and over and... well I think you get what I am saying. There have been many articles about the awesomeness of Space Invaders, and it's not about to stop anytime soon. ...
How To: Make Fake Vomit (Official NASA Recipe)
I'm feeling a little queasy from writing this article. NASA is in the process of testing some new space garbage bags. Since there is not enough room in a spacecraft to separate wet trash from dry trash, containing odors is a big deal. It's important to keep the astronauts feeling comfortable, so ...
The Cube – In This Office You’re the Boss!
For those of us in the corporate world, we slave away at our desk most of the day and more often than not, we are in front of our computers. Our office is one big open space where the desks are facing each other. There are no walls at all. In some offices, people actually have to work in cubicles ...
