Get Your Geek Romance On With Remote Control Candles
Earlier today I wrote an article about a clever little candle made out of a tangerine. It was cute and creative; however, not very geeky. I want to make sure we have a candle for the geeks here too, so here is the geekiest candle I could find... it's lit with a remote control!
What could be bet ...
Now Having A Laser Light Show For Your Party Is A Breeze!
I have produced several parties and events over the past six years. We have organized events that catered to small groups of 100 people all the way up to 5,000 guests in one night. The elements that seem to capture their interests, aside from the entertainment (bands or live performers) are the vi ...
Technology: Band-Aids That Alert Us To Infection
Here we go again. Yep, this is another thing that I will be telling my grandchildren, "When I was little, we had to rip the band-aid off our cut to check to see if it was healing or infected. And it hurt!" At least, that's the way I remember it.
Some really smart and practical scientists at the ...
Technology: Grow Vegetables Without Sunlight
I know this may sound creepy, but have you ever wondered how we will grow vegetables if there is ever a nuclear holocaust and we are all living in our bunkers?
Even if we live in a super fancy bunker like this, we are still going to have to grow food, right? I mean, we can't live on canned food ...
A LED Watch or a Watch with Prime Numbers? Take Your Pick!
Fashion is something that both men and women are more conscious of these days. We all know people that are very particular about what they wear. What I like about the present time is that no one needs to follow trends, unlike the 80s and the 90s where everything was dictated. Now we can choose cl ...
Lipstick Enigma: A Lipstick Installation of Geeky Goodness
In my opinion, there are two separate and distinct types of girl geeks in the world (maybe even more). One type of girl geek is the hardcore geek who doesn't like any distinction between her and a guy geek. She views being feminine as an unnecessary weakness. She is always willing to take on a gu ...
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 ...
Technology: Never Fall Asleep While Driving Again!
Have you ever fallen asleep while driving? I don't drive as much at night as I used to, so lately this hasn't been a problem for me; however, when I was in my 20s, it was a completely different story.
I used to drive every Friday night from Savannah to Charleston, which took many hours, and I al ...
Technology: Is This The First Robot Pop Star?
I write about robots frequently because they fascinate me. In the past few years, scientists have come a long way in bridging the gap between human beings and robots when it comes to feelings and emotions.
You know what they say... Once we start to accept robots on an emotional level, we will st ...
Photoshop: Make Your Photos Zoooooooom!
We love photography on Bit Rebels. All of us have fun taking pictures, and we enjoy sharing new techniques with you as we learn them ourselves.
Nowadays, sometimes it's hard to tell if a photograph is raw or if it's been altered in Photoshop. I think sometimes Photoshop gets a bad name. I real ...
The Compass Alert System That Aids In Evacuations
One designer that really puts a lot of thought into his work is Mathieu Azema. He designs with his users in mind. This design of his centers on having an alert system that can aid people when there is a need for an evacuation.
One scenario he pointed out is when we are in a movie theater and an ...
Dress Up Your iPhone 4 Leica Style!
The iPhone is a great gadget! When my iPhone needed to be reformatted, I did not have it for about two months so I got a Blackberry Bold. I love both phones. They each have their own particular attributes in terms of functions that anyone would love, so I guess it all still comes down to the indi ...
The Hanko Watch: Tells Time with LED Technology!
Technology is now being embraced in the fashion world. Back in the old days, watches were simple. You know, they had a square or a round face with the numbers 1 through 12, and 2 hands that told us the hour and the minutes. But now, watches have evolved to fit the lifestyle of the people who wear ...
Woman Sues Yahoo Over Search Results and Loses
This court case reminds me of all the funny Seinfeld episodes where they sued for ridiculous reasons, like Kramer getting burned by the coffee and the "Oh Henry" candy bar episode. The difference is, this happened in real life.
Beverly Stayart sued Yahoo because she did a search for her name and ...
The Vending Machine That Rewards A Smile!
Vending machines make it really convenient for us to buy what we need instantly. Vending machines usually carry cigarettes, soft drinks, candy, etc... I was in a meeting earlier today, and we were shown the newer lines of vending machines that are now available for brands to use as a way to showca ...
