Are you ready to cut some corners in order to get an old school computer on your desk? Well, here is your chance. And when I say "cut corners," I of course mean it literally.

How To: Create A Recycled Wine Cork Christmas Wreath…
I recently wrote an article about how you could use 175 wine corks to create a bathroom mat. As you might imagine, that would either take a lot of drinking, or a lot of money wasted pouring out the wine in the sink. Either way, it's quite a creative little tutorial. However, there is more. That ...
Bath Mat: The Wonderful Recycled Use Of 175 Wine Corks
Finding alternate uses of things that you would normally just throw away is not exactly an easy task. We have touched on the subject before, and it always boils down to a creative and brilliant idea.

Dancing is an art form or means of self expression. Some people do it for a living, and other people have just taken a few dance lessons in the past. My mom is a great dancer, she has over 100 trophies. However, when my dad was still with us, he could only dance to the slow songs.
I wish I was ...
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 ...
How To: Have Fun Going Tweet Shopping
I have a confession to make. I hate shopping. I know it's strange since many women love to go to the mall, but not me. I live in a big city (Atlanta). To me, the driving, parking, traffic and crowds are just not worth it. Like a lot of Americans, I do most of my shopping online.
However, there is ...
The Rainbow Cocktail Shots: Can You Explain It?
Ordering a nice drink can be quite a task if you do not know what you want. I mean, checking through long lists of drinks doesn't really look impressive and ordering a White Russian or a GT isn't exactly the most intellectual choice you can make at the bar. Beer isn't always the best choice either ...
iPads To Replace Textbooks In Some Schools!
If you are a parent like me, you know that sooner or later you will have an "I remember when..." story to tell your child. Of course, my mother's story went something like, "I remember walking for two miles in the snow just to get to the bus stop." Okay Mom, I get it that I had it easier growing u ...

There are many instruments that have been subject to re-thinking and re-design. Some have turned out to be pure flops, while others have lingered on in our minds as cool. However, usually we don't see many odd instruments making it up on the stage, at least not with the popular artists around the ...
How To: Scan And Open Money Images In Photoshop
It has long been said that Photoshop refuses to open or print any scanned money images. It just won't. It's a security feature that the governments have asked Adobe to implement. How it works is still a secret. However, it's not that hard to figure out that it digitally scans the image, and if i ...
Amazing Rastermation And How To Do It
I recently got caught up in an intensely interesting animation technique called "Rastermation". It's like nothing else I have ever seen. The results that can be achieved with Rastermation are pure magic, and if I were a kid today, this would totally make me wanna start to animate. Even though the wh ...
How To: Be Alone and Be Happy
This is my 660th article on Bit Rebels. I've had a blast writing every single one of them. Many of those articles feature unique artists that I find inspiring. Many times those artists that view the world just a tiny bit differently than the rest of us are the ones that can inspire us to become b ...
How To: Surf with Just a Tarp and a Skateboard
It's summer, and it's hot like a mofo outside. All you want is to go to the beach and catch a wave or two. Surfing on the computer is no fun, and unfortunately, the beach is too far away for you to ever make it there and back in the time you have. What will you do then? Well, you don't have many ...

Homemade Space Helmet Breaks All Boundaries!
We're in the middle of the space age, and we break boundaries every day.
