Keep Your Tootsies Warm: Innovative Personal Heater Design
I'm a very cold natured person. In the wintertime, even though I live in the south, I'm pretty much always freezing cold. If it's below 70F (21C), I'm dressing in several layers of clothes to stay warm. There's lots of fun stuff that happens outside when the weather gets cold, but I miss a lot of it ...
Become A Sexy Beast With A Bushy Tail & Fuzzy Ears
These tails and hats definitely get the wacko award for the day, but hey, I'd wear them. I've always had a secret fantasy about growing up and becoming a wolf, or maybe I just want to meet a sexy wolfman, I don't know. Either way, according to BeastWares, everyone looks unbearably cute in these, and ...
The Yoda Baby Hat: Wear or Wear Not
Aww Star Wars baby cosplay! Ok, maybe not. All I know is I want one of these for myself. I wonder if I could stretch this tiny hat onto my big head, hmmm that might be a challenge. Etsy member knitterkrys made this baby beanie from green acrylic yarn. This is her original design, obviously inspired ...
Wow! Snowflakes Under A Microscope
I've always been inspired by snowflakes. To me, they are like little specks of magic when they fall from the sky. Since it doesn't snow much in Atlanta, I don't get to see snowflakes very often. I remember in January I wrote 5 Lessons A Snowflake Can Teach Us About Blogging on a day when it snowed h ...
The Geek Way To Keep Your Hands Toasty Warm
I don't know about you, but my hands have basically been cold nonstop for four months. I've been freezing my butt (and hands) off this season, and I've never before written so many articles about snow and cold weather.
I have a space heater running continuously underneath my desk. It has truly be ...
The Bike Plow: Turns Snow Plowing Into Piles Of Fun
Sweden recently got a little bit of snow, and once again the mercury went down on the thermometer. It's no surprise, and it is usually the case during winter over here. I have nothing against snow, and during Christmas time (even though it's long gone and forgotten today), there has to be snow in ...
9 Ice Sculptures That Will Inspire You!
Writing here on Bit Rebels is a little bit like a diary to me. Everything I write about every day always has something to do with what I'm going through in my life at that moment. It's really fun for me sometimes to go back over the 1000+ articles I've written here and reminisce over what was happ ...
Design: Cozy Knitted Sweaters For Your Coffee Mugs
I have a confession to make. Normally I wouldn't put this in an article, but since I tweeted it to my friend today, I guess it's public information anyway. Last night, I slept with my winter gloves and scarf on. And, yes, I sleep inside the house. I have central heat, but it's just so unusually ...
5 Lessons A Snowflake Can Teach Us About Blogging
We aren't very familiar with snow in Atlanta. If we are lucky, it snows about two or three days each winter (about an inch or two each time), and it is usually melted after a few hours. However, this week it's very different. It's like we are living in the twilight zone or something. We have a l ...
Going To Extremes: Would You Swim Here?
Many of you have probably seen people tweet about how cold it is in the Southern part of the United States right now. I realize it's December, so logically, it's supposed to be cold, right? No. It doesn't usually get this cold here. I've lived in Atlanta for over ten years, and I can confirm tha ...
iSnow: A Snowmobile Inspired by Apple
Sometimes I think designers attach the Apple name onto their concept designs just to get attention. I mean, when something has absolutely nothing to do with Apple, yet the designer attaches that logo, it kinda makes you wonder.
That is the case with this snowmobile, but I don't care. I still li ...
The Green House Effect: Totally Different From What You Think!
I think that everyone has heard about the Green House Effect by now, and it's affecting us all in one way or another. Some people and scientists blame our escalating bad weather and catastrophes on it. It's safe to say though that something is up and about to be terribly wrong if nothing is done. I ...
Illustrations – The Impressive Imagination of Karl Kwasny
Imagination is a wonderful thing. Some have a vivid one and some none at all. Imagination is the one thing that connects people to the continuous technological developments that we see each and every day. Having a vivid imagination isn't just for being able to crack the next big thing or to think ...
Human Landscapes: If Your Skin Grows Moss And Cows
We've posted quite a lot of odd things here on Bit Rebels, and we're not about to stop anytime soon. Everything from sketches to furniture has been dissected and showcased, each with that little bit of an edge. It's time to widen our perspective when it comes to art cause this "genre" of art I hav ...
13 Snow Pictures To Make You Smile!
For several months now I’ve been watching many of my friends on Twitter tweet about snow. They talk about shoveling their cars out of snow and making paths to walk. Even my friend @SashaHalima, who primarily lives in Miami, just experienced her first snow storm when she was in New York City.
