This is just bizarre to watch! There is something so perplexing about seeing men in tuxedos swim in the ocean. This latest Improv Everywhere event took place at Coney Island where hundreds of people frolicked on a mile long stretch of beach in their formal wear. This event, which took months to put together, was [...]

In an effort to become a better blogger, I’ve recently been studying the different types of readers that visit Bit Rebels. One thing that I’ve learned, which I find fascinating, is that there are basically three different kinds of readers who visit our blog and your blog. As a blogger, it is important to understand [...]

When we are having a bad day, does chocolate really cheer us up and make us happy again? Is macaroni and cheese really a comfort food? Does it actually make us feel better when we eat it? As a woman, I have a love/hate relationship with food. I will go for weeks without eating any [...]

This is such a great design, and it totally goes in the category of “Why didn’t I think of that?” Imagine what it’s like to run your hands across faux fur, whether it is a coat or a pillow or whatever. All the color changes hue with the direction of your hands, right? By using [...]

As most of you know, our beloved @paul_steele is famous on Twitter for his hiking and tweeting. He tweets the most incredible pictures from the tops of mountains and across huge grassy landscapes where he journeys during the week. After spending 16 years in the army, Paul now enjoys his two loves, hiking and Twitter. [...]

Have you noticed that a lot of designers are getting creative with tea bags lately? It’s such a neat little trend. We’ve featured several tea bag articles here on Bit Rebels but this design might just be the cutest one yet. This is called the Hanger Tea, and it’s designed by Soon Mo Kang. Each [...]

Guys, have you ever wondered what women carry in their handbags? I admit, it’s kinda strange that we carry around a sack full of stuff wherever we go, but what exactly is it all? This is the shortest answer I can think of: We carry our life in our bag. A few minutes ago, I [...]

I love this design. After all, I think of my own car as a person. A few years ago, I even sold her, only to buy her back again because I missed her so much. She is a beauty, and I keep her leather interior all fresh and smelling good, and I make sure she [...]

Respect is one of those things that everyone wants, but few people get, especially in social media. On Twitter, it can be overwhelming at times to try and stand out in the crowd of never ending tweets. I opened my Twitter account in March of 2009. I have sent over 35,000 tweets since then, and [...]

In the past, when I’ve written an article like this, I’ve gotten tweets and comments from other girl geeks accusing me of being offensive and way too girly. Well, you know what? Pink is my favorite color and I’m a big time girly-girl geek. If that offends you, I suggest you stop reading this right [...]

There is a chance that this may be the geekiest thing you’ve read all week. The wonderful people at Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories created this humongous interactive Game Of Life. According to makezine, “Each group of 8 lights has its own circuit board and ATmega164P microcontroller, and infrared proximity sensors tell it when someone touches [...]

When my father was alive, one of his favorite pastimes was building wooden birdhouses in his workshop, so I have especially fond memories of birdhouses. Combine that with my love of everything pixilated, and you will understand why I would live in one of these birdhouse cities if I were a bird. The London artists [...]

In case you’ve been living under a rock and you somehow missed the whole Chatroulette craze, don’t worry, you didn’t miss much. From the beginning that site was associated with the kind of people you would only expect to see at the DMV. To celebrate Chatroulette being gone combined with the movie The Last Exorcism, [...]

We’ve featured a lot of artists on Bit Rebels, but I think this guy might get the award for being the geekiest one of all. Paul Flannery, from London, created this mural below using only HTML and CSS. When I first saw this, I was sure that it was really a painting. I thought he [...]

I’ve written so many tattoo articles that when I saw this, I knew we had to add it to our collection. Now we don’t have to just contemplate getting a tattoo, we can also consider a dattoo. A dattoo is a DNA tattoo. Yeah, I know, it sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it? In theory, a dattoo [...]

This is a huge deal for those of us that live in the States! As of today, Gmail users in the United States will be able to make and receive calls from their Gmail account. How cool is that? According to Gmail, all calls made to phone numbers within the States and Canada will be [...]

Ya know how sometimes you get in the mood to write about those things in life that really don’t matter to anyone? Yeah… that’s the kind of mood I’m in so here goes. We all know by now that two days ago Lada Gaga overtook Britney Spears and became the person on Twitter with the [...]

We’ve written about the designs of Dominic Wilcox many times on Bit Rebels. His innovative and creative style always makes me smile. I have to wonder though, when he created this design, was he serious or was it a sarcastic gesture? There are many reasons why some people don’t like shaking hands. Some people are [...]

It’s always fun to see the world around us from the view of a microscope, isn’t it? It makes us realize that what the human eye is capable of seeing really doesn’t capture the big picture. I remember when I wrote the article that illustrated what drops of alcoholic beverages look like under a microscope. [...]
