I remember about a week ago, my co-writer and friend, Lindsay Fultz, wrote an article here on Bit Rebels called Twitter Mentions Are The New You’ve Got Mail & Celebrity Autograph. I laughed so hard when I read it because she hit the nail on the head with that one. Even though sometimes we want to play it all cool, on the inside, we completely freak out when we get a tweet from a celebrity, right? As a matter of fact, my friend Debbie and I ...
These little tiny carpets for your computer mouse are just as cute as can be. After all, it’s important to keep your mouse comfy and cozy so it performs well for you all day long, right? They are called Mouserugs, and they resemble fancy oriental rugs that we sometimes see in people’s homes. These aren’t just mouse pads that look like rugs either. Each one is designed as an exact replica of a full-size oriental rug, which means each one is created with millions of colored ...
Did you know that your handwriting reveals some things about your personality to those who read it? It’s true. I barely know how to write anymore since I type everything. I wonder what that says about my personality. About a year ago, I read that some schools are considering not teaching students how to write in cursive anymore since it’s becoming antiquated. For those of you who still indulge in the art of handwriting, you may find this fascinating. I know I did. Flavorwire recently did ...
One of the things that separates an average photographer from a great photographer is the ability to create magical, intriguing photos from every day things that could be otherwise considered boring and not worth a second look. It’s truly a gift when talented photographers do this. It’s like they are able to see with a different set of eyes than the rest of us. Take this collection of abandoned cars for example. It’s called From the Backseat of My Car by photographer Alicia Rius. She writes, “I ...
This retro TV is such a beauty in its original form, but when it’s transformed into this super sweet bar, well, it’s goes from retro brilliance to retro badass. I’ve never seen one of these televisions since they were before my time, but I have pictures of my grandmother watching one in her living room. Back in the old days, when these old-fashioned televisions were popular, people used to gather around it and watch shows together. Now that we all have our mobile devices and social ...
How would you like to dine at a restaurant built right at the base of a waterfall? I don’t mean you’d be sitting a safe distance away from the waterfall, I mean… your table, your feet, and your entire experience (including the sounds) would all revolve around the rushing water. That would create a memory to last a lifetime. There is a restaurant in the world where you can have this actual experience. It’s at the Villa Escudero resort in the Quezon province of the Philippines. ...
This infographic asks the question, “Are jerks the future of the Internet?” Most of the sites where I’ve seen this posted elaborate with a story about jerk behavior that they’ve experienced in social media. I feel like I’m living in the twilight zone a little bit right now because I’ve had a completely different experience in social media. It’s true that I get the occasional troll comment on one of my 2,180 articles, but it doesn’t happen very often. A year ago when I wrote 10 ...
Do you eat tofu? I don’t. Do you even know what tofu is? I wrote a whole article about a year ago called Do You Really Know What Tofu Is, but even after that, I’m not sure what it is. All I know is that I’m not going to put it in my mouth. All kidding aside, we know that tofu is better for the environment than a lot of other options when it comes to animals, food and waste. Now in addition to eating tofu, ...
Back in mid-2009, I wrote an article about how to correctly eat a chicken wing. It was my first article ever to go viral. I remember that was the first time I ever got on the digg front page. Does anyone even go to digg anymore? It was a brilliant technique for eating chicken wings, and I’ve used it many times since I eat chicken wings almost every week. Today I found another technique which could possibly trump that other one. If you are eating wings ...
Some people keep their Christmas lights strung around their house all year long because they are too lazy to take them down. Christmas is long gone, but I even saw a car on the highway yesterday with lights still covering the hood. Some people, like me, like to keep those lights handy all year round too, but it’s not because we are lazy, it’s because we simply love the look of those lights, especially the colorless ones. Those lights look so pretty at night lining the ...
Forget all those other iPad covers you’ve been looking at, these are where it’s at. I want all of them. These would make great gifts for your retro geek friends who have birthdays coming up. They are not only cozy and soft, they’ll protect your iPad and keep it safe until you are ready to use it again. These are made by Etsy artist Geeky Girlfriend who has the Esty shop called MyGeekyBoyfriend. Of course, as you can probably tell by the name, her boyfriend inspired ...
We’ve featured tons of very well done fan-created videos before, but this one is definitely different from the rest. It’s, well, how do I put this… This is the most violent, bloody, Lego specimen of badassery that I’ve seen in a long time. It’s like the most violent 2:25 clip you’ve ever watched, and it’s all played out in Lego minifigs. It’s enough to twist your brain into a pretzel. It’s not every day you get the chance to see a Lego Captain America rip off ...
