Diana Adams — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 19:00:21 +0000

We all have our own styles when we type our tweets. For example, some people (like me) put smileys on a lot of their tweets. Other people get annoyed by smileys, and they don’t use them at all. Some people are sarcastic, and others are always cheerful and helpful. There are probably [...]

We are huge fans of gifts for geeks here at Bit Rebels. This is especially true when it comes to superhero stuff. We’ve written about things at ThinkGeek and other sites like that many times, but recently someone showed me a geeky website that I hadn’t seen before. It’s one that’s a [...]

I love fuzzy, cozy socks. I wear them all year round. When I saw these wearable computer socks, I immediately wanted a pair. If you think it sounds strange (or smelly) to wear computer socks, just remember about all the other wearable tech that’s popular these days. Compared to some of those [...]

Why do people love to decorate cars with Sharpies? Is it because it creates graffiti-like art? Is it because it’s cheap? I don’t know, but I like it. If I had an old white car, a steady hand, and any artistic talent, I would try it myself. I remember reading about a [...]

We write a lot about the top tech companies in the world and how much they’re worth. It’s mind boggling really when you start to think about the money those companies have. It suddenly starts to make sense how Google can pay their interns over $77,000 a year (you can read about [...]

When I think of internships, I think of people trying to gather valuable experience from a company they want to learn from. Usually interns get paid a very small amount of money, but in exchange, they get to work hands on in whatever field they want experience in. That’s not how it [...]

I don’t know what it is about the ’80s retro video games, but people are still so inspired by them even today. Yesterday I wrote about a custom Miniature TRON Arcade Game that is an incredible little build created with very little RAM and memory. Today I’d like to share with you [...]
