Make Your Own

Maybe you've always wanted to be creative. Perhaps you've felt like someone standing on the outside looking in, wishing you were a "creative person." Or maybe you've done something creative in the past, but you've gotten busy or distracted and you've put those old projects and skills on the back burner. If you find yourself resonating with either one of these scenarios then this post is for YOU.

Batfleck’s Batcave, Article #3- The Armory

As you can tell from the title, this is article #3 in this series about the Batcave, as depicted in 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, starring Ben Affleck as an older, more grizzled Batman. Thankfully for us fans, Ben Affleck will reprise his role as the Caped Crusader in the upcoming Flash movie, opening on June 16th, 2023.

If this is the first time you’ve found your way to the site, welcome! If you’d like to start with the first article in this series, you can follow this link and get the full story on this iteration of the cave – The Terrific Minimalism of Batman’s Batcave: A Look at Batfleck’s Batcave from BvS.

It wasn’t that long ago that this space was merely a pipedream for me. For a long time I had wanted a space for myself, but I had originally envisioned it as a home office. I mean that’s pretty standard, right? It might even have some fun tv/video game stuff in there for when I needed to relax. But, somewhere in the neighborhood of 2013-2015, several of my interests (self-improvement, nerdery, a “man cave”, tech, working out, a need to learn new things) began to coalesce in my mind into something that would be greater than the sum of its parts.

Why You Should Build Your Own Bumper Plate Toaster Rack

You can do it, yes YOU! Build a DIY Toaster Rack!

I recently read Adam Savage’s book, Every Tool’s a Hammer, and it absolutely reinforced a notion I have that is one of the founding beliefs of this site. As we go through life, we build beliefs about who we are, what we do, and what we’re capable of. We’re usually wrong.
