Guy Builds His Own Batcave

Posted on by

Most Batman fans are happy to collect the comic books, watch the movies and display their action figures on a shelf. Not Chris Weir. Chris is too big a fan to be content with those things. He collects all that stuff, but he needed his own Batcave to put it all in.

So he did what any enterprising superfan would do – and made his own Batcave. It took him two years to build and cost over $150,000(USD) in renovation costs. He even chose the house specifically because it had enough basement space for his project.

Just like in the classic TVshow, he flips the head on the Shakespeare bust, pushes a button and a bookcase opens up.

The Batcave doubles as a home theater of course with a 120-inch Cinemascope screen and a Batman replica suit, among other goodies. Hey Chris, invite me over!

Urban Beehive

Posted on by

The reddot award winning Urban Beehive from Philips Design shows us that ant farms are obsolete and we should be gunning our attention on bees. The Urb is in line with the concept and makes beekeeping a ‘less daunting and more attractive process for novices.’ The biggest advantage is that you don’t need to adorn the protective garb when you handle the bin. You can observe the colony and use the technology implements to extract the honey easily.

This hasn’t been explained clearly, but I am sure there must be a process in place to do it right. In any case this beehive is ideal for home gardens and community parks.
