Superhero Nursery

I totally want a superhero nursery some day but for now a friend is having a superhero themed nursery. I may have spent a little too much time looking up superhero themed baby stuff.... btw there is a LOT.

A little addition that is SUPER easy (see what I did there) is to grab some comic book covers and frame them.

Blasphemy!! Tear up comic books! No, No... I'm too cheap for that.

1. Go to google images and search for "Captain America Comic Book Cover"
2. Click Search Tools and click Any Size and change it to Large.
3. Find SUPER cool looking cover that doesn't have some kind of watermark on it.
4. Download Picture.
5. Print Picture (In windows use 8x10 and uncheck Fit picture to frame option) The white gives it a matted feel.
6. Put them in some basic frames like these Room Essentials Format Frame - 8.5x11" (Black)

7. Decide where to put them or in our case give them away.

8. ???
9. PROFIT!!

Some other ideas that we are going to totally do are putting up a batman logo and a city scape on the wall.



 

Beer Pong Automatic Ball Washer

OK back to this Nintendo controller "door"

Who needs a door!? What we really need is a table! We bought some table legs like these

Foldable table legs

and attached them to the door (now painted like a Nintendo controller).

Well we had this random hole in our table where the door knob was suppose to go. At first we were thinking a single ball washer with spinning balls in the center. How lame is that though when you can make a ball washer for each end!!

That's right we decided to make a beer pong table with automatic beer pong ball washers at each end out of an old door!

Final product:

Now lets take a look at how it works!

This shows the pipe configuration that the ping pong ball travels through to be washed.

Side View

 This is where the doorknob used to be on the door and now where the air pressure hose is connected.

Bottom View

 Next, is the bucket of water where the water drains and where the fountain pump sends water into the pipes.

Finally, friends reaction to the beer pong table:

If I were to do it again... i would just buy one off amazon.

Acronoyms and Geeks

Geeks LOVE acronoyms! They may not know it but they do. So today a friend posted a picture of their new tattoo of a pelican with a comment that it was a SCA thing.

I promptly messaged D and asked what SCA meant
D: we are smart....we can figure this out
Me: google isnt helpful
D: Self....
Me: sexual compulsives anonymous?
D: Sickle Cell Anemeia
Me: surgical care affiliates
D: Sensor Chip Assembly
Me: Scottsdale Christian Academy
D: ahh you nailed it
D: Sea Cadet Association

Sarah: Society for Creative Anachronism. My nerd-dress-up-history club. The Order of the Pelican is their lifetime service award, basically, and one of the biggest honors they have for people who do cool shit for the organization.


WTF! Out nerded.... smh

Mailbox upgrade

Over the weekend, D and I decided to spruce up the mailbox. I got D to cut down the monkey grass that had started a revolution to take over the yard.

The flag was so sun faded that it was almost the same color as the mailbox. I happen to have some florescent orange spray paint left over from my Halloween costume as a orange cone so florescent orange it is!

The orange looks a little Fisher Price but I like it. We also added the numbers which adds a nice touch!
