Man Builds A Real Live Bat Cave (Video)

Batman fanatic Chris Weir has built himself a real-life Bat Cave in his basement, dropping more than $120,000 US (£78,000) on his home project and Batman-related interests. Suffice it to say, Weir is obsessed with Batman the Dark Knight. Batman comic books, action figures, and TV and movie posters and other paraphernalia. Kinda cool that his wife (Joanna) is on board… as long as the bills get paid.

While the Wayne Manor version might put more emphasis on the Bat Crime Lab, Weir’s features a home cinema inside the Bat Cave with a 100-inch TV screen where he watches Batman movies, shows and cartoons with his wife and young sons Zachary and Daniel.

“I wanted the room to look like something Batman himself would operate in, but its all for entertainment purposes,” Weir comments.

Weir’s infatuation with Batman began at age three when he played Batman and Robin in his yard with his uncle. Now 38, this grown man can do whatever the hell he wants… and he wants to play Batman with his fam.

Enjoy the video above. Interesting.

Extreme Food: They Have Donut Sandwiches Now? Yes!

comp_badfood17__01__630x420Wow! Now this is food porn. Gooey, sticky, tasty lovin’… of food… to the extreme! Now, did anyone ever confirm if the late great Luther Vandross really ate those ‘Luther Burgers’ (cheese burgers with Krispy Kreme doughnuts for buns)? If so, Dunkin’ Donuts is kinda biting! Not quite a burger, but that’s gotta be next right? Check out the (delicious) insanity coming from Dunkin’ Donuts and others in Businessweek.

‘Surprise: Some people make sandwiches with doughnuts. Now a doughnut sandwich is available for a lucky (or brave) few at none other than Dunkin’ Donuts (DNKN). The chain is testing a Glazed Donut Breakfast Sandwich—there’s a pepper fried egg and cherrywood-smoked bacon inside—in about a dozen stores in the Boston area.’

Technology: Muscle-Reading Remote Control

tech_innovator15__405inline

‘Engineering student Stephen Lake, 23, and his 15-employee startup, Thalmic Labs, has since developed a plastic armband called Myo (Greek for “muscle”) that allows wearers to control electronic devices with gestures without holding a gadget. The band detects electrical impulses traveling from the brain to hand and arm muscles. Software translates these signals in a way that a PC, tablet, or remote-controlled helicopter can interpret. (Thalmic is awaiting patent approvals.) “We already use our hands for everything,” Lake says, after demonstrating how Myo can replace a keyboard and mouse…While Thalmic hasn’t yet released apps for Myo, it has presold more than 25,000 of the armbands on its website at $149 a pop and raised over $1 million from angel investors and Canadian government and university grants.’

No product on the market, yet he has all this going for him. Do you respect this young innovator’s techno-business-gangsta yet? What if I told you that the Businessweek writeup has the market for this gadget at about a half BILLION dollars??!! Yeah, who do you know who had it going like this at 23?
