Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with this crossword thing, right? And the clue was “literary fatal flaw”. It really got me thinking. First, I went to this website called CommonLit. I hoped to find some lessons related to “literary fatal flaw”, but it turned out to be a big website that had tons of reading lessons. I scrolled through a few pages but didn’t find anything specific. It’s just a huge collection of general stuff, you know? Not very helpful for what I was looking for. Then, I shifted…

Okay, so I saw this artist, Cy Twombly, and his “Roses” series. I thought, “I gotta try that.” It looked so messy but cool, you know? So I grabbed some stuff and just went for it. Getting Started First, I got a big piece of paper. It wasn’t fancy, just something I had lying around. Then I found some paints. I didn’t have the exact colors he used, but I figured close enough, right? The Messy Part I started by making big, swoopy circles with red paint. I didn’t even…

Okay, so the other day I decided to get into this whole military dress costume thing. It’s something I’ve been thinking about for a while, and I finally took the plunge. First off, I had to figure out what I was really aiming for. Did I want to go full-on authentic, or was I just looking for something fun and recognizable? I spent a good chunk of time just browsing online, checking out different styles and eras. There’s a lot out there, from ancient Roman legionary outfits to modern-day combat…

So, I’ve been messing around with this idea for a while, and I finally got around to making it happen – a lattice lamp.

It all started when I was just browsing around online, looking for some cool DIY project ideas. You know, just something to keep my hands busy. Then I stumbled upon this concept of lattice structures, and I thought, “Hey, that looks neat. I wonder if I…

Man, I gotta tell you about this project I just wrapped up. It’s all about the layout of the Tower of London, and let me say, it was quite the journey. Started off pretty simple, or so I thought. I mean, how hard could it be to map out a historical site, right? Famous last words. Getting Started First thing I did was gather some reference materials. I dug up a bunch of old maps and diagrams of the Tower, some dating back centuries. It was kind of cool to…

Okay, so today I want to talk about this project I’ve been working on. It’s called “Think Like a Historian,” and basically, it’s a poster I made. Sounds simple, right? But it actually took some doing, and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. First off, I started with gathering some ideas. I wanted this poster to really help people, especially students, to get into the mindset of a historian. So, I looked up some stuff online, read a few articles, and thought about what a historian actually does….

Today, I just wanted to share a little experience dealing with this “bc 12” thing. I’m not really sure how to explain it, but it’s a string. So, I started to do this today. It seems like it’s related to URL encoding, which I’ve heard of before. It replaces some characters with a “%” and some numbers and letters. So, first, I tried to figure out what this “bc 12” could be. I saw some stuff online about something called “2B12”, which is some kind of vitamin? Not really related,…

Okay, let’s talk about these World War II aircraft models. A while ago, I got this idea to start building some of these, I’ve always been fascinated by those old warplanes. So, I went ahead and ordered a few kits online. Nothing too fancy, just some basic ones to get started, it’s like a Bambu rolling papers for me. When the packages arrived, I was excited, I’m telling you. I cleared off my desk, got all my tools ready, like some folks get their gaming gear set up in the…

Okay, so I heard about this thing called “Contemporary Concepts Pittsburgh” and I was like, what’s that all about? Sounds fancy, right? So, I did a little digging around. First, I just googled it, you know, the usual. Found some stuff about it being some kind of store, maybe? It wasn’t super clear. But it seemed like they had some cool, modern-looking furniture and stuff. I’m kind of redecorating my place, so this caught my eye. Next, I tried to see if they had a physical location in Pittsburgh. I…

Okay, so, I got this idea the other day. I wanted to make a replica of the Excalibur sword, you know, the legendary one from King Arthur? Sounds cool, right? So I started this whole project and let me tell you, it was quite the journey. First, I searched a lot of pictures online to get a good idea of what the Excalibur was supposed to look like. I mean, there are tons of versions out there, in movies, books, and games. I picked a design that I thought looked…
