Hey everyone, I’m back with another one of my little projects. Today, I wanna talk about something that’s been bugging me for a while now – the Marinus of Tyre map. Yeah, the one from way back in the day, like around AD 100. So, I’ve been digging into this for a few days and I just wanna share what I’ve been up to. Who Was Marinus? First off, I had to figure out who this Marinus guy was. Turns out, he was this smart dude from Tyre, which used…

Alright, folks, let me tell you about my little adventure figuring out the whole driving situation in Spain. I’ve got this trip planned, and the thought of getting behind the wheel in a foreign country was kinda freaking me out. The big question: Do I drive on the left or the right in Spain? First thing I did was hit up Google, obviously. Typed in “driving in Spain left or right” and bam, a bunch of results popped up. Seemed like the answer was pretty clear: Spain drives on the…

Today, I’m gonna tell you about something that’s been on my mind lately – can you suffocate in a ball pit? I know, it sounds kinda crazy, but I had to find out for myself. So, I decided to run a little experiment. First off, I needed a ball pit. Not having one just lying around, I went ahead and bought a small inflatable one and a bunch of those colorful plastic balls. I set it up in my living room – much to my cat’s confusion, I might add….

Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with these PEZ dispensers lately, you know, those little candy things with the heads? I thought it might be fun to try to figure out which ones are worth some dough. Turns out, it’s a bit of a rabbit hole, but here’s what I’ve dug up so far. First off, I started by looking into the history of these things. Apparently, PEZ has been around for a while. They started putting heads on them back in the 1950s to sell them to kids. I…

Alright, let me tell you about this whole Diocletian coin thing I got into recently. It all started a few weeks ago when I was watching a video about ancient coins. I thought, “Hey, that looks kind of cool, maybe I should try collecting some myself.” So, I began to do some digging. First, I just watched a bunch of videos to get a feel for the whole coin-collecting scene. There’s a ton of stuff out there, let me tell you. I mean, people are really into this stuff! These…

Okay, so I recently got into this whole coloring thing, and let me tell you, it’s pretty awesome for chilling out. I stumbled upon this thing called “Our Lady of Guadalupe coloring sheet,” and figured, why not give it a shot? First off, I had to find a good picture. I searched some websites for a printable version. I found a good-looking one, printed it out, and made sure my printer wasn’t acting up. Crisis averted. Next, I needed to gather my supplies. I decided to use my colored pencils…

So, I’ve been digging into these two old Roman poets, Horace and Virgil, just for fun. I kicked things off by reading whatever I could find about them online. Turns out, these guys were pretty big deals back in the day, writing all sorts of stuff that gave a peek into what life was like in ancient Rome. It was kinda cool to see how they used their poems to chat about everything from everyday stuff to the big, heavy topics of their time. First, I started jotting down notes…

Hey everyone, it’s your buddy here, back with another one of my little adventures in understanding stuff. So, today’s journey took me into the depths of the Bible, looking into “examples of wickedness”. Yeah, heavy stuff, I know. But stick with me, it got pretty interesting. First off, I started by just diving into the Bible itself. I figured, why not go straight to the source, right? I flipped through pages, read a bunch of verses, and let me tell you, the Bible doesn’t shy away from dishing out the…

Today, I took on this painting project, inspired by James Christensen’s “The Responsible Woman.” I’ve always liked how whimsical his stuff is, and this one, with the lady floating above the trees, really caught my eye. So, I decided, why not give it a shot myself? First off, I gathered all my painting supplies. I laid out my canvases, dug out my brushes, and mixed a bunch of acrylic paints. I wanted to get that dreamy, ethereal vibe that Christensen is known for, so I picked a palette of soft…

Today, I was looking up some information about Japanese demons. I found this topic pretty interesting, so I thought I’d share my little adventure with you all. First off, I started by just Googling “Japanese demon names.” Man, there’s a ton of stuff out there! These names are called “Yokai” in Japan. I clicked on a few sites and began to read up on what these Yokai are all about. It turns out, Yokai are a big deal in Japanese folklore. They aren’t just your regular, run-of-the-mill demons. There are…
