Weekend Preview: 'Miss Peregrine', 'Deepwater Horizon' and 'Masterminds'

When compared to last year, September 2016 has been a bit of a rough and tumble month. While there have been a pair of $30+ million openers, there have also been more than a fair share of disappointments. This weekend closes out the month with two new big budget releases in the form of Tim Burton's Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and Peter Berg's Deepwater Horizon, both hoping to make a case for their price tag while the long-delayed ensemble comedy Masterminds finally hits the...

How to Light a Charcoal Grill with a Blowtorch (My Favorite Way to Do It)

Building a strong, sturdy fire is one of those basic skills everyone should have. When I'm out camping, I like to challenge myself to carefully prepare a perfect stack of kindling, tinder, and fuel, and see if I can get my bonfire started with just one match. But at home, in the backyard, when I'm grilling, what I really want is a perfect bed of coals that I can confidently cook on, and fast. For years, my preferred method of starting a perfect grilling fire has been to use a blowtorch. Sounds easy, right? It is. Here's how I do it:

40 Things You Can Do in One Minute or Less that Will Make Your Life That Much Better

A few years ago, I was attending a conference, and, as I recall, not really listening to the keynote speaker. It was one of those trying to eat-lunch-and-try-to-meet-new-people-and-I-can-barely-hear-from-the-back-of-the-room sort of things.

But, in a moment of unexpected drop in the banquet room din, I caught something that sunk in. The speaker, musing on happiness, suggested that it's all those little tasks and the clutter that hang over our heads and keep joy from settling in. That knowing you have a million little tasks to do is more stressful than actually doing those tasks. And it's not the big work projects, the term papers, the spring deep cleaning that keep us down, but the little stuff that piles up and creates anxiety about when we'll get it all done. … Continue reading on ManMadeDIY.com

How To Dress Taller: 5 Easy Fashion Tips for Short Men

It ain’t easy being a short guy.

How to: Make a "Vintage Pull-Down Map" Style Frame for Your Posters and Artwork

I like a properly matted and framed piece of artwork as much as anyone, but sometimes, it can be a little overkill. First off, it's expensive, especially for large pieces, and secondly, it doesn't always fit the style of the art. Framing a poster or screenprint can often make it a space feel more like a movie or record execs office rather that a home filled with awesome art.

When I found this large vintage FBI target practice sheet, I loved the bold graphic design and aged colors. And I knew a classic frame would be way too expensive for something this size (that was originally considered to be consumable), and not the best fit, design-wise.

So, I took a cue from the classic pull-down maps of my elementary school classrooms, and created a simple way to hang it on the wall. Here's how to do it.    … Continue reading on ManMadeDIY.com
