I Am... Batman!
BoingBoing links to one of the coolest companies on the face of the earth.
Okay, at least they're one of the coolest companies on the face of the earth who advertises online. Because we all know that the real cool companies don't advertise. They don't have to.
But for those of us who don't happen to find ourselves on the super-secret mailing list of the Coolest of the Cool Companies, Creative Home Engineering is here to make all of our getting-to-the-Batcave dreams come true.
The company installs the hardware necessary to make your very own secret passage -- complete with awesomely cool door-activation-switch!
Unfortunately, the packages start around $10,000 (although DIYers can get kits for about $1,500). As my DIY skills are passable, but no means Bob-Villa-like, this means that it's going to be a little while until this junior faculty member will be able to afford the Shakespeare-with-Switch bust that leads to the Batpoles. Sigh.
Drool.

Um, hello?
When you live in a townhouse, any secret passageway installed behind a wall is going to be located inside your neighbor's house. Unless, of course, you're willing to give up that half bath under the staircase.
I thought not.
First you've got to get a mansion. Then we'll worry about where to put the bat polls.
