Today, we celebrate “Superman Day”. Why exactly? well, Superman Day was established as a yearly event by DC on June 12, 2013 two days before the release of the feature film Man of Steel in which Henry Cavell played the part of Superman. How to best celebrate the day is totally subjective. You could watch Superman movies or TV shows. However you wish to celebrate, here are a few Fun Facts about Superman

I realized that my home has a security system that is accessible on my phone, as well as my thermostat and my garage door. Now, my new washing machine is smart and can connect to wifi. There’s an app. As much as I love tech and apps and notifications that make life simpler, I’ve not turned on this feature. It’s kinda cool and all to have all of that information at my fingetips, but I still remain “old school”, and prefer to ignore my laundry at my old pace. Now, if the tech gets to the point of actually putting my wash in the dryer, then folding it all when finished, sign me up!
