There are no neckties in this gift list. Not even funny ones. But there are some other fun items that will make your dad chuckle, and
that he’ll likely use at least sometime between now and next Father’s
Day and maybe even longer. Here are 10 fun Father’s Day gifts for new
dads, old dads, geek dads, golfer dads, foodie dads, and even single
dads….
Life in Dubai, Abu Dhabi or any of the other United Arab Emirates can be very good indeed but the fun can come to a screeching halt should you bounce a check or miss a credit card payment. Non-payment of debt – any debt, any amount – is a criminal offense in the UAE and rather than face the music an astonishing number of Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche and other high-end car owners park their pricy rides at the airport and hop on an outbound jet, never to return.
I used to scrapbook—yes, I used to take the time to shape photos and
place them over decorative and themed backgrounds and then write
paragraphs of descriptions on each page. That was well before I had
children, when I had time to print pictures and when I had time to sit
and look at them. Since photography has gone digital, my hope has been
to compile photo books for each year’s worth of photos, but I’m seven
years behind schedule. And apparently not up to speed with a new form of
capturing life’s moments. Shapify allows you to create three
dimensional figurines of you and your family. Now you can turn yourself
into an actual 3D selfie.
Most of us that use taxi services have one core expectation – that we
will get to our intended destination just as fast as traffic allows,
while taking the most direct route possible. But if we’ve learned
anything by now, it’s that not everyone is quite so traditional.
Barker’s not just any dog; he belongs to Andy Storms, a Seattle
softgoods designer and outdoorsman, who loves to hike and camp with his
best pal. Barker’s a tough dog; he hikes trails with Andy and he can
get down and dirty with the best of them, but when night time comes, he likes to
be cuddly and warm at the bottom of Andy’s sleeping bag. Problem is
that while Barker stays warm, Andy’s feet freeze.
The Taiwanese company’s new video card, based on Nvidia’s latest GPU design, boasts sizable factory-overclocking and a large cooler. It also undergoes “server level” durability testing before arriving in your hands.
The annual “Chimelong 10,000 People’s Bikini” event at Guangzhou, China’s Chimelong Water Park involved thousands of bikini-clad girls assembling to form the shape of a leaping dolphin. The stunt’s stated porpoise, er, purpose was to raise awareness of environmental causes.
Pet companies have finally realized that the toys most dogs love make a
noise that’s not a squeak. It’s the crisp, crunchy, crackly sound of a
PET (as in Polyethylene terephthalate)
bottle, the kind that water, soda, and other beverages are generally
bottled in. Whether it’s a preferred sound or the feel of the crunch
that attracts a dog to a water bottle, I can’t say, but dogs love ’em. The question is do you want your dog chewing on a potentially harmful
bottle?
From swords into plowshares; from external fuel tanks into speedboats. USAF fighter jets jettisoned thousands of external fuel tanks over Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War, and a significant number have been re-purposed into some of the sleekest speedboats ever to bomb down a river!
We believe cat cafés were originally a Japanese concept;
at least the world press has given the Japanese credit for them.
According to reports, they are very popular in Tokyo, where a soul can
readily get a yen for cat cuddling in the anonymity of the city. So
too, the folks in New York City might want to get a little free love
during their coffee or tea breaks, but a tip may be required. Cat cafés will open in the U.S. this year, but the competition for the very first cat café is close…
