I’ve never had to worry too much about my father having a sense of humour or about offending him with presents, as he’s really just a big hippy at heart. So if you, like me, have a fun and easy-going papa with which to share the day then take a look at some of the stuff I’ve trawled the internet for, to make this Father’s Day a treat. If, however, you’re forever living in fear of offending or being secretly murdered in your sleep because you bought your dad a blow up doll with a conveniently located hole in the nether region one year, then it would probably be best for you to take a look at our other list of gadgets for Father’s Day 2009. Nothing says “you’re a fat arse” like this fantastic Chocolate Pizza made from all the scrumptious chocolate you could ever desire...

I was intrigued to read the strange story of Osel Hita Torres, the runaway lama. He was a Spanish boy who, as a toddler in the 1980s, was taken from his home to be brought up in an Indian monastery, surrounded by five thousand monks convinced he was a living god. Or something. It was anticipated that, in time, he would fulfil his destiny to by becoming spiritual head of a Tibetan Buddhist order, the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition, of whose leader he was recognised as being the reincarnation.It hasn't quite worked out according to plan. After departing the monastery at eighteen - supposedly by mutual consent, but we all know what that means - to pursue his studies in the West, he progressively cast off the trappings of Buddhahood. Today, interviewed by El...

We are almost at the end of the week here at geeky gadgets, we have seen lots of cool gadgets and gizmos on Geeky Gadgets this week. As usual I have seen so many cool new gadgets, gizmos and geeky gear, unfortunately I haven’t been able to cover every one of them, so here is our weekly round up of the coolest gadgets we missed this week.

Man, iHarmonix has been squeezing all the life they can out of the RockBand franchise. After a recent announcement of the Beatles version, the company is now teaming with MTV, Warner Brothers Interactive, to create Lego Rock Band. That’s right, someone wants to make version of Rock Band with Legos. All I have to say to that is: why not? I mean, Rock Band already allows you select characters to be the drummer, singer, and guitarist, so why not build them from a Lego minifig model? I have heard that players will play at “local venues, stadiums, and other fantasy locations”, but I say that players should be allowed to build their own stadiums from Lego bricks. Another contributing company to this game is TT Games, who have created a lot of successful Lego games based on...

Steam Powered Charger This iPod or mobile phone charger is perhaps the most unique I have ever come across. Rather then using a traditional wall socket, or solar panels this one uses a small steam engine to create power to charge the device. The Steam Powered Charger is attached to a Lego Technic Motor. The steam engine is a Jensen #75 that has the prime responsibility of getting the Lego motor to turn. A 5V regulator circuit is attached to this which is home to a female USB connector. All you simply do is attach your USB chargeable device to the USB connector and get the steam engine moving. You have to admit that this is one very unique way to charge your USB powered gadgets One last note. Check out the Lego man and his mini control centre. (More photos follow the video). Via:...

DID you know that: “Bin Laden ‘Plotting Attack Against West.’” Sky News has the scoop that the world’s most wanted man – the man who says he wants to destroy us all – is plotting an attack. Not planning. No. Plotting. In his head, possibly while watching EastEnders and letting his mind drift to thoughts of obliterating the Mini Mart and castrating Ian Beale. Reuters news agency quoted an unnamed senior US official as giving the warning. He said the terror chief and al Qaeda leaders are planning an attack on the US and its allies from a secret base in Pakistan. The news came shortly after President Obama announced plans to send an extra 4,000 US troops to train Afghan security forces. Did you see a link between a source telling of Bin Laden’s plotted attack and a troop...

Hat sits on the floor beside me as I write. She is scratching through a chest (painted green with thick rope handles) of Lego – it was her big brother’s. The sound, a soft, friendly clatter as she digs to find precisely the right piece, is achingly familiar. As is the shrapnel that finds its way across the floor and into my bare sole later. I watch her face and her fingers. She is absorbed. Architect of – she tells me – a sheriff’s office. And a jail. I can see cacti outside. A mustachioed Mexican and several hatless cowboys. Childhood tears past in a blur. The box of Lego anchors me briefly, reminds me of the Mum I used to be: hotly, hugely and often crossly in demand. For just a moment Hat is the tenuous link that straddles two parts of a job. . I read clever, funny,...

Cor, I was really fed up yesterday. Combination of lack of sleep, being at work when I don't want to be, and unwisely reading pissy idiots on the internet.I reckon I have about another 28 days to work, then my whole new life as house-husband begins. I had quite a good practice over the weekend as Ruth wasn't around much, so I spent a couple of hours down Lewisham centre discovering what a pain a two-child buggy is in a crowded shopping centre.But on the whole I enjoyed myself, it's kind of fun having a whole day to improvise what you're going to do with - I'm looking forward to sorting out different activities for the children and spending hours looking for bargains in the different supermarkets (the perpetually strange "Aldi" is currently my favourite - cheap own brand cereals and...

Barbarous Rituals - Documents from the Women's Liberation Movement Brand and Ross pioneer rape-talk radio « Irresponsibility "Nasty, small-minded misogyny doesn’t surprise me. That a man would write, in reference to the Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross’s BBC Radio 2 ‘prank’ phone call: “It is not as if [Georgina] Baille is some innocent convent girl. She admits she slept with Brand and she works as a ‘burlesque dancer’ in a group called Satanic Sluts. Yet she claims Brand’s jokes have damaged her public image and hurt her feelings. Oh please!” As if only ‘innocent convent girls’ have a right to not have their sex lives made the butt of crude jokes on national radio. As if by having sex with a man a woman consents to allow him to use that fact to publicly...

I like all this think-for-yourself stuff. Belfast City Council to begin construction of a skate park. Upside down Christmas trees. How modern. If I eat a brain will it make me smarter? This brain looks tasty. No Google, smilies are not good, but there is a pile of shit that will come in very handy. A giant symbol of peace. Google borked the internet. Seriously kids!? - What the hell is wrong with this generation? Man sued by eBay seller for leaving negative feedback, where it was deserved. Album covers in Lego. Some of these are really good. Eating too much will kill you. Play Ping Pong. As seen here....

A few thoughts on the incredibly limited interaction between architecture and contemporary literature, triggered by the occasion of David Foster Wallace's death. DFW is perhaps best known amongst those with only a casual relationship with his work as someone who turned the footnote into a meta digression, a literal subtext that could then occupy another space within the main narrative, a place for digressions, expansions, and diversions. His journalism, if one could call it that, was a particular favourite, dense explorations of the apparently trite or over-worked, extricating fresh meaning and inevitable absurdity from each situation. A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again is the stand-out essay on the relationship between place and space (originally published in Harper's as...

We seem to spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about how to define the contemporary aesthetic. Past posts have speculated that the type of work favoured by ffffound and its ilk is the dominant mode of modern design, featuring - but not limited to - the intersection of rough-edged printmaking derived textures, wandering lines and smudgy forms drawn from traditional illustration, the hard-edged glistening sheen of computer generated imagery and the patterns, lines and inherent beauty of raw geometry. This is a multi-disciplinary world where art direction, amateur photography, architecture, illustration, craft, cartoons and technology all fuse into one another, creating - dare we say it - a homogenous pop culture aimed at the attention deficient more than anything else. It's also a...

Sunday (ish… time to make Daddy catch up on those diaries he missed!):Well grant me a professorship with tenure and a pension if it isn't the long awaited return of a George Lucas classic that somehow doesn't QUITE live up to the hype or our memories!Yes, Professor Henry "Indiana" Jones is back in the really rather-too-long-to-type "…and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull". So grabbing my bullwhip and fedora, I open up the secret passage from the Thuggee temple into the back of the cinema to go watch it with my Daddies.History hangs heavy on this film, with a portrait of Mr Denholm and a photo of Mr Sean reminding us that even the FRANCHISE is now an historical artefact, first unearthed in the Eighties.And for the first half of the movie it all looks like it's being quite clever, with...

Fashionably Geek has brought a new take on what evolution is about - at least from the Lego perspective.

It will retail for $19.95 each, and makes a statement to everyone that you’re in love with Lego bricks.

Front Page Magazine follows up the story of Geert Wilders and the Jordanian attempt to extradite him.In a brazen attempt to stifle free speech in the West, a Jordanian court recently summoned twelve European citizens to answer criminal charges of blasphemy and inciting hatred.Among those sought by the court is Geert Wilders, the Dutch liberal politician who made the anti-Islamist film, Fitna. Released last March, the Dutch MP’s production caused an uproar in Islamic countries, since it equated Islam with violence. Now a Middle Eastern court would like to prosecute Wilders for the “crime.” (Ironically, a Dutch court dropped charges against him for inciting hatred against Muslims with his film the day before the Jordanian court issued its subpoena.)The Jordanian court’s move is only...

Tired and very happy after a lovely day at Interesting ‘08 - thought I’d try blogging it quickly this time - it’s that kind of a day. As I spent much of the day helping Russell to be slightly less worried, finding things for all the helpful people to do, filling up the water boiler and wondering about including audience participation in my slot I’m afraid I missed some of the startling, stimulating and assorted wonderful displays of interestingness. But… Roo kicked off beautifully with some great historical images from that geek classic - Lego Something about Horses and their blind spots. (Dave funkypancake picked up on “horse” later too while struggling against dead air) I next tuned in to Collyn saying how she was bored with reality and...

Here he is then...the Villain of the piece. The cause of rather a lot of misery. Here’s the man who will go down in history as the man who destroyed Stratford upon Avon and spent rather a lot of money doing it. The man who, probably quite sincerely has ‘a genuine desire to make the most of the town he admires’ but has gone about it in totally the wrong way.Les Topham, council leader, destroyer of trees and some might say all that is ever been wrong with those that ‘govern’ S-on-A. Arrogant (he describes himself as ‘Brave’) and Self-serving are just some of the epitaphs heaped on this man’s unfortunate head and all, in my opinion well deserved. Even the loss of some of his party members in recent local elections, elections I might add where the people for the first...

Cranmer has been alerted to a debate in the Scottish Parliament on a Sabbath issue unfolding on the Outer Hebrides. It is not quite worthy of a Chariots of Fire treatment, but certainly an increasingly rare witness by a group of Christians intent on challenging society’s inexorable erosion of Sunday’s special status.From the Jubilee Centre blog it appears that a girls' football team from Back, near Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis, reached their national final which is due to be played in Edinburgh on Sunday 25th May. But a number of parents have withdrawn their children, citing ‘religious observance on the isles’.This has caused Western Isles MSP, Alasdair Allan, to assert that ‘sports should be open to all, regardless of race or religion’, and so he has called on the...
