Happy Birthday, Haiku Guy!

Garrison Keillor notes that today is the birthday of haiku master Kobayashi Issa. In tribute, here's my stab at the form:

Found stray dog last night
With puppy-dog eyes, Wife, kids
Begging to adopt.

Father's Day Gift Ideas for 40-Something Geek Dads

Two blog posts in a year - I'm on a roll! Today, a community service - in no particular order, ideas on what to get a guy that was somehow involved in procreation:

• A SudsBuddy Beer Cooler What dad doesn't like a cold beer? And with fewer bottles in cans coming into the house, you're really helping to save the environment by buying this.
• A Universal Remote To be honest, I know some moms that could benefit from one of these...
• Whisky Glass And if you want to be generous, a bottle of single-malt Scotch wouldn't be bad, either.
• Glow in the Dark Zombies and B-movie victims - sometimes you want to stage a George Romero movie on your desk.
• A BBQ Sword Because it's a sword. For barbecuing.
• A Battlestar Galactica Raptor Be the coolest geek in town with this in your driveway.
