Building a better grill.
Some folks from Pentagram Design have invented a stylish, super-cool new grill called Fuego. You may have seen it on the Discovery Channel. Fuego is so sleek, you may not be able to approach it wearing flip-flops and cut-offs. But it probably makes a tasty burger.

I believe I can fly.
Via coolhunting.com -- imagine flying as far as 25 miles before opening your chute.
Originally developed for military use, the Gryphon by ESG helps paratroopers get under radar coverage. It's probably just a matter of time before a version of these wings make their way to your local skydiving enthusiasts.

The world’s first underwater sports car.
Dad always wanted one.
Australian company Subeo (by the way, what's with all these Australian companies coming up with the cool stuff?) has created a three-person recreational submersible with a depth range of 100 meters and a 74-hour life support capability.
As the website says: "Think it's a toy? Wrong!"

Wheelman-ing is not a crime.
This is the Wheelman. It's a motorized skateboard inspired by surf, skate and ski concepts. It get speeds of up to 16 - 19 mph. Originally invented in Australia, you can now buy one in the U.S.
You control the speed via a pneumatic ball held in your hand. Hey, it can't be any more complicated than surfing, right?

It’s the most wonderful time of the year.
Father's Day, of course. Right up there with Christmas on the Old Guy's calendar. What plans do you have for the old man? If we were to drop some hints, we might spend part of the day watching a Bruce Lee film or two with the family.

Father’s Day gift ideas.
This is easy. Buy dad some meat. It's the gift that keeps on grilling, from Omaha Steaks. Of course, we've seen a t-shirt that makes for an ideal accompaniment.
