Shameless Self-Promotion: Are You Prepared for Father's Day?
A gentle nudge: If you're looking for a Dad's Day gift for a fella with school-age children, you can do worse than dave-o's book SNIP, BURN, SOLDER, SHRED: Seriously Geeky Stuff to Make with Your Kids. Fully certified dads have said stuff like:
and
and
(That last one's from Rob Malda, founder of Slashdot.org, and really nice cat.)
If you really want to stick it to The Man, you can always order directly from the publisher (you can also download a couple free sample projects at that link). You'll get the ebooks (including a Kindle version) *FREE*, and if you use the coupon code SHRED you'll save 35 percent.
Order soonishly from whoever and the book is sure to arrive in time for Father's Day.
Alternately, if your dad or hubby is into clockwork sex robots, maybe try this steampunk novella on Kindle--or the supercool, handmade print chapbook.
So, that's my pitch. Thank you, and have a marvelous morning! (My own morning is going to be spent soothing a baby will nice, large gentleman tear up the floor of my basement office in order to replace a collapsed sewer line so, please, have as marvelous a morning as possible. We need to bring up our average, folks!)
