In the UK Father’s Day is the third Sunday in June. This means it’s time to get a wriggle on if you’re hoping to ship geeky gifts in from the States. [Tell me more] As usual, the monkeys over at Think Geek have a range of goodies that might tempt. These Ghostbuster Trap mugs are […]
The new way to get Audible onto the Amazon Fire TV
I’ve an Amazon Fire TV. I don’t mean one of the popular Amazon Fire TV Sticks that compete with Google’s Chromecast; I mean the full-fledged Amazon Fire TV.

The concept is dramatic and so is the texture […]

Geeky hand dyed yarn
