Cutting Edge: Last-Minute Father’s Day Gift Ideas
Golf Swing Video Recorder: This is perfect for the dad trying to improve his golf game. Simply mount the recorder to your golf bag, push, or golf cart and let the recorder capture your full body and your swing from six feet away. Play it back on the built-in screen, your TV, or computer. At $349.99 it’s a bit costly, but you'll be able to take credit for Dad's great game.
Father’s Day is just around the corner but you still have a couple days to figure out what to get dad. Usually I’d be in the can’t-get-dad-another-tie boat, too, but this year I lucked out and scored
a few Curtis Mayfield and James Brown vinyl records for the mister. However, if you’re still trying to figure out what to get the man of the house this year, check out these last-minute gift ideas.

Food Tour: What man doesn’t love a plate of delicious food? A few days ago I stumbled upon a Cheesesteak Tour in Philadelphia at Zagat.com.

If you’re not in the Philadelphia area, check out Zerve.com for other food tours around the country.more
