A simple adding computer that uses marbles.
This is a very clever machine that can add numbers in a way that is similar to how a computer actually does it. Computers uses binary instead of decimal. In decimal (or 'base 10') you carry to the left when you exceed 10. For example, when you calculate 25 + 7, you have to carry the extra 1- that is, add it to the 2- to make 32. The 3 is the number of 10s and the 2 is the number of 1s. In binary (or 'Base 2') you carry to the left whenever you exceed 1 instead of doing it whenever you exceed 10. So 1 + 1 = 10 in binary: the 1 is the number of 2s and the 0 is the number of 1s. Can you figure out what 10 + 11 is in binary?
Computers only use binary because each 'bit' (storage unit) has only two states, that can correspond to either 1 or 0. This marble computer is the same: each 'bit' can either hold a marble or not, so it can either represent a 1 (marble) or a 0 (no marble). The cool part if the way it carries a 1 to the left- check out the video!

The future: Now here!
When I was child, two things we were supposed to have in the future fascinated me: huge flat screen TVs and personal jet packs. Well, we have huge flat screen TVs (OK, I don't, but some people do- anyway, I'm holding out for the wall-size screen I was promised)....and now we have jetpacks too! There are two brands of jetpacks for sale; however, they cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and only fly for about 30 seconds. Not exactly all that I was hoping for...I wanted to fly to work every day.

One thousand year old Mickey Mouse.
The brooch that looks like Mickey Mouse (who was created in 1928) was found in Sweden and has been dated to 900 A.D., over a thousand years ago. Apparently it is actually supposed to be a lion. More info here.

Father's day
Happy Father’s Day to my dear Dad!
As you have loved me, so have I loved you,
Pleased to tell you, now that words are due,
Pleased to have this chance to make you glad.
Your years of love and sacrifice have had
For me the force that you would wish them to,
A wind that takes me home to harbors new,
The inner voice in clothes familiar clad.
How might I be myself, except I see
Each gesture in the mirror of your grace,
Remembered as it was when long ago,
‘Ere I knew why, I looked to you for love?
So am I of you inextricably,
Defined by trends not difficult to trace
As I grow into someone that I know,
Yet myself in ways that time will prove.
I made this poem for you dad I hope you like it. Okay, I'm sorry I didn't make it I took it from Here but it's the thought that counts and I'm early too (2 days early)!

FIFA U-20 World Cup Official Site
If you are like me you always wondered exactly what 'FIFA" stands for....they don't make it easy to find out, but it's 'Fédération Internationale de Football Association' (the federation was founded in France in 1904, hence the French). I don't blame them for not wanting to let us know because the name doesn't really seem to make much sense. Shouldn't it be 'Fédération Internationale des Associations de Football'? It seems to be some kind of bilingual atrocity; a mixture of French and English that makes no sense in either language or even in transliteration. No wonder they just call themselves 'FIFA' all the time.
Update: Oops, my mistake. I saw this Wikipedia article, which explains all. FIFA is not an international federation of football associations, as I assumed above, but an international federation of association football, which is what they call soccer. So the name is correct, even though it does sound weird in North America since we don't ever refer to soccer as association football.
