With Father's Day coming up this Sunday, I have been searching for a card to send my dad via email. I tend to look for cards that are humorous; I want to make my dad laugh and enjoy his special day.

So I decided to try an old favorite of AppScout's, Someeecards, and found the most hilarious Father's Day cards ever. Click here to see options to choose from. You can also find cards for almost any other occasion, ranging from important and serious to hysterical.

All the e-cards on the site are free. Click on the one you want to send, and then fill in the recipient's email address and a custom message. The cards just might offer that perfect message of humor and appreciation you've been hunting for.

We heard that Pal Technology’s REEM-B would be “fully revealed in Q1 2008,” and while things seem to be running ever-so-slightly behind, we can’t gripe too much. The creature was recently shown off in Abu Dhabi, where onlookers swooned and secretly crushed on the totally macho being. Its creators h…

RepairPal, an online auto care and repair site, launched Thursday. The free site offers informed repair estimates by make, model, and year. It also features a directory of auto shops with 286,000 entries (including specialists and ratings), a searchable expert advice section with fee-based Q&A, and a MyCar tracker that lets you keep maintenance records online for each of your cars. The service can also send periodic e-mail reminders for maintenance specific to your vehicle.

The company said that the site's goal is to give consumers unbiased, formerly hard-to-get information about specific repairs so that they can pay the right prices, get only the correct repairs done, and save money while making their cars last as long as possible.

I had a chance to look at an early beta a few weeks ago when meeting with the CEO, David Sturtz. It's a pretty comprehensive site, and Sturtz and his team appear to really know their stuff. The company gears the site toward people looking to have repair work done for them. Do-it-yourselfers can still consult the site for info, but you won't find parts lists or anything. Also, the car database only goes back to 1990, so early Porsche 944 fans (like me) will have to stick to the forums for now. (Also, Sturtz owns a 944 Turbo himself; I'll have to stay on top of him with that request, since we'll both benefit.)
