If none of the presents in my roundup of geeky gifts for dad fit your father, then consider giving an educational gift. Chances are your dad is hoarding some old-as-dirt technology and it's up to you, as someone who loves him, to update him and steer him into the future.

Indulge Dad With a Crave-Worthy Jack Spade Bag on Father's Day

GeekSugar — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 05:55:45 -0700

If I didn't have a ridiculous number of bags on my mind already, I might add this Jack Spade Waxwear Utility Bag ($425) to the list as well. Sure, it's made for men, but the luscious wax-woven (and waterproof) cotton in that beautiful green color is right up my alley.

It's perfect for dad, but totally acceptable to give to your brother, husband, uncle, or whoever you want to splurge for this Father's Day. The inner zippered compartment can hold a laptop and files for the busy guy on the go, and the two expandable outer pockets will have him finding a home for his phone, iPod, and keys. Ridiculously expensive? Sure. But totally crave-worthy? Oh yes, indeed.

A Father's Day Tribute

GeekSugar — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 07:00:51 -0700

In honor of Father's Day, I wanted to share a touching tribute from a son to his father. Fellow geek Peter Rojas, cofounder and editor-in-chief of Engadget, lost his father Federico Rojas suddenly before Father's Day last year.

His heartwarming story describes memorable moments when he was growing up, like when his dad would bring home the latest electronics, including an Atari 2600 when Peter was home sick from school after having his tonsils removed.

My father instilled me in his love for technology, but the most important things I learned from him have nothing to do with gadgets. Even though he loved gadgets and electronics, he never made them his life; they were just tools to make life easier or more enjoyable and were never a substitute for the friends, family, and patients that he always put first.

Peter's beautiful and memorable tribute to his father makes me grateful every day to have the amazing father I do. In honor of Frederico, who inspired Peter in all of his endeavors, tell your father today and every day just how much you love him and how much he means to you.

Be sure to visit Engadget for the rest of Peter's moving story about his father. To all the dads out there: Happy Father's Day.
