It’s Thursday. Father’s Day is on Sunday. I have several Dads to buy for and I haven’t even begun shopping. I usually put a lot of thought into what I buy my mom for Mother’s Day. For some reason, I have a hard time finding gifts that Dad will actually appreciate. This year, I decided to appeal to the inner child of the geeky dads in my life. The best gifts are memorable experiences, right?
Rockets
Men love things that explode, launch into the air, or make loud noises. Something in their DNA makes them giddy at the site of destruction. Rockets are fun for boys of all ages. Not only will the men have fun putting them together and shooting them off, but it will give them an opportunity to complete a project with the kids.
Man Toys
Yep, I said it. If your man is truly a geek, there is definitely some sort of toy out there that will get them excited. Figurines, old school toys from their childhood, models, RC Cars, etc., will be a sure hit with your geeky dad. Actually, anything that you find on ThinkGeek.com would be perfectly acceptable.
Go on a Raid
If your geeky dad loves gaming, why not put aside some quality time and game with him? If you are not a gamer yourself, this is a huge sacrifice, and shows you truly care. Put on your first-person-shooter face and kill some enemies with him by your side. Or, level alongside them in their favorite MMORPG. Whatever game is their fancy, it doesn’t matter. Get a babysitter, order pizza, and let the good times roll.
Arduino Kit
Nothing says loving like an Arduino starter kit. The ultimate in geekiness, Arduino is a tool for making computers that can sense and control more of the physical world than your desktop computer. The open-source physical computing platform is based on a simple microcontroller board, and a includes a development environment for writing software for the board. What can dad make with it? Only your imagination limits you! From stop watches, to thermostats, alarms, bug zappers, and robots, your dad will be able to experiment and develop their own ideas.
Prepare a Feast
Every man loves to eat. I will go even as far to say every man loves to have someone cook specifically for them. It livens their egos and their bellies. Add a 
special flare to your meal by wearing a pretty apron and a dress. Give the allure that you are a domesticated diva from the 1950s, and you will have your geeky man salivating! What to cook? Steak and potatoes, of course. If they happen to a vegetarian geek, cook them a beautiful pasta dish. Not sure what to cook? Moms Who Think has some awesome recipes for you to discover.
Just for Him
Whatever you decide to give your geeky dad for Father’s Day, just remember one thing: appeal to their interests! Every man has different hobbies, but they all will enjoy feeling appreciated.
What "cloud" really means is using Internet services for file sharing, email, document sharing, etc. Rather than storing files on your local network, the files get stored back up on the remote server. The remote server is maintained by the cloud services company. Email has been used this way for years: you purchase email hosting on a monthly basis and never think about the server housing its contents. All of that server side storage is done remotely through an Internet connection. Cloud services are generally cheaper and the costs to implement and maintain are much lower than housing your own internal server.
As Mother’s Day approaches, it’s time to take a look at what a ‘geeky mom’ would love to receive on the momentous occasion. From gadgets to creative solutions, we’ve got a few suggestions for those struggling to find mom the perfect gift. 
It’s available on all platforms and its completely awesome. The game includes a few Spyro action figures, a portal of power, and the game software. By placing your figure on the portal the character is uploaded into the game. Each character is unique with its own powers and skills. All the information is stored on the figure itself and the figures are compatible across all platforms, a sweet mixture toys and video games. This is the must have game for kids in that age group. Its not the only one though. Mario 3d Land and Mario Kart will both be available on 3DS. The other big kids release is Disney Universe a fun exploration of Disney worlds and adventures with characters that progress. What I love about these games is they’re all playable by 2-4 players. 2 player limit on Spyro, but up to 4 on the others. 
with a built-in LED HD monitor. All you have to supply is the console, the game and electricity. Plug it in anywhere and you’re gaming in beautiful HD. If your husband is an Xbox 360 player I’d encourage any mom to check out the custom controllers available at Gorilla Games. You can design your own controller and we build it for you!
