The father of the father of Engadget
The father of the father of Engadget - Peter Rojas eulogizes his father, the man who inspired his passion for gadgets and technology. A heartfelt, moving, piece of writing. The paragraph that struck me most:
What always amazed me about him was how multifaceted he was. He was an intellectually curious physician living in a small town who had traveled the world, read at least a book a week up until he died, could continually kick my ass in Scrabble even though he didn’t learn English until he was 23, and knew practically everything there was to know about classical music, Spanish wines, and French cinema. All I wanted to be when I grew up was as smart as my dad.
