First off, kudos for wanting to get your boss something he would actually like instead of yet another meat and cheese basket from Hickory Farms or a cheap "World's Greatest Boss" mug. Giving your boss the perfect geek-friendly gift is sure to earn you brownie points, and the next time promotions come around, he'll remember you actually paid attention to his interests instead of giving him a kitty calendar like that annoying Suzy in Accounting.
Since your boss is up on all the latest gadgets, why not put those corporate buzzwords to the test and "think outside the box"? Sites like Think Geek, Geek.com, Gizmodo, and Boing Boing regularly post tons of great quirky tech accessories. Hit up any of these sites, and you'll be in your boss' inner circle in no time.
If he's a Star Wars fan, go with this nifty R2-D2 USB Hub. It actually chirps and bleeps! (No holographic Princess Leia though.) Or how about this amazing single-serving desk coffee maker? Your boss will never go un-caffeinated again. (And your coworkers will thank you.)
And, if nothing else, there are tons of geeky t-shirts out there, none of which feature adorable kitties. Okay, maybe Fuzz Aldrin.

Really? Why do you have to get your boss something for his birthday? If it's that important take a picture of his fabulous geek stuff and frame it. Then each year you can just give him a new picture. Really a picture says a thousand words and no one will ever be able to top your gift.
