Good Nerd Websites
 
Allright, I'll start by admitting there is a large self-interest in what comes from this. I need good nerd sites that I can surf at work (while I'm bored). If it's a nerd site, they won't care if I'm reading up on the latest kernel release or whatever. So... what are some good computer nerd sites you visit? Here's the couple I look at now...

News:
Slashdot
OSNews

Software (note: not individual software sites, but sites that keep track of many differnet programs):
Freshmeat
Gentoo Packages Site

Gear:
ThinkGeek

Any other good ones I'm completely missing out on? :)

Starship Dimensions is a good site you can waste on hour on. If you run it on IE, you can drag scale models of various objects from various sci-fi continuities (including Star Trek, Star Wars, Babylon 5, Robotech, Farscape, and various novels and video games). Lots of fun!

Ha ha, I checked it out. That's a neat site. I love stuff like that! Those Super Star Destroyers in Star Wars are pretty damn big. :)

Oh man - what a great thread this is. I like the starship thing as well and sent it to some of my friends who are of like mind. I will be checking back here for more suggestions.

Anything I could contribute was already here. Thanks so much to everyone though.

Tech IMO Is one site I frequent, lots of good information on there.

pook 05-13-2004 01:04 PM

It's kinda simple, but Lockergnome.com's got some good stuff. RSS feeds make it quick to weed out the newbie stuff.

KnifeMissile 05-13-2004 02:54 PM

There are those who are amused by Acts of Gord. It tells of the true and surprising antics of a video game store owner...
