New Geeks on the Block / Re: echo Hello World!

Hmm... A difficult question. On the one hand "it's just a little rabbit", and on the other hand I know that is unwise to meddle in the affairs of dragons for I am crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

Since my supply of santified antiochian hand explosives is currently a touch low, I'd have have to say the dragon.

Anarchy / Best geek sites. FEED THE GEEK!
« on: January 02, 2009, 08:49:13 PM »
OK, so I must now confess a deep, dark secret. I'm totally hooked on geeky/nosehair clipper blogs and news sites. Love the stuff. As a matter of fact I wound up here while searching for new geek news sites to tap. Do you follow a particularly interesting site's reporting on all things tech? Know of an engrossing nosehair clipper blog? Just love a neat site that would appeal to your fellow urkel-ites? Post it here!

To get us started, here's some of my favourite geek news sites:

www.engadget.com (RSS feed: http://www.engadget.com/rss.xml )
-One of the best nosehair clipper blogs ever. Broad technical news.

www.lifehacker.com (RSS feed: http://lifehacker.com/index.xml )
-Specializes in "lifehacks" or ways of getting things done faster and better. Often posts neat win/mac/linux software you never hear of anywhere else.

www.macworld.com (RSS feed: http://rss.macworld.com/macworld/feeds/main )
-If Mac is your cup of tea, then this is one of the best news sites I know of. Software reviews and general mac news.

www.wired.com ( http://www.wired.com/rss/index.xml )
-Real-world news with a technological slant. This is how I keep up to date with what's going on in the meat-sphere without going mad from boredom. Has a liberal slant to some articles just FYI.

I could go on but that'll do for now.

}{'lo all!

Nickname is EQB, and I stumbled on this forum while searching for other geek-related isms. Some of the things I enjoy include hardware and software hacking (pre 1980's meaning, not "cracking". see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hack_(technology) ), alternative OSes, computer repair (esp. virus removal), electronic music, science fiction, and fantasy.

I also dabble in some light scripting/programming, graphic design, web design, writing fiction, etc. Been a while since I hit the whole forum scene (college+2 part-time jobs eat up a lot of time) but I look forward to getting back into it.
