Do you agree? PCMag.com Did they leave anything off of the list? what are your thoughts? Also, plenty of good Holiday gift ideas on the list for your favorite Geek!

Xtreme Geek Store

Wow, they are so Geeky they even left the "E" out of "Extreme". www.x-tremegeek.com All spelling jokes aside. This store seems to be reasonably price and have some of the most geeky items out there. Check the following out for example:

Darth Vader Lamp/ Alarm Clock

Recycled LED Motherboard Christmas Tree

Flashing Simulated Alarm Light

Wooden Beer Mug Puzzle

If variety was the spice of life, this site would be considered Zesty!

Woot.com

Get it while it lasts! Woot® : One Day, One Deal™ A deal-a-day site for all, it features daily t-shirt, kids, wine, and random product deals. Woot!

Oh, let's not forget about Woot-offs! What is that? That is a day when they take a number of limited time offers and put them on the site for people to grab up while they can. When they're out of one product, they move on to the next.

Here's a Woot-off secret... Follow Woot on Twitter and they will send you tweets with the next item as it comes up.

So... what have I gotten from woot? A couple of T-Shirts for $10-15 (After the daily offer, the price goes up $5 on shirt) and inexpensive MP3 players for the kids. By inexpensive, I mean $15, and yes, they work just fine still!

There is also a Woot extension for Chrome (and most likely a plugin for Firefox) to check out all the offers without going to the site.

Check it out!

Computer help of all sorts

Plenty of good advice here for things from OS solutions to games and tricks on computers. How-To Geek One thing I found was a great explanation of how BitTorrents work. Here's a link to the article. Disclaimer: Remember like any tool like BitTorrents, there are good and bad uses of the technology. Please be good.

There is also a decent start to a tech help wiki.

Check it out.

For all things Internet...

they'll have something here on it. Mashable – The Social Media Guide. Their big thing is social media trending, but there is a wealth of Internet, web development, video, tech and entertainment reporting here.

I tend to follow the Facebook, Buzz, and Twitter announcements and developments.

Here is a nice web-surfing article on 404 errors. They're pretty funny: 404 errors

Here's one on Geeky Wedding Gadgets.

How to Pick an Android Smartphone

Wow, it actually works. Gizmodo If you follow the diagram it led me to the Droid X, which is what I had ordered. Good news.

Well, the rest of the site is interesting as well. It is sponsored by Canon (the camera makers), and features a variety of reviews and quirky tech stuff like Running iPhone Apps on a TV or how to get cats to stay off your Roomba. Plenty of other fun and informative tech stuff there too!

Engadget News and Reviews

Techies can get their mobile and HD fix here. Engadget This site finally helped me decide what phone I wanted to get when I upgraded finally to a smartphone. My wife loves her iPhone 4, but my company is a Verizon account holder, so I had to look at their lineup.

I've used other people's Blackberry phones and never really seemed to like them. That, and I've been interested int he Android OS. So, I started looking at the Droid and HTC phones.

A co-worker has the HTC Incredible, but based on the info from Verizon, the Droid 2 and Droid X looked like better phones.

So I ended up on Engadget and found the two following reviews:
Droid 2 Review
Droid X

I guess what finally did it for me was the web browser and camera features. So, the win goes to Droid X for my next phone.

The site also has a lot of other tech items. Not too bad for an AOL product. It also showed me that the new Windows phones lack the multitasking capabilities that I've been looking for.

Have a good read.

Geeks will love this!!

Info here for PC and Game enthusiast. Tech Olive So, I was drawn to this site by a feed on a college paper's website. There is plenty to look at with new and information and some things I have not heard elsewhere.It is good, clean information that is up to date.

First thing that caught my eye on the site was the Epic Video of the week which I am embedding here:

Rocket Theme

Got Joomla, Drupal or Wordpress? Then you must know about: RocketTheme Joomla Templates. RocketTheme is one of the best template sites I know of. The templates have been easy to install and easy to use.

WARNING: This is not a free site! Yes, there are some costs involved, but if you need to put something together with a quick turn around modifying one of their templates works out well. Check it out! The demo I linked to was for Joomla, but I know all of you are smart enough to find the others if you need to. :)

Society for Geek Advancement

Join the Movement! http://geekadvancement.com/ Are you a geek? Be the best geek you can be then! I came across the video on this post on YouTube and took a look into it. It's really about geeks giving back. I'm not sure where all the funds go that are raised (some to books in developing nations. I cannot vouch that 99% of it is going to good or admin fees, but Room to Read appears to be a legit charity. Anyways, check out the video. If you can name 5 of the people there before they introduce themselves, you are surely a geek.
