This is a hodgepodge of fun/useful/weird things I've come across, covering a large area of topics. I've found that most people who are labeled as "nerds" have similar interests, so if one thing here interests you, the rest probably will, too.
I list all of my bookmarks on del.icio.us (see the "My Bookmarks" link on the sidebar). This is a hand-picked list from there, intended to be used as an overview of sites I'm interested in.
