10 Geeky Websites: Where Real Geeks Gather

Learn how to turn your analog watch into a pong video game or take the “Geek Test” to test your geekiness. Geek humor and gadget hacks that will intrigue even non geeks.

Geeks are usually very smart people that are heavily involved in computers, science and technology, but geeks are also very complex individuals with a broad range of unusual interests. Non-geeks can learn a lot from the things that geeks are involved in, because after all, it was ubergeeks (really smart techies) that invented the modern-day computers and software that the world relies on everyday.

  1. Geek Of The Day



    Stop stressing and take your daily dose of geek humor and you’ll probably feel better. Geek jokes, stories and pictures can be offensive to some sensitive people. So far, this site has been fun and interesting to visit.
  2. Hack A Day



    If you like tinkering with electronics and technology, then this site offers some very interesting information about modifying home electronics, video game consoles and much more, using simple hacks and techniques.
  3. Hacked Gadgets



    Here’s another awesome gadget idea website. Learn about a remote control spy car or play with cornstarch and maybe if there is enough time left, then race your “ShakerRacer BlueTooth RC Cell Phone Car” around. Cool little gadgets that you can build.
  4. Brainy Quote



    Do you blog or routinely make rounds in your favorite forums? This website offers a vast quantity of famous quotes once spoken by world leaders, artists, writers, business leaders, scientists and a lot of other categories. Need to find that perfect quote, and then I would visit here first.
  5. E-Skeletons



    According to the website “The eSkeletons Project website is devoted to the study of human and primate comparative anatomy.” This site makes learning about bones and tissues fun. Using a unique set of digitized 2-D and 3-D full color animations visitors can get a virtual look inside the human and primate skeletons.
  6. Chemical Elements



    Raise you hand if you remember the Periodic Table, because I sure didn't. This is one cool and confusing website even for a geek like me. Lookup the element or metal that you desire and presto, pops out the info with charts and graphs and everything. This site would be useful for students.
  7. Coffee Geek



    Starbuck's is the epicenter for afternoon geek gatherings all over the world and because of this love affair with the rich, full body bean and sipping coffee while chatting computers has converted some individuals into coffee geeks. For people who really love to brew their own pot or just interested in learning about coffee brews, then this site will tease the taste buds. Read reviews, flip through a how-to guide or share your opinions about coffee and/or the culture with other members.
  8. Geekologie



    If cool futurist gadgets are your thing, then this website delivers the goods. Whether it is flying drones or plastic cars, Geekologie is a major geek site that you'll want to bookmark.
  9. Board Game Geek



    Not all geeks are workaholics and BoardGameGeek proves that geeks love playing board games. This website offers the biggest and most comprehensive database of board games, card games and print n' play games online. Members actively review games that they are playing or have played and shares ideas with the rest of the community. Anything about games that person needs to know, then BoardGameGeek is the best place to find the information.
  10. FixYa



    “FixYa provides free tech support and technical help for gadgets, electronic equipment and consumer products” and they store manuals and guides for over 500,000 products. FixYa may be able to save a person both time and money through teaching them how-to do the job themselves. There is an optional membership upgrade that has some costs associated with it, but it is only optional.

Bonus Site - Just For Fun: Innergeek Test



Ok, have you ever wondered, just how geeky you really are? You can stop wondering and take the Geek Test and see what you score. The test is pretty straightforward that is separated into several categories and then, you just select in each category what statement(s) describes you best. Once finished the test, then click “Rank My Geekiness” and get the results instantly. (Please note, that this is not a scientific test and is only a geeky toy).

Anybody who self-describes as a geek these days is a sad wannabe. Nerds is where it's at. Do keep up.

I have had the opportunity to use these services and found them to be incomplete. I would rather use a service that alerts me to product updates and provides me the tips on how to enhance the products I own. Product Blog
