Great Geek Sites
In honor of hitting the 10k subscriber mark here at How-To Geek, I've decided to deviate from the normal how-to articles and write up a short list of the smaller geek sites I read the most frequently that you might not have heard of.
Lifehacker
My favorite site by far, Lifehacker has featured our articles on numerous occasions. (we know, you've heard of lifehacker, but we love Gina too much to leave it out)
ArsGeek
This is just a great all-around site for random geek news. An essential subscription for me.
Of Zen and Computing
Zen Bliss is one of the best writers I've come across… and his site reminds me of Starbucks Zen Tea somehow. He's got a knack for explaining things so that anybody can understand.
CodeJacked
Whoever this guy is, he comes up with some very unique tips.
WindVis
Nick is another great writer who has contributed a couple of articles here at How-To Geek. His site has articles mostly geared at beginners, but I've found a few gems there myself.
Shell Extension City
Bob at ShellCity features new freeware applications every day.
IntelliAdmin
Got some great tips on Windows and related topics.
Daily Cup of Tech
Another great geek site that covers a wide range of geek topics.
Nerdica
This site is just starting out, but judging from the quality of some of the stuff I've read so far, I've got high hopes that this will turn into something great.
tuxmachines
Their slogan reminds me of Fish from Ally McBeal… but they also find the best linux content.
Tweako
This is pretty much the best aggregator of how-to articles that I've found, covering almost every area.
Free Software Daily
This is a digg-style news site that focuses solely on open source software.
There's obviously tons of sites not included on the list, but these are the ones I actually read the most often.
Great links, I had heard of all but two. I'll subscribe to both of them.
Jake:
Your site's not so bad either… I just subscribed to it a few days ago, haven't read too much yet, but I'll drop a link to it here:

Thanks for the amazing compliment! Also, thanks for providing plenty of new subscriptions for my news reader.
@The Geek: I'm glad to hear it. I have been doing a lot more how-to's than I intended originally.
Thanks for linking to us HTG. Means a lot.
We've been up for just over a month and we are really cranking already and it's thanks to links like yours.
In the next few months we hope that we will start to build up a (digg-like) fsdaily effect so that we can bombard great sites like yours with traffic when our users promote one of your great articles to our home page.
All the best
Congrats for your 10.000 subscribers and thanks for the nice words:)
thank you foe sharing some link that i haven't explore.. may geek always be in you.
I've yet to see a geek site that is clean, uncluttered, and usable like this one.
Thanks for including us in your list.
We're always on the look out for new foss related stuff from your site to add to the fsdaily queue. So we can send some traffic back your way.
Cheers
