A little nerd / hacker culture cruchndown time and lists!

Ok so time for a little Nerd culture and archaeological break down, and a question.
Five good nerd / hacker culture sites to visit now and again (that aren't slashdot and boingboing):

5 Nerdcore King ytcracker
4 Nerd Culture Blog Hipster Please
3 Beefy Nerdcore...when his blog is up.
2 Game Webcomic Penny-Arcade.
1 Hacking Expert 9unkz0r.com (Yeah I'm an ass, eat it)

As far the archeology(What? Crystal skull made the word hot, don't be a hater):
Pick up Little Brother by Cory Doctorow.
Buy an OpenBSD shirt.
Buy one of my shirts.
Buy a shirt from your favorite webcomic, I promise it helps.
Also purchase a multi-tool, just cause.

So the grand finale, the question is.....Should I start a linux noob blog starting from choosing a distro and going into basic commands, etc etc?

PS one that didn't make it but I love is this.

No technical post today.

I am sorry you guys I am a little under the weather today so that tech post I promised has been delayed. So I am sorry, but what you should do with your spare time is listen to some Ari Lesser and read a little Cory Doctorow.

Little Brother, get this in the hands of 13 year olds everywhere

Little Brother is a young adult novel written by Corey Doctorow. And your going to want to get it in the hands of every 13 year old you know. Give it to your Niece or Nephew or Child Or the neighbor kid. It's about young hackers who take on Homeland security to win back our freedom. Audio link of Cory reading a sample. The book isn't out yet, but if it is like the rest of his books it will probably be available for free on his site, when it is out.
