Everyday I post a few of my favorite nerd links on PNN, but they’re on a back page and my hit counter tells me that no one reads them. Maybe you just don’t care and I’m wasting my time. Or maybe, just maybe, you do care and you just don’t want to hit that little Geek button in the top left corner. Either way, I figured I’d start bringing them to you right here.
