Yes I know you can create an operating system in an hour, write a program capable of calculating pi and hack into a nuclear silo master control computer and cause the apocalypse but you can become even better by using these sites. This is not just your average website list.
Increase your intellectual dominance:
The Learn List

Can you use every tool on the learn list? If not; how will you ever design the perfect website to hypnotize a horde of internet users and build up an army to attack Microsoft with? Also remember W3schools for more web for world domination.
Programming Tutorials

How many programming languages have you mastered this week? Use this amazing site to master the few programming languages you don’t know yet.
Safari Books Online

Really good books! Instead of buying one or two books at a time buy a whole library for the same price.
Lecturefox

How about a free university lecture on a geeky subject like: Collective intelligence or electronics on plastic. You can find many subjects with hundreds of lectures in video audio or text. Lectures are from universities like MIT, Oxford and many more.
You already think like a geek, now look like one:
ThinkGeek

Every geek knows ThinkGeek but here are a few categories’ you need for your new improved super nerd/geek image:
- T-shirts for the internets best t-shirts that jocks don’t understand.
- Iron on patches for the nerd who likes his button shirt with a pocket to store pens and brain probes.
- Personal Area Network Microfleece Pullover with lots of space for more brain probes.
- Hoodies to hide your personal brain probe in use.
- And lastly the famous ThinkGeek 8-bit tie.
Design Loot

Visit them for a few really good nerd shirts.
Make money the nerd way:
Make money to buy all your geek gadgets.
Ideas!

Plant a few smart ideas in your over-sized brain for making money. Then use them to finance your plan of world domination.
Triond

Use your superior geek knowledge to create content and then get paid properly. Any content accepted; video, articles, pictures and more.
e-Monetized

Now you know to design the perfect site, but how do you use it to make money? eMonetized is your answer.
Now that you have the money; buy the gear:
J-box

Let’s face it; all the best gadgets and gear comes from Japan. Jbox is a store specializing in Japanese toys, figurines, Japanese pop culture items and more. Hello kitty vibrating shoulder massageranyone?
Dealextreme

This is my favorite gadget site! They are cheaper than dirt, offer better service than Santa and offer worldwide free shipping on all products. If the previous category didn’t work for you this is the site to use. Sometimes you get the same gadgets ThinkGeek offers but at a fraction of the price.
Think Geek

Once again, what geek or nerd can live without a ThinkGeek gadget or two?
A few I like:
- Prove you’re a real nerd by solving an Irregular IQ Cube
- Fight your geek friends the geek way with these
- Something to keep you company 2:30 in the morning when you’re programming the next great piece of p2p software: Glow Brick
Other sites geeks and nerds can’t go without:
Slashdot For all your daily nerd news.
Boing Boing Your original “directory of wonderful things”, a group blog.
Linux Questions Because nerds don’t like the evil of Microsoft.
Online Alarm Clock Never oversleep, you’ve got things to program and people to im.
Conclusion
There are millions of sites geeks and nerds could potentially like or use but I don’t know half of them. If you do on the other hand; feel free to comment and add them to this admittedly limited list.
Remember to take a break between your 12 hour programming or web surfing marathons.

I notice that in your list of Adobe programs Premiere is not listed.
great site, thanks

The Learn list is not a list of Adobe programs but rather a list of tools and scripting languages used for amazing web design. Adobe just happens to make a lot of great design tools.
