That means it&#8217;s time again for my list of holiday geek gift guides. This list was conceived many years ago to help with my own gift shopping for friends and family. Because of my interested in technology and gadgets (and general geekery), most of these lists fall into those categories, but there are a few that are useful for general gift giving as well. As usual, I&#8217;ll keep this list up to date as I encounter additional lists. If you know of any I may have misted, leave a comment and I&#8217;ll get it added.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/reviews.cnet.com\/holiday-gift-guide\/\">CNET 2013 Holiday Gift Guides<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.unclemark.org\/\">Uncle Mark 2013 Gift Guide and Almanac<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thinkgeek.com\/holiday2012\/\">ThinkGeek\u2019s 2013 Holiday Gift Center<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Wired Wish Lists 2013\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wired.com\/gadgetlab\/2013\/11\/wl2112getsmart\/\">The Best Holiday Gifts for Embiggening Your Brain<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wired.com\/gadgetlab\/2013\/11\/wl2112thinkingahead\/\">Gifts That Make the World More Livable<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wired.com\/gadgetlab\/2013\/11\/wl2112health\/\">Gifts for Keeping You Fit, Aware, and Alive<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wired.com\/gadgetlab\/2013\/11\/wl2112explore\/\">19 Gifts to Help Outdoor Explorers Go Find Themselves<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ilounge.com\/index.php\/news\/comments\/download-now-ilounges-2014-ipad-iphone-ipod-buyers-guide\">ilounge 2014 iPhone + iPod Buyers Guide<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2013\/11\/11\/holiday-gift-guide-2013\/\">Engadget\u2019s Holiday Gift Guide 2013<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/techcrunch.com\/tag\/gift-guide-2013\/\">TechCrunch 2013 Gift Guide<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pcmag.com\/holiday-gift-guide\">PC Magazine 2013 Holiday Gift Ideas &amp; Guide<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/holiday-gift-guide\/\">Digital Trends 2013 Holiday Gift Guide<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Ain&#8217;t it Cool News: Quint\u2019s 2013 Holiday Gift Guide\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.aintitcool.com\/node\/65230\">Part 1!
