If its for geeks, your design won't matter, content will matter. Unless you plan on covering news about design, in which case you will get feedback from designers :)

What will differentiate you from other web/geek news sources? Maybe your name can be discovered in figuring that out.

Some names:

* GET News

* The /index

* Blinking Lights (looked at my router - there's always something being transmitted)

Try writing 30 days of content first before doing it, circulate it to friends that would be interested. Writing daily content will take a lot of work.
