By their links shall ye know them

As much as you can without revealing anything private or sensitive or incriminating, show us your most frequently used Favorites or Bookmarks or Hot Links or whatever you call the places you go on the web most often.

My homepage (out of habit mostly): Yahoo!

Then I check my email at a designated site

Then, daily (with SDMB being near the top):

Puzzability
Ecrostics
Yahoo! Crossword
USA TODAY Crossword
Daily Jigsaw Puzzle
IMDB
Channel 2 Nashville Weather (will start here if the weather’s iffy)
Nashville Tennessean
Titans Online
Auburn Message Board
Paul Finebaum Radio Network (SEC Sports Talk)
WMOT Radio (Jazz)
KJAZZ Radio (Jazz)
Local TV Listings

Then, at least once a week:

Fresh Air
Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me!
A Prairie Home Companion
Semi-Weekly Crostic Puzzles
Netflix

That’s about it for regularly hit sites. I probably have pushing 1,000 Favorites with no doubt maybe half of them dead or out-of-date. I delete them when I find they don’t work anymore and maybe try to replace them (if possible) with live links.

Oh, just checked that one–look in the archives; this is the end of a story line.

And of course the SDMB

:eek: :eek: :eek: You listen to WHAT?

Man, that crap will rot your brain. I got it on my truck radio once this January while passing through Birmingham. In one short 15 minute span I learned the following:
1)$aban is the second best coach ever, right behind Da’ Beah.
2)$aban won four National Championships in five years at L-S-Who, and two Super Bowls in two years with the Dolphins.
3)$aban has only lost two games in his entire coaching career and both of those were to Bammer.
4)Bammer will never lose another football game.
I suppose it went on and on, but I popped my Buddy Holly tape back into the cassette player.

Fortunately, you have an option. Due to the miracle of the internet, you can get an Auburn based radio sports talk show over your computer! Sportscallonline.com airs from 4 to 6 PM Monday through Friday. Enjoy, and War Eagle!

I do appreciate that! Hearing the callers to Finebaum gets my blood up enough that when it’s not football season I try to lock all that venom up for the Iron Bowl. Then, no matter how much sympathy I might work up for how Bama is getting trounced, I just think back to all the blather and realize “You have it coming.”

The only real reason I listen to the show is that Finebaum does manage from time to time to get interviews with some folks who aren’t out-and-out Bammers. That, plus listening to idiots like Shane and Jim from Tuscaloosa and (used to be) Phyllis from Mulga was at least as much fun as watching Leno and his man-on-the-street bit.

I only have a computer at work, so my homepage is Google and Favorites is filled with company-specific pages, Oracle pages, and links to other institutions for their financial system FAQs.

And one personal one so I don’t forget the cute item Kalhoun tipped me off to.

That’s almost sad. Back when I had a computer at work, I would make a point of keeping the same links and Favorites on the work machine that I had at home. I felt my machine had as much privacy as could be reasonably expected. Later on, when we all got on a LAN that had us sharing file space and such, I trimmed my Favorites down to just work-related or very non-specifically-mine things. However, I still spent a fair portion of my time on the web. It’s just that I’d go through Yahoo! to get places without setting a permanent Favorite for the purpose. They can’t keep determined people down!

Cut back on Internet usage? Pshaw!
