I’m having a down time at the office and I’ve exhausted all my usual suspects on the Web: SDMB, Salon, Television Without Pity, all the “Office” fan sites, the New Republic, the Nation, the Atlantic, the New Yorker, the Progressive, Harper’s, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, Roger Ebert. What else can I check out? What’s well-written? Engaging? Funny? Entertaining? Informative? I’m sick of blogs, by the way. And cartoons are too hard to read on a computer. And I’m at work, so porn is _right out_. ---

It will wipe out any last remnant of productivity you may have left in you, but damn, the [StumbleUpon](http://www.stumbleupon.com) extention/plugin is essential to kill time. You set your interests, you click the little stumble button, and you never know where the time went. I have found all of the above listed links at some time or another using it.
