I’m bored! And I’ve noticed that I end up reading the same handful of sites. I need to expand my internet horizons! So what websites do you visit when you are bored? Quick fun sites are fine, but in-depth sites where I will learn something are even better. Any subject…just whatever sites you find fascinating. ---
