My job isn’t one of the busiest, there is lots of down time. I recently have been dancing between [LoseIt.com](http://LoseIt.com) and here. But that’s not cutting it. Any suggestions?

[Tvtropes.com](http://Tvtropes.com) can be a lot of fun, but a little intimidating if you’re not used to it.

Sometimes at work I sneak onto Twitter, but again, I don’t know if you’re into such things.

[Fmylife.com](http://Fmylife.com) can be fun, although some of the situations on that site can be a little NSFW.

[aeonmagazine.com](http://aeonmagazine.com) has a lot of great articles on pretty much every subject under the sun. It’s my new “why isn’t everyone visiting this site?” site.

I just found this one: [http://www.digitalfutureinc.com/](http://www.digitalfutureinc.com/)  
And wow, it brings back to memory a smell. I think it was the ink of the typewriter.

[fark.com](http://fark.com) is the ultimate time waster.

In addition to skimming the SDMB, I skim the IMDb boards and laugh at the [conspiracy theorists](http://www.imdb.com/board/bd0000082/nest/217510737?p=1).
