Various online newspapers (_AlterNet_, _Die FAZ_, to name two of my favorites) and comics (_Sluggy Freelance_, _MegaTokyo_, _Nukees_, etc.), a great number of sites dealing with academic and personal interests of mine (a whole bunch of online grammars and geeky science sites). A few sites about bands I like, as long as they’re updated regularly, so I can get news on them. ---
