The Diary of V on this site is great.

I have wasted a LOT of time on this one.
WWW.ISHOULDBEWORKING.COM

WWW.CUSTOMERSSUCK.COM
WWW.ALTAVISTA.COM

The Straight Dope (what a shocker)
The Boondocks (home of the world’s coolest comic strip)
The Hunger Site
The official (Japanese) Dragonball Z website, my current embarrassing obsession
A variety of newspaper columnists and newspapapers, including:
The New York Times
The AP Wire
Molly Ivins
The MoJo Wire
and I love Google

(Yes! I got the vB code right!)

My only dailies are here, of course, and AltaVista. Weekly, there’s also the comic strips The Dilbert Zone and Fox Trot

Another one that I find essential is Harvard University’s Astrophysical Data Service. I don’t use it often, but when I do, I don’t know what I’d do without it.

Hey, why is everybody looking at me like that… Surely, some of the rest of you occasionally use the Internet at work for, well, working, right?

Congradulations, zuma!
You’ve created a thread that to date has more links than any other in recent history. :slight_smile:

I do quite a bit of research for culinary school here on the web, so I couldn’t live without:

food.epicurious.com

for fun:
http://www.deananddeluca.com (to drool over new kitchen wares)
http://www.straightdope.com (of course)
http://www.kroq.com (website of my favorite radio station–they keep the “best of” the morning show, that I usually miss–it’s worth pulling up some of their stuff)

Haha… that wasn’t my intention, and as I said, others have posted this same subject before… but i’ve always found it a wonderful way to discover new links worthy of regular visits.

Here are some of mine that I can say:

www.analogx.com–Just to see what they come up with next.

Straight Dope, of course
The Drudge Report
OILNERGY
Dogpile
The Big Hub
The Fabulous Forums of Fathom
SamSpade

www.stiffs.com

http://us.imdb.com
http://www.straightdope.com

http://www.excite.com (just for the personalized info)

“If I were you, I’d run!”
“If you were me, you’d be good-looking!”

That was such a crappy movie…

Yeah, I’m afraid everybody else has gotten there first, picking out my daily sites like Dilbert, eBay, Snopes, The Onion (actually, that’s a weekly fave - only on Wednesdays!), and of course, the fountain of all that is true and good, the Straight Dope.

… but I also read Robotman and General Protection Fault (no GPF on Sundays, though) every day, and check Bartertown just in case there’s something I absolutely can’t live without.

Believe it or not, aol.com isn’t a bad place to go for news or stock quotes, plus, I can check my mail there when I’m away from home.
