      What websites do you guys like to look at, watch, or read when you're bored? I'm just interested to see what websites everyone likes to go to around the country or even the world (if it's in english). I find myself reading the same things everyday...

          Youtube has an almost endless variety of old 78 rpm records
          Engrish.com
          Dilbert, Pearls for Swine and Frazz comics. Also, everything Krazy Kat -related
          I read some blogs, but they are in Finnish.

            And of course, no matter how curious you are, David, we won't confess everything here. ๐Ÿ˜†

            Joking aside, nowadays, when I do have a little time to browse around, I mainly read Hungarian sites (we've just had elections for instance) so it wouldn't be much interest for you. BTW I'm going to see what they are all lying again.

                No, you haven't. Google these totally unrelated words: 'cake' and 'farts'.

                    I like www.techdirt.com a lot.
                    And this little place called sketchucation.com. The people are lame but the software discussed there appears to have potential. ๐Ÿคฃ

                            I watched it with my gf too. We were ... surprised. Mind you, back in the day, I used to work at an adult movie store (ah ... the joys of having an art degree!), so I thought I'd seen it all. But nooo. ๐Ÿ˜„

                            You gotta give it to us, people, we're a imaginative bunch. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

                            But back to the topic. When bored, I like to browse through the Tate's collection: http://www.tate.org.uk/collection/

                            Fun, if it's your sort of thing. If not, there's YouTube. ๐Ÿ’š

                                  I find that when I've got free time I either watch online tutorials, play with SU or watch instant movies on Netflix (I love historical documentaries)

                                      I like architecture,art, and design, and love to see what has been going on both historically and currently. A couple of examples: http://www.oskaarchitects.com/Projects/101/Chicken-Point-Cabin#

                                        Well, this is something I've been browsing lately (I need it for my next degree):
                                        http://webu2.upmf-grenoble.fr/Haiti/Cours/Ak/index.htm

                                        It's the best resource of Roman Law (if anyone interested).

                                          I admire Diseno-Earle, the architects that write this blog, they also publish and freely distribute a really good design magazine.

                                          For technological geekery, I listen to linux outlaws podcasts. Its not just about linux, the presenters are really funny and spend quite a bit of time reviewing beer, music, movies etc.
