When you're bored...
-
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...
-
My usual collection is:
bbc news
digg
twitter
ukclimbing
indigo forum
cgtalk -
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.Anssi

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

I've seen them all anyways...

No, you haven't. Google these totally unrelated words: 'cake' and 'farts'.
A mate of mine commented: 'It's quite surprising we're the dominant species, if you think about it.'

Here are a couple good ones.

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.

What happened to the good old days of online porn?

They are over 'cause the wife/gf said so.

Absolutely

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.
You gotta give it to us, people, we're a imaginative bunch.
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.

I know what you are saying - except that my first degree was in archaeology and I started as a "shovel man" on a construction site.

http://www.fmylife.com/ and http://notalwaysright.com/ are good for a few hours of time wasting.
Also [url=http://www.mil-millington.com/:3f8b6luw]Things my girlfriend and I have argued about[/url:3f8b6luw]

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)
-
Keep 'em coming...

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#
http://www.artic.edu/magicofamerica/moa.html (click enter and then click on Manuscript Facsimile in the top menu bar)

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

You probably all know about digital urban. Good site, lots of SU/GE related stuff.
http://www.digitalurban.blogspot.com/All sorts of architecty design stuff and podcasts here http://www.planetizen.com/
http://archiblog.d-earle.com/
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.
