Curious George: sites gone platinum
What sites do you check often that you wouldn't normally post to MoFi because they're probably known by half the Internet? I bet everyone has some infamous favourite that a few people here have never heard of and might appreciate.
I like Emotion Eric, Dooce and her husband Jon, the obvious Homestar Runner and Babble, which I think has been linked here long before.
-
/scratches head hmmm. Jeff Rense! Always good for a laugh.
-
thingsmygirlfriendandihavearguedabout Also I can't post to the blog cause it tells me bad password and then i get it to send me a new password and it says it did but then it didn't and then I can't login again and then i just go to the blog but i can't tell everyone!
-
Did you check your spam catcher for the password notification? Did you double-check that you used/checked the right email address? Did you stand on one foot, poke your tongue into the left corner of your mouth and recite a bawdy limerick at the same time while waiting?
-
videos.antville.org, for my dialy music video fix. cliptip.blogspot.com has some good stuff too, but isn't updated as often.
-
Sheez. That's videos.antville.org.
-
somethingawful.com
-
AnonymousLawyer.com Stories from the trenches, by a fictional hiring partner at a large law firm in a major city. If you work at a law firm, you know that guy's not the slightest bit fictional.
-
theweathernetwork.com *slinks away embarrassed*
-
allmusic.com
-
imdb.com, of course, and whosaliveandwhosdead.com
-
If you seek a new reason to be mad at Bush every weekday, there's nothing better nor more thorough than Froomkin. (Homunculus and petebest(s) try hard, but they're just monkeys...)
-
Monkeyfilter.com 'nuff said.
-
I like Overheard in the office.

Woods Lot.

Argh, don't take this the wrong way...do you have a life? weatherunderground.com
-
Life? onegoodmove.org, for clips of Jon Stewart/Colbert Report/Bill Moyers chuckles.
-
Poet Ron Silliman's Blog.
-
BlueHorse - I went outside once this week. Does that count?
-
Personally, i always thought that links to Wikipedia articles was the height of laziness.

Maud Newton Apartment Therapy Neat-o-rama Rebecca's Pocket Craftster Whip Up Bookslut Get Fuzzy (also on comics.com - Pearls Before Swine, etc.) Nemi Cat and Girl Megatokyo Shelterrific Japundit LanguageHat PepysDiary LibraryThing (most other "Isidore of Seville" sites are also worth visiting) Moleskinerie (yes, it's Cult of Moleskine, but there's also a lot of interesting stuff there about journaling in general) Nordinho (I have wanted to post about this, though it was kinda-sorta posted in a thread about a game, with a slightly different URL. It's a large site with a lot of teen bloggers and message boards. I ignore most of that - it's not my thing - and head to the online adventure game listings, ratings, and tips. Great place to discover games similar to Crimson Room.) Livejournal, MeFi, and BoingBoing too, of course, but I probably don't need to link those.

The Victorian Web The Metaverse is a place ye can get lost in, full of fascinating discoveries and byways. (This one has been the subject of threads in the past on MoFi, but none have really done justice to it.)
