What tdo you mean at work pretending to work I never pretend to work

Anyway whilst I''m multishirking at work I browse these (mainly UK sites)
http://www.gamerswithjobs.com - obviously enough
http://www.evilavatar.com - another great games site
http://www.itv-f1.com - Good F1 motorsport site
http://www.empireonline.co.uk - good cinema review and news page
http://www.apple.com/trailers/ - for all the latest trailers
http://www.theregister.co.uk - computer news from everywhere and the BOFH section is hilariously funny

These are pretty seminal sites, IMO:

http://www.google.com - Homepage, natch
http://news.bbc.co.uk - Definitely the most impartial and frequently updated news site on the web.
http://www.guardian.co.uk - Also terribly good.
http://www.ananova.com - decent online tabloid
http://www.somethingawful.com - extremely funny
http://www.bluesnews.com - frequently updated; pretty essential
http://www.plastic.com - excellent pop-culture news. Must read.
http://www.theonion.com - occasionally quite amusing.
http://www.infosync.no - great mobile / pda / hi-tech reviews and news
http://www.xbox-scene.com - Xbox technical news

EDIT: Forgot to add http://www.nme.com - best music reviews on the planet.

Here''s my list. The programming ones I hit from work, if I''m leisure browsing during the slow times I''ll connect to my computer at home and do that.

http://www.mumfordland.org - What can I say, some of my friends hit the board during the day
www.gamerswithjobs.com
www.evilavatar.com

http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/ - nice stuff, almost work related
http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/ - and more nice stuff

Oh yeah, my Homepage

www.google.com

about:blank is my home page, so I don''t think that really counts. Most of what I hit on a regular basis has already been covered, but...

msnbc.com
http://www.unitedmedia.com/comics/di...
http://www.pvponline.com
http://www.penny-arcade.com
http://www.somethingawful.com can''t forget that one
fark.com
bbspot.com
theinquirer.net and theregister.co.uk are both good british tech sites

http://www.boston.com
http://www.espn.com
http://www.puma.com (love the gear)
http://www.ign.com
http://www.gwj.com

And anything my buddy sends me during the day. He always has some good links. (Filthy Critic, Penny Arcade, etc.)

Also, the Yahoo top pics of the day are always good for some laughs or shock.

Well, I usually start with...

good ''ol Evil Avatar''s,
Gamers With Jobs has now become a regular stop on my endless cycle through my favorites,
Quarter to Three
Voodoo Extreme
Home Theatre Forum is usually my first stop once I''ve made my round through the gaming sites,
Amazon I usually have to stop in here at least once to see if I find anything new to add to my ""save for later"" list!

I visit a lot of sites during the day. I have no start page, so here goes:

Well I won''t rehash what has been said already, but I must say I am surprised to see my favorite time wasting missing from the lists.

http://www.fark.com Finds all the crazy and wierd news and articles from around the web in one easy to find page.

Actually, Koesj already mentioned that up there. I use Mozilla so I can keep all my extracurricular pages all tabbed up in one window. Every day it''s the same 5 in the same order:

http://mail.yahoo.com - so when one of you saps e-mails me, I can reply right away.

http://my.yahoo.com - I''m actually trying to switch to my.myway.com (no ad banners and 100x faster), but I''m a little worried they may go away since I don''t understand their business model.

http://www.slashdot.org - This is how I always seem to know a little about whatever is new in the tech world. It also helps me know what the overall geek opinion is about current issues.

http://www.gamerswithjobs.com - Move over bacon, here''s something meatier.

http://cbs.marketwatch.com - If I''m ever going to reach Gamer Retired from Job status, I need to stay in the know.

Other sites I''ll check out occasionally:
http://www.penny-arcade.com - Already mentioned above plenty of times.

http://www.bigempire.com/filthy - Filthy Critic is pretty much on the money with his reviews.

http://www.planetgamecube.com - Of course.

Move over bacon, here''s something meatier.

You know, we''ve been looking for a slogan!
My homepage should be pretty obvious so I''ll spare you the blatant self promotion:

For the site news and info I hit among a slew of others

www.bluesnews.com
www.evilavatar.com
www.ve3d.com
www.homelanfed.com
www.shacknews.com
www.slashdot.com
www.reuters.com

For my personal amusement

www.penny-arcade.com
And on mondays :
www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail.html (if you''ve never seen a Strong Bad e-mail hit that link now, and thank me later)
Then I go stare at the site stats for an hour or two, but you can''t have those links! So nyah!

- Elysium

That has to be the slowest double-click in the history of the Internet.

That''s why he only has nine posts. I think Certis stuck him in some kind of timewarp, so his life passes incredibly slow to us, while it seems completely normal to him. On the upside, he''ll live for 14,000 years!

That''s good i''ll have to use that one as an excuse for why i''m not getting any work done here

Blues...though less...Blues rocked back in the quake days...now well, he is a bit sloooow...

Just out of curiosity.. how is it majorly slower than the other US sites? It gets updated in the morning, usually before HomeLAN&Shack and while some news might be old, others aren''t and will show up at other sites later on.

Some has been repeated, but Im still gonna post it anyway
