I usually hang around del.icio.us, Digg and Slashdot. Sometimes the comments out there are real gems.

by djmarcel

This site is the greatest, BUT so far it is only by invitation. It will be open soon
Thousand of Karaoke songs to sing and you can add your singing and video. Lots of great singers here and lots of not so great. It's much fun! www.singsnap.com

by itpirate

www.ubergizmo.com is where I check to see what new gadgets and gizmos are coming out soon.

www.theregister.co.uk is where I keep up with technology news. And they have a very humorous/sarcastic slant on everything.

www.wetsand.com is where I get the surf report. Of course surfing is what I'd rather be doing but I live 50 miles from the beach so I only go out 1-2 times a week.

For tech news (after TR of course) I use
http://www.theregister.co.uk I like their humour as well
http://theinquirer.net

General news
http://news.bbc.co.uk

Other stuff
http://www.imdb.com/ Internet Movie Database, great to find stuff about films
http://www.tv.com/ If I want to find out who that actor is I've just seen on TV but can't put a name to, not as good now as it used to be when it was TVTome
http://howthingswork.com/ Love finding out about things
http://ebaumsworld.com/ I agree, is definitely the funniest site on the web
http://dsc.discovery.com/fansites/mythbusters/mythbusters.html My favourite TV program

As a long time rider of all makes of motorcycles I frequent all kinds of bike sites and forums.

I like to woot, fark, and b3ta like the next guy...but one site that I don't hear a lot about, that I find invaluable, is diggdot.us It's a mashup of digg, slashdot and del.icio.us. It's so good it's hard to keep up with the 200-300 stories per day.

I also really find benefit in treehugger.com.

Yes, it's Harry Potter all the time, but really, if you want to have an example of an awesome website, this is it. There are hidden things everywhere. For example, on the cell phone on the desk use the numbers to type MAGIC (62442) then hit the dial button, and you get extra content. There's even a door that has a do not disturb sign that occasionally opens, but only if you solve the puzzle.

by curt

Definitely FARK is way up on the list. My favorites include the HDI board on Ragingbull.com and the tech boards at www.flatheadpower.com/ . WWW.Nascar.com every Monday. E-bay is a daily visit for bargains. Overclockers.com/ is capable of eating up a few hours a week. Of course TR is a great site for frequesnt visits.

by cswearingen

I read a whole host of webcomics everyday to unwind. But my favorite diversionary site has got to be www.photoshopcontest.com.

Great site, great community, fun stuff. It may not have the absolute best photoshop work on the 'Net but it does have some good stuff (and occasionally some damn good stuff). It definitely has the best community of all the photoshopping sites (yes Adobe I used the term, bite me).

by ibanezoo

basically determines if i go surf or go to work... heh not really...I'd be fired. But I do use surfline alot. ctlaltdel-online.com, rcgroups.com, bbspot.com, geekswithguns.com, newegg.com, cdw.com, google.com, etc, etc, etc
