[I_am_John_Galt]

Really slow day here at work  :boring: ... what are some of your favourite websites (the bigger the time-waster the better!)?

Here's a few of mine:

www.telegraph.co.uk (International News)
www.instapundit.com (Current Events Blog)
www.globalsecurity.org (Military & Geopolitics news & info)
www.slashdot.org (Geek News)
www.Samizdata.net/blog/ (Political)
www.gizmodo.com (Geek stuff)
web.utanet.at/nkehrer/one.html (online NES games!!!)

And one deeply-disturbing one:

www.rotten.com - Not for the faint of heart!

My homepage is http://www.theglobeandmail.com -- it's good to open up IE and see current news, helps me stay informed.

 

[winchable]

www.google.ca
Get my news,
Search for things I want to get info on.

Jennifer Governments (Funny story, I've been hooked ever since someone posted it here a few months back.

www.dictionary.com
Always here, translating from Spanish normally.

The CIA worldfactbook.

www.dal.ca
My school website, it's got links for my e-mail and the library system on it.

Army.ca Normally the first one I open of course.

 

[Alex252]

Army.ca, Rmc.ca, Forces.ca are all good ones

 

[Scott]

www.firehall.com Who would've thunk it, right?

 

[Da_man]

www.collegehumor.com

 

[nakhiti]

If you want a good time waster check out stupidvideos.com   Some are actually funny. I have discovered that some of the videos that make it onto e-mails being circulated actually originate from this site. My faves are nationalgeographic.com and discovery.ca. I know....nerdy. There are some really cool pics on the national geographic site...like a bivouac site fastened to the side of a sheer wall where a couple of climbers camped out half way up. Scary!

http://watch.windsofchange.net/   - Excellent collection of editorials and opinion pieces

http://victorhanson.com/   - VDH, what more is there to say.

http://www.cfc.forces.gc.ca/spotnews_e.html - Best military new site online in my opinion

http://steynonline.com/ - Funny, topical and right wing political

http://www.littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/weblog.php   - A little too right wing , but a very active membership, many breaking articles

http://belmontclub.blogspot.com/   - wretchard posts some very intelligent commentary

 

[hiv]

http://www.bash.org - This site has me in hysterics at times
http://www.xvi.com - The rare time I have a weekend off
http://www.cdfreaks.com - For educational purposes...really!

http://www.betanews.com - Useful for finding new software updates

Lexi, I'll vouch for ebaumsworld.com , that site saved our sanity during basic flight training in Moose Jaw. The sound boards were classic.

Some of the ones I visit quite often are:

http://www.cfpilots.ca/  This is the pilot's forum, unfortunately you have to be a current or former CF pilot to get into the forum. There are a ton of cool pics on there though for those that are interested.
http://www.yankees.com/  I'm a Yankees fan, what can I say. Damn BoSox!
http://www.mapleleafs.com/home.ml  Yep, I'm a Leafs fan too.
http://www.gamespot.com/index.html?tag=gs_head_home  For when I'm feeling like a nerd and want to kill some Germans or start a crime empire (GTA)
and last one, http://www.lardlad.com/quotes.shtml because everybody needs to hear a few Homer quotes to make any day complete.

Cheers

I can't believe I forgot: http://www.baystreetbullies.com/ (mostly for Leafs fans, but fans of other, lesser, teams might find some of it, uh, interesting).  :threat:
