What are your regular Internet haunts?

I thought it might be interesting to see where other Cellarites spend a bunch of their online time regularly (naturally besides the Cellar). I don't frequent as many sites as I used to because their quality has fallen off recently, and I thought this might be a good way to rejuvinate the bookmarks file. Here's my (now pretty short) list:

The James Lileks Bleat
A writer/columnist with a very interesting sense of humor. His site is full of cool vintage imagery and interesting writing. Also see the link to his Backfence newspaper aricle, also read-worthy.

Dave Barry
If you don't know who Dave Barry is, I don't know how to finish this sentence.

Slashdot
I rarely put on the hip-waders and trudge through the Slashdot comments anymore, but they're still a good source for tech news.

FARK.com
Best. News. Site. Ever.

Happy Tree Friends
Damn funny animated shorts. Not for the weak of stomach or PETA-inclined.

Yahoo! "Oddly Enough " news
Unusual news items. Often funny, occasionally striking.

Astronomy Picture of the Day
Everyone here should know this one.

...and that's pretty much it. I notice now that the Cellar is the only message board I bother posting to anymore, it's hard to find one worth the effort these days.

Anyone else?

http://www.fark.com for sometimes great, always interesting news.

http://www.theonion.com for decent humor

http://www.bbspot.com for tech humor

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/ for international news

http://www.nytimes.com for all the news that fits.

thanks xoxoxobruce for the animal rescue site. we just adopted a black lab last weekend. We lost and adopted Austrialian Shepard mix to leukemia recently and this lab was heading for the pound. He has a mild case of heart worms and would most likely be put down for that but he is perfectly curable and a wonderful addition to our family.
