Web sites I love

I surf the web constantly. There is SO MUCH stuff out there that is interesting or funny or sick or bizarre, it’s really hard to curb the urge to go clicking around.  I know everyone has their favorites, but I thought I’d list some of mine.

  • dooce – this woman is hilarious. A former Mormon (smart girl), she lives in Utah and writes about her life.
  • coudal partners – these guys have tons of interesting stuff going on, not the least of which is their “Fresh Signals”.
  • clicked – Will at MSNBC lets us in on what he’s been surfing lately.
  • imdb – the definitive source for information about movies.
  • nataliedee – the definitive source for children’s-lit-inspired comics that will have you laughing your ass off.
  • waiter rant – I really like his writing style. Often poignant and always real.
  • make – the magazine for people who like to putter.
  • life hacker – all kinds of great advice on how to be more productive. Too bad you have to surf the web to find it, ’cause I think I’d be a lot more productive if I wasn’t on here all the time!
  • slacker manager – a blog about management and productivity, this guy has it pegged: Lazy = efficient.  At least, I’ve always said so.
  • gaping void – once you get past the hilarious cartoons on the backs of business cards, you realize that he has a lot to say about marketing and new media.
  • 43 folders – productivity, time management, stress reduction. Excellent advice to be found here.
  • cool hunting – just the coolest new stuff on the planet, is all.
  • problogger – new to blogging? trying to figure out how to get site traffic? what blogging software you should use? Go here.
  • escape from cubicle nation – this is what I’m currently attempting to do, so of course I love this woman.  You will, too.
  • not martha – a crafty woman with fun ideas to try your hand at. Makes me wish I lived in Seattle.
  • amazon – if you aren’t familiar with this yet, then I have nothing to say to you.
  • metacritic – this site is FANTASTIC for making sure you’re not going to waste money at the movie theater seeing a clunker.  They compile reviews from all over, and different reviewers get different ‘weights’, depending on their expertise.  Once compiled, the movie gets scored, and you know whether or not to see it.
  • the onion – satire at its best. 
  • shockwave – for when I’m bored.

What are your favorites?
