What websites do you spend time on other than h2g2?
Some of my favorites are...
google.com --- best serch engine ever!
megatokyo.com ---very funny for manga loving nerds
theonion.com ---funny fake news stuff
wikipedia.com ---encyclopedia anyone can edit

Google and online dictionaries

I think we had this a short while ago but a couple of mine have changed a little since:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/

http://www.badscience.net/

http://www.pinknews.co.uk/news/index.php

http://www.weebls-stuff.com/

http://www.geocities.com/theboyroymondo/ (ahem)

and, of course, http://www.bbc.co.uk/

I don't spend much time on them but visit each one pretty much everyday. And come to think of it they haven't changed at all!

Yes, I forgot about the BBC homepage

what wrong with google and online encyclopedias

Nothing, it's only that everybody else seems to spend much time on a dozen of other websites.

I've been looking at this a bit of late (well, since the Turner painting was auctioned for shedloads of money). Click on the picture of the gallery and mooch about, click on a picture for more info. Really rather splendid.

http://www.artlex.com/

Great resource if you like art but don’t know much about it.


http://music.hyperreal.org/artists/brian_eno/

The site’s looking a bit old and tired, and it doesn’t get updated often enough - but it’s still the best online news source for all things Brian. Loads of good interviews and background info too.


http://www.indymedia.org.uk/

Alternative news source.


http://www.createdigitalmusic.com/

Fantastic music tech blog. Satisfies the in me.


http://www.souljazzrecords.co.uk/

One of my favourite record labels. Loads of great reissues and they’re starting to put out some interesting new stuff too.

Pure quality.

Actually, this is the third place I've posted that.

And the second time you posted it in this very thread

Ah, you say that, but actually they are different sites!

I find it quite interesting.

I have of late been finding this site to cause me much merriment...

This Guy, Gary Brolsma, is from LA, and in an internet messaging conversation decided to lip sync to the Romanian 'numma numma' song (You'll know it when you hear it) into his web cam to be funny. He was. It got distributed and now the guy is a legend. A true underground unintentional hit across the world wide web. The funniest unwanted celebrity since the Star Wars Kid. You need sound to even begin to appreciate the guys natural talents. No sound, dont bother. Sound, play it loud and enjoy.
