Sites I check every day

Here's a list of the sites I visit every day. There are others that I may like better, and check regularly, but they don't update every day.
Fark.com - I'm a farker.
MSN.com - There's always at least one headline on the front page that piques my interest.
Gizmodo - a weblog of gadgets
Dictionary.com (Word of the Day) - Word of the day
Wordsmith.com (A Word A Day) - these words are usually tougher than at dictionary.com, but there's a weekly theme, which is fun
Blogger - I've been blogging pretty regularly, lately. I need to buy a digital camera, though.
Google - for lots of reasons, but I use other search engines too. I like AltaVista for literal searches, Yahoo! for categorized.
Enbridge - it's my home page

Sites I visit weekly
Amazon - usually to get the info to update my website
Google Maps - This is new and not completely accurate yet, but the interface is much cooler than MapQuest or Yahoo! Maps (see here for a satellite view of ground zero)
Dilbert - I like to read a week's worth at one time

Some cool blogs I llike to check out:
Bad News Hughes, a Florida
New York Hack - A hot cabbie from New York City
Scobleizer - A Microsoft employee tells all
Pathetic Geek Stories - People send in their pathetic geek stories, and she makes them into a cartoon. Some of these are quite close to home, I mean, for geeks they might be.

Where I don't go at all:
Weather - I like to be surprised
Local news - who needs to know about the day's murders, abused children, and stuff like that?
pr0n - just don't do it
Stock - during the energy boom, I watched the stock daily. Now I look at it once a month. I still have some EP options at $70 (latest price of EP: $13)

Places I really should be going every day:
Slashdot - I should be keeping up with the technostuff
Wikipedia - Lots of great info here
