Favorite Website

I know some of us actually manage to escape XVBT's gravitational pull, so for those of you that can get away, what are your favorite sites?

My favorites are pretty much all game programming sites. The programming sites are flipcode.com, igda.com, gamedev.net, and gamasutra.com. Other non-programming sites I visit are just my friends Xangas and other joke sites which I can't remember right now.

I myself have a few that I like to visit - www.ExtremeRT.com - I live in that arcade, and my friends' Xangas as well. Also, Google gets a lot of business from me. ;)

omg! You mean there are OTHER web sites too!? :p

I know! I was surprised too!

By no doubt :
How Stuff Works (www.howstuffworks.com)
Though Google is a requirement. I have began visiting ExtremeRT too,and have tried making a nice logo for it. Also, I visit all Harry Potter and LotR fan sites.

Helen, I am going to have to add that one to my list -- it's great!

Aside from this site, my other addictions are Worth1000 (http://www.worth1000.com) and DrunkenHyena's site (http://www.drunkenhyena.com).

Here (http://www.xtremevbtalk.com/showthread.php?t=61050) is mine and a few others. :)

your link in that thread to http://www-sci.lib.uci.edu/HSG/AATimeCalc.html is now a 404... :-(

google gives me some alternates, perhaps the same? http://www.martindalecenter.com/AATimeCalc.html

Yep, thats the one. :D

*Guess I haven't been to the original link in a little while.

James Randi Educational Foundation (and forums) (http://www.randi.org/)

James Randi was the guy who debunked the spoon bender, Uri Gellar.

As long as you stay out of the politics forum, there are some pretty bright people hanging out there.

Institute of Official Cheer (http://www.lileks.com/institute/)

Especially the Gallery of Regrettable Food (http://www.lileks.com/institute/gallery/index.html) and the Dorcus Collection (http://www.lileks.com/institute/dorcus/index.html)

Oh my. This (http://www.lileks.com/institute/gallery/misc/aaaahhh.html) is got to be one of the most disgustingly funny pictures I have ever seen. And that was before I'd scrolled to the comments! :eek: Thanks webbone!

Ew. I was just about to eat dinner... Thanks Helen. :-\

Can we get a "I'm about to be sick" smiley?

The amazing thing is all the pictures are REAL - mostly from cookbooks from the 50's and 60's - but the writer is amazing! I can never make it too many pages into the gallery without having to stop due to not being able to breathe from laughing so hard.

Well I'd definatelly have to go with User Friendly (http://www.userfriendly.org) for I'm one of the few in my neighborhood who gets pretty much every joke there.

A few of the ones already mentioned, plus:

Not sure if this link has been posted anywhere around here (couldn't find it, anyway), but it's a great laugh. A couple of my friends were extremely disappointed to find out it wasn't quite the real thing, but well worth a look anyway.

Sheesh. It appears that I need to get a hobby or something. Besides here, my most frequented sites are msdn.microsoft.com and google. I used to visit Bethesda's Morrowind (http://www.elderscrolls.com/index.php) site back when I had more free time.

Since this thread came back to life, thought I'd post a couple of faves:

Name that Candybar! (http://www.smm.org/sln/tf/c/crosssection/namethatbar.html)

The Museum of HP Calculators (VERY Informative and useful!) (http://www.hpmuseum.org/)


A museum... for airsick bags??! (http://www.airsicknessbags.com/)

I tell you mine, but my wife might find out :D

I know what you mean. My husband gets really annoyed with all the programming sites I visit too.
