There are a few others, but they aren't even worth mentioning, I doubt anyone will visit all those sites anyways :P

So yeah, that takes another hour, the rest of the time I surf randomly. (usually off of digg.com)

So I spend way way way way way way to much time at work surfing the internet. Over the years I've spent at this office I have acquired a sort of routine to my internet browsing. A structure if you will, a method to the madness that all my strange links flow from all day to others that initiates conversations.

To start, there are my daily blogs...

Deadspin - this is my sports blog.
Kotaku - this is my gaming blog. (There are arguably better one's, but this is the one I use)
Gizmodo - my general technology blog...although lately it has bored me.
BoingBoing - as it claims, thus it is "a directory of wonderful things"
William Gibson's Blog - Author of books I enjoy...cyberpunk guy.
Dethroner - this blog started out strong, but has begun to lack a lot lately due to other side projects the author has taken up.
Uncrate - mostly expensive items I can't afford, but love to gawk at.
Neil Gaiman's Blog - another author I enjoy, his blog.
Photojunkie - a Gay Canadian Photographer's blog. It has also been lacking lately, I used to enjoy it a lot, but lately it has become less about photography.
LAist - random LA tidbits.
Stuck in Customs - This photographer travels the world for work and takes pictures, I am jealous.
Gridskipper - as the title says "The Urban Travel Guide"

Overheard in the Office - Hilarious.

These usually last me until around lunchtime, then I go to my webcomics for an after lunch treat.

The Wall Street Journal apparently JUST YESTERDAY, figured out that the internet has slang. Wow. [Link]

Preach on Ron Paul...

...thank you Patrick Leahy, for saying exactly what I have been thinking.

This is what I was telling you about Dvorak. [Link]

it shall be this monstrosity...with toppings of course. [Link]

Sailing the seas of LA county to find new islands sounds like a really cool idea. Once you find an island you can name it and claim it then defend against others. This would give a whole new meaning to road trips, not only seeing new places, but finding new islands. I really like the idea of merging the real world with the world of video games in a manner that makes people actually go outside. [Link]

There is also a slim chance of me winning free tickets. Anyways, let me know if any of you guys want to go, I should be available.
