Top 10 Websites

[Oddysey]

OK, OK, this is a list of my favorite sites, not those I think you'd be interested in. Some of them are very dynamic, others only updated once a week, a month, or even longer. A few are reference sites, which I would expect not to update too often, but I use them religiously in my researches. And few of them have already been mentioned, so what if I'm not the first, I still like 'em.

There's no way I can do just 10 sites, so I broke the list down, as you'll see. I did limit myself to only 25 total, so give me a break, please. Since my interests are all over the map, you'll just have to realize that I have over 1900 bookmarks, :o so it's a bit difficult keeping track of my 'Net life. :P

If anybody has suggestions in any of these areas, please feel free to mention them here, or drop me a line on PM, your choice.

Everyday:
Kye-U's Proxo forum - trite to mention, but oh so true (not linked, you can guess why, right? )
Large Scale Model RailRoad forum - my second home on the 'Net, after this place
Neowin forums - very argumentive lot, entertaining to stir them up!
EHOWA - the premier no-holds-barred, take-no-prisoners blog site; check out their photochopping forum!
Shell Extension City - best way to find new utilities, very large database
Daily Rotation - RSS headline feed focused on computer industry news
Daily Whirl - like Daily Rotation (same source), but focused on legal news
Cool Site of the Day - usually pretty cool, but once in awhile there's a lamer, which is also entertaining
Rate My Kitten - come on, a guy needs a little non-pron fun in his life, eh?
Ernie the Attorney - probably the best legal news-digest/blog site I've come across

Once a week, or maybe not so often:
Quatloos - exposing scams both on the 'Net and off, very focused on the legal aspect
Snopes - get the lowdown on urban legends and hoaxes
Reverb Central - music site, deals mainly with instrumental music; think "surf music"
F150Online - saved me a bundle when I found out about a recall on my pick-'em-up, updates are spotty, but the forum is very active
Findlaw - hey, I told you I'm a legal researcher; here's where I usually start
Camp Chaos - probably the grand daddy of all flash-oriented humor sites, very satirical
Xteq Pro - I dare anyone to find a better tweaker

Some humor things, a few are updated often, some aren't:
* Operator From Hell - if this doesn't make you spit your coke back out your nose, then you aren't alive!
End of the Internet - much more tame, but I'm addicted to searching out and adding these to my archive
Tucker Max - very brash, claims to be able to get any women into bed; hilarious
The Best Webpage In The Universe - queer duck calls it like he sees it, amazingly on target most of the time
Nolo Jokes - even lawyers can laugh at themselves
DVD Rewind - a very good spoof page
Flame Warriors - large list of various email flamers, usually funny, can be instructive
Orgasmica - find out how the other half feels about sex and orgasms!

That's it, at least for now. A check on my logs shows that I'm regularly visiting between 125 and 150 sites a month. Out of the rest of my links, I visit as needed to check for updates, or for obscure references, etc. It's a good bet that a chunk of my bookmarks are outta date, but I don't feel like checking them all just now.

So, who's next?
