So. I am bored of the Internet… I find my world is very limited. The sites I routinely visit come down to this.

CNN
Yahoo
Mish
The Economist
BBC Sport
Piggington’s
TED (if I have half and hour to spare)
Craigslist
Youtube (for airplanes, rat rods, etc)

So what do you guys recommend?

You are missing the point. I do have a “day time” activity…

What I am asking is when it is 10:30 at night and you don’t want to watch the tele anymore… What do you purse on the web…

I am looking for interesting web sites… I do use youtube for the woodworking stuff and the like…

Watched french polishing, or shlacing, the other day…

Hmmm… Well 10:30 at night…you’re still awake. internet…ere’s a lot of things you can do…I know, because I have to stay up a lot working with waiting from folks/work from Bangalore…

*I read somewhere there is a porn website that pays you to evaluate porn….:)

*Join a strategy/game group.. I use to play mahjong on the internet with folks overseas… I kicked some of their butt, thank you very much.

*Search around websites and find “deals” and try to get as much shit for free as possible, then try to sell the shit on ebay…How else do I spot the $60 128GB SDD specials?

*Browse sdlookup/redfin/etc a look at house porn.

*Browse craigslist/autotrader/etc for car porn… I’m looking for a cheap Mazda Miata to turn into a track car.

*Get involved with trading on a foreign exchange…. I believe schwab recently has access foreign exch markets for reasonable prices.

*Start a blog and share what you know and give back to others who offered free information to you…I use to write how-to articles on some of the audi forums….I had a blog on how to hack a nexus Q when it first came out….

*Make a movie…Out of R/C’s…
This is just awesome in so many ways.

The greatest police chase…
