Sites I have bookmarked for those times when I need to distract or hearten myself, such as days when, say, the whole world laughs at the American President for getting shoes lobbed at his head during a surprise visit to the country he invaded and destroyed.
- English Fail and Wordsplosion! – I don’t think you have to be an English major to find this kind of thing entertaining
- Instructables</a – because really, when you need to know How to Remove A Fishing Hook Using Fishing line, you want video. An upscale version of this is Video Jug.
- Gaping Void – Cartoons drawn on the back of business cards. This guy is talented! Yet settles for amusing me for free. Ain’t America great? (Actually, he has a day job — a really good one. He just manages to look like he goofs off all day. Neat trick, that.)
- Free Video Games Project
- The Open Directory Project – always good for wasting a few minutes … or hours.
What sites do you use for creative exploit or slothful recreation?

I read my comic sites. Like:
xkcd A comic with geek, language, and math humor. And The Onion.
For TV stuff, you can’t forget The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. You still get news, but with that comic twist that helps it go down easier.
Although when it gets really rough, like during the primaries & election, I take a break from reading my RSS feeds for a day or two.
