Ask Pete: Bored on the Internets

Pete,
Would you suggest any great Web sites (other than your own) that I could spend my unlimited free time at, since I’ve so much time to waste now.

Signed,

One Bored Man

Dear Bored-and-pathetic,
Typically I would not recommend visiting “other” websites. Unfortunately for the world, I have done less writing lately than normal. This leads us to a situation where we need to find a suitable filler, although we all realize full well that anything I provide you will be completely inferior to the awe-inspiring PeteHoliday.com.

This question is also a little odd to me because of the fairly large list of links over on the right-hand side of the page:

Nevertheless… here are some of the sites on which I spend my time.

News Seives:

• Digg — Mainly technology news.
• Newsvine — All sorts of news and shit
• MetaFilter — Still not sure quite how to describe this.

Other Blogs:

• Fanhouse — All sorts of sports news. I’m a little biased.
• Dooce — Funny. Takes pretty pictures.
• Suburban Bliss — Writes a lot about her kids. Also funny.

Places to waste lots of time:

• Facebook — It’s like MySpace, except that it doesn’t suck.
• Flickr — You could spend hours upon hours looking at pictures of anything you want.
• Africam — I’ve never actually seen a real-life animal on the Africam, but I’m sure I will one day.
• Digg Games — Even if you don’t like techie-nerd stuff, this section of Digg has tons and tons of flash games.
• Onslaught — Lately this is the tower defense type game that I’ve been playing.

I’m sure there are more that I’m missing. Comments and additions welcome.
