Here's a whole bunch of websites I visit from time to time that some of you might find interesting. They're listed in the same order they are in my Favorites menu, which is a combination of alphabetical and chronological. Also note that this is easily in the top five for 'laziest ideas for blog posts ever'.
Abandonia - 'Abandonware' refers to computer programs (mainly games) which are no longer sold or even supported by their creator. As such, there's really no harm being done in third parties distributing them for free. It's a bit of a grey area, but it's a lot more legal than a lot of stuff out there, and Abandonia is an excellent resource with hundreds of old downloadable games - including many of those you'll remember from your youth.
Batters Box Baseball Blog - Yeah, I'm a Blue Jays fan, and the folks at Batters Box cover them better than anyone else. A lot of the statisical analysis stuff is way too in-depth for me, but most of the site is a great read for anyone interested in baseball.
Fark - This one shouldn't need any introduction for most of you. Fark started off as a website to post offbeat news stories found in the far corners of Internet news, and has evolved over time to now include real news as well.
IDGet - IDGet is a nice little webcomic by Kevin Magpac. Not updated nearly as often as it once was, but still very well done.
Nationstates - Nationstates is an online simulator in which you, well, build your own country. A lot of people find it ridiculously boring - and compared to some of what's out there, it is - but I'm not yet one of them.
Last.fm - Probably another one you've heard of - but if you haven't, last.fm offers a downloadable program which will then keep track of all music you listen to on your computer (not counting radio station streams or anything along those lines), and keep it nicely organized on its website.
Legends of Classic Rock Blog - Jeff Woods is the host of Legends of Classic Rock, a radio program syndicated across Canada. He also writes a daily blog (mostly focusing on classic rock artists) which I enjoy reading.
There you go. Seven solid websites. I have some better (read: less lazy) ideas for posts, which I'll probably get to later in the week.
