Suggest cool websites that are safe for work

Your Boss Is Watching

But if it's free and clear, PopCap Games - Free Online Games used to help me get through the day.

If you just want to read, Daily Kos: State of the Nation is great.

Oh, I just remembered that both Hulu.com and Fancast.com are lovely because they have TV videos for free (and legally). They both have about the same content, though. Occasionally, one loads faster than the other.

I am addicted to thenest.com and etsy. I don't know what I would do if work blocked them!

Walk Score - Helping homebuyers, renters, and real estate agents find houses and apartments in great neighborhoods. --- Type in your home address, and it tells you how 'walkable' your location is. for stuff like Libraries, pharmacy's, grocery stores, cafes, restaurants, gyms, etc.

It isn't 100 percent accurate (some places not listed, some places that're listed are no longer there.)

I scored 48 out of 100. Which is a little lower than I thought it'd be, but I am really happy with the area. Only thing missing, that would be really awesome, is a major grocery store <1.5 km away.

The last place I lived at, scored 7 out of 100... So yeah I love the new place hehe.

Well I beat your old place.

I just went to the site and my home scored a 3.

On a scale of 1-100 with 100 the best you can not get much worse than a 3.

I can see why you say free rice is adictive.
I agree that it is eductional. I got up to 41 then dropped back to 38-39.
I kept going till i got 1000 grains of rice.
It looks like a good way to help others and have fun too.

I love Etsy! But I'm trying to cut back because too much surfing there generally leads to some spending spree on my part.

I usually visit these every day.

SavageChickens.com
Etsy.com
Fark.com
Woot.com
Tanga.com
Yugster.com
Pandora.com


I love to go on Etsy and just window shop.

ShirtsOfBamboo.com is a local business here in FL that sells bamboo clothing. I love them. If you ever come to St Pete, you should try and stop there.

I can't believe nobody's mentioned it yet, but I love the Zen Habits blog - can't beat it for quality reading.
I'm also addicted to following Steve Pavlina's 30 day trial of Raw Foodism

The other thing I do is I subscribe to a lot of fun stuff (including dilbert) and lots of topical stuff via RSS, then if I've got google reader open I could equally well be updating myself for work as catching up on the goss... Well, to be truthful most of it's educational and research in my case, but dilbert is a pleasant exception.

Not surprisingly, our location scored a 0. I live in a very remote location, and while it can stink to be so far from some things, the solitude is priceless.

The closest thing was a park at 1.73 miles, but everything else is between about 6-15 miles.

My place scored a 43 but Walk Score didn't take into account that some roads don't have sidewalks. I also can't imagine walking 3.44 miles just to get to the nearest movie theater.
