Other web sites I like:
Of course everyone who has a web site has to have a links page so here's mine. These are sites either that I'm in the habit of visiting often or that I find useful.
Types: All News Blogs Books Columns Comics Gay Tech ReferenceVisited: All Daily Weekly Monthly Quarterly Infrequently Other
News
These are the sites I visit to learn about current events. Many of these sites also have good feature articles and commentaries.
Dayton City Paper: Dayton's lucky enough to have an independent weekly newspaper, and this is it. The layout of the site is a bit weird, but you can read everything since they went online (unlike the Dayton Daily News).
The Morning News: A New York-based online news magazine
The Raw Story: If you're a Republican who can't stand the New York Times or NPR for being too liberal, don't even bother to look at this site; try lucianne.com instead.
Blogs
What counts as a blog? Perhaps self-identification is all that matters. At any rate, these are the blogs I find entertaining or interesting.
Blog of a Bookslut: Interesting bits about books, authors and also current events.
Dallas' Journal: His complaints while he was in Europe were amusing
How was your day, Dan?: I watched Dan Renzi when he was the gay guy on Real World Miami, and I came across his site after he was busted for masturbating in an adult theater in Kansas City. His site's worth visiting once in a while.
This Modern World: This is the blog of Tom Tomorrow, the creator of the comic strip of the same name (which you can see on Mondays at Salon.)
Columns
These columns are on various topics but worth reading.
Deb Price: Views from an openly lesbian columnist (scroll down the page to find her)
Miss Manners: I just love Judith Martin's sense of humor. You can also find her column at The Buffalo News, the Chicago Tribune and The San Diego Union-Tribune, in case you need a new fix and the Post doesn't have the latest.
New York Times Magazine: Two columns in particular, "The Ethicist" by Randy Cohen, and "On Language" by William Safire
Savage Love: Dan Savage is gay but he'll answer questions about sex from anyone -- gay, straight, bi or otherwise. The Stranger is his home, but he's also in The Village Voice, and he has a special gay version of his column at gay.com.
Gay
Why do we need special sites? Because we're gay! Get used to it.
Gay Porn Blog: Perhaps this should go under blogs as well, but I just visit this site to look at pics of cute porn stars.
Tottyland: Totty is some Briticism for cute person, usually girl, I assume, but this blog is about links to pics of hot guys, mixed in with some links to newsworthy items.
Tech
If you have no geek tendencies, you might not care about any of these sites.
Browser ID Strings: This is a good site for figuring out which browser corresponds to a particular user agent string.
Pocket PC Thoughts: I have a Compaq iPaq 3955 Pocket PC which I find extremely useful. Not only does it keep all my contact and calendar information but I take all my class notes on it (using a Targus Stowaway Portable Keyboard). I read e-Books and listen to audiobooks on it. It even does wifi with a SanDisk SD Wi-Fi Card. I'm not doing too badly when it comes to keeping current with technology, though I can't afford to be absolutely cutting edge. Yet when I want to hear about the latest thing related to Pocket PC, this site is where I go.
