Lately, I find my interest in the web just lacking. The only web pages I visit are bit-tech, PCMech, wikipedia, and I play a bit of Yahoo pool quite a bit. I need some suggestions for other web-sites to visit! i find myself barely gameing due to work, I'm not really sure what I'm interested in now. I like music (speaking of which, I remember a while ago when someone here talked a web-page that plays a custom web-radio station based upon music you like, anyone know what I'm talking about?) and I need to learn more about programming.

Kind of irrelevant to music and programming, but i feel like i should mention them anyways. engadget.com has some interesting stuff, aswell as hackaday.com
If you want some very crude laughs: http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Main_Page That can keep you busy laughing for a while. Also try reading webcomics based on your interests, they can pass time well!
My open tabs, on a pretty much daily basis, are Bit-Tech, BBC or Mainichi News, Webcomics, and Google. All of my school research gets done in the library archives available online or through good ol' google searching. pandora.com also gets my recommendation, though they don't have very much Japanese music. Also check out IPTV stuff like diggnation
whoa i just tried pandora...and its like what ive been searching for. I have the same problem and all i do it browse bit-tech and maybe a couple videos. another reccomendation for pandora right here!
You can waste several days on B3ta.com and weebls-stuff.co.uk is generally good. As for the programming side of things; it depends on what type of language you want to learn
sad to say, Mostly Bit, eBay, Yahoo News, and the web comics (User friendly, Penny Arcade, Ctrl-alt-delete, and Mows). Once in a while I'll wander elsewhere, but those take up a pretty good chunk of my time
Usually, it's Digg, Slashdot and Bit-Tech as well as some friends blogs and sometimes wikipedia. I'll visit Neowin and Aeroxp just for some vista news occasionally.
my morning route is: www.digg.com www.engadget.com www.ctrlaltdel-online.com www.deviantart.com not forgeting bit-tech, but i'm already here so it would be a bit silly linking it. and then a bunch of smaller sites that will probally only interest people in web design (css, html, design etc etc)
If you want a programming based distraction, then I recommend Project Euler. It's great if you want to hone your programming skills and improve your knowledge of number theory while at the same time doing something constructive and challenging with your spare time. I've been pretty hooked to it recently.
My regulars are just here, news.bbc, slashdot.org, wired.com - then there are some irregulars that I spent huge ammounts of time on maybe once or twice a year, like Xtremesystems - where I'll cram info before buying expensive stuff. Last.fm and Ishkurs guide to EDM have been come fairly regular for me too whenever I run out of music I want to listen to.
I check comics such as hl comic, and this http://www.collectedcurios.com and naturally bit. iv been hooked on b3ta and phwonline.
I have a few permanent tabs always open. They are: http://news.bbc.co.uk http://www.ebay.co.uk http://forums.bit-tech.net http://www.zerogain.com/forum (hifi) http://www.aikiweb.com/forums (martial arts) http://www.aikidojournal.com (martial arts)
http://www.last.fm (is this the radio site your refering to?) http://www.facebook.com http://www.bit-tech.net http://www.penny-arcade.com http://www.ctrlaltdel-online.com along with rss news feeds from bbc main, bbc tech, bit-tech, slashdot games and el reg. those are the main sites i visit, along with the ocassional video site like youtube
Daily: bit-tech.net Gizmodo.com Gizmag.com Wallpaper.com (almost daily) ------------------- Occasionally: strategypage.com militaryphotos.com totalbf2.com realitymod.com gametrailers.com and of course the almighty Google.
Ok I'm gonna respond to this chain just so all of you on here can feel superior and happy in the knowledge that non of you are as immature as me (I am 24 and work for the worlds largest investment bank...). Everyday (EVERYday) I check these; Gametrailers ebay Gamespot IGN youtube aintitcool myboringasslife thatguys.co.uk play-asia terratag bbc bit tech Play Everyday guys, usually for a few seconds, just so I can feel in contact with all things Geek.
