The boredom is driving me CRAZY!

Ok, I skip back and forth between the same sites all day: This one, Cougarnuts, TCCOA, NATO, poe-news, my many e-mail accounts, and occasionally links off of posts.

And apparently people have more to do at work than me so a lot of times nothing changes much while I'm gone creating even more boredom.

So... anybody got any interesting sites to go to? Reading type stuff preferred. No time for games really since work comes in throughout the day but it's usually only 20-30 minutes of stuff at a time.

I maintain the website for a college, so I only work if things need changing. Next month will be a lot busier since I'm migrating the site over to a new template and new server technologies and all that fun stuff.

I know exactly how you feel Crystal.  Sometimes I feel like that guy on that commercial where the computer shows him a message saying he has reached the end of the Internet.  Try some of these sites:
http://www.howstuffworks.com
http://www.offtopic.com <-- Some interesting discussions go on here sometimes.
http://www.nationstates.net -- Lets you create your own nation.  Text based and pretty interesting.  Kirchlandia now has 2.914 billion citizens!
http://www.emporis.com/en/ -- Hi-res images of a lot of famous skysers.  Interesting site.
http://www.touchgraph.com/TGGoogleBrowser.html -- The Touchgraph Google Browser.  A really cool way to look at the Intarweb.
http://forum.darkness.com/ -- Interesting reads.

Maybe you'll be able to stave off a few more hours of boredom with some of those sites.  :)

I know there is a lot of good info at http://www.turbomustangs.com . I've been hanging out there for a while to check out the tech info. 

The internet is really boring,  seems like 50% of it is porn.  Not that its a bad thing but sometimes I want to see some great new tech info. 

Do a search on Holden Commodore's, I want one really bad!  They are a smooth looking v8 powered sedan.  Holden is responsible for the New GTO Chassis from what I hear.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

The GTO is a Holden Monaro with a two kidney grille, nothing more. That's why there's a Pontiac that looks like a Lumina. Because Pontiac didn't design it. The Holden looks much better.






The HSV GTO Monaro is hot.




Off Topic? WHO SAID THAT?!?!?!?
