We all have bookmarked sites that we visit often, PSC being on the top of that list, are there any sites you always use? If so let us know, we want quality not quantity, for me the internet is important for up to the minute information about weather, valid news like what is taking place in Japan and Libya, new technologies of any kind, expecially zero point, the arts, photo sites, with the advent of You tube, so many gaps are filled, yes, lots of crap, but if you wade through it, you can usually find what you're looking for, I'm sure we have some apple juice users here, the way I see it if you want to infect your sytem, just give it apple juice Laughing
Anyway, here are a few sites I visit daily, and I want some new stuff to bookmark, so post sites you find valuable. Smile If you dare.

I use many weather sat sites, but this one tells me lots.

I'll bite...

Obviously I hit http://www.photoshopcontest.com just about daily during the week (usually at least 5-6 times throughout the day)

http://www.cracked.com for some interesting takes on pop culture and even history & http://www.cracked.com/craptions for great laughs (new contests start at 2pm Eastern)

www.google.com/ig - my personalized Google page. On there I have headline links for NPR, NYT, Reuters, etc. Great for keeping abreast of big stories in the news.

http://www.w3schools.com - invaluable resource at times

http://api.jquery.com/ - resource and learning
http://docs.jquery.com/UI/ - jQuery UI widgets rock

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/index.html - cuz I don't know enough SQL. Cool

http://www.alistapart.com/ - a must read for web developers & designers

http://www.useit.com/ - Jakob Nielsen. Usability guru.

http://www.smashingmagazine.com/ - I devour their email newsletters when they hit my inbox.

http://new.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/ & http://www.identifont.com/identify.html for finding out what the f@#*ing font is when I gotta fix a graphic for a dealer.

Oddly enough there's a designer blog that i hit all the time but I can't think of his name off the top of my head so I can't refind the URL. Seriously I go there weekly minimum and yet I'm totally brain-farting it right now.
