Need new websites to vist

Not sure if the Technology forum is a better place for this thread, but I'll ask here anyway. My new position at work has me working far more comfortably than where I was previously, but it also leaves me with very little do do during the long hours of the day. I've been visiting the same handful of sites on this computer, and I need more websites I could visit periodically.
Basically, just list your favorite websites that are updated frequently. Any category will do as long as it's interesting, funny, whatever. Just make sure it's worksafe, or at least provides warning for NSFW material.
The sites I visit regularly are:
neogaf.com: For the game news.
Penny-arcade.com: For the forum (love you guys).
wikipedia.org: For knowledge.
aintitcool.com: For movie news.
toonzone.net: For animated discussions and news.
dvdtalk.com: DVD reviews.
4chan.org: (at home, never at work)
The rest are just commonly known sites like IGN, 1up, and various forums. So I'm hoping you guys can help expand my folders a bit.

You specify what categories/subjects interest you, then you install a toolbar with a "Stumble" button. When you click that button, it'll send you to a random site recommended by other people with similar interests as you. Should be able to find something that interests you that ways.

For years, I was a regular reader of James Lileks, a Midwestern humourist. He has a blog, does podcasts, and his site itself is just packed with good stuff. You really can't go wrong with anything from the Institute of Official Cheer - specifically, the Gallery of Regrettable Food and Interior Desecrations. It's sarcastic, it's mocking, but there's a gentleness behind it, too. This is the stuff the author grew up with, and even though it's terrible, he loved it.

altweeklies.com - local alternative paper aggregator
alternet.org - liberal media lol
metafilter.com - links and articles
popurls.com - links to links
thetruthaboutcars.com - umm cars
bps-research-digest.blogspot.com - british psychological society research blog
defensetech.org - US defense industry news
advrider.com - adventure motorcycle riders forum. The flash home page is awesome even if you aren't a rider.
stumbleupon is good, but keep in mind you'll see a ton of badly drawn anime and inspirational blogs.
Are there any sites that feature comics or manga posted on the actual page, and not as a downloadable .zip? This job doesn't allow downloading of software or the like. I don't mean webcomics either, but scans (unless that falls into pirating territory, in which case nevermind).
