I seem to be in a digital rut when it comes to procrastination, constantly looking at the same few websites. I tend to look at STW, BBC, a couple of newspaper sites that don't hide behind a paywall and facebook. Plus online shops where I daydream about things I can't afford.

Recommend me some informative entertaining safe for work websites.

Great start. Thanks.

Cynic-al - not now it's the evening. Just thinking ahead that's all. If you repeat at about 0930 tomorrow it maybe justified...

I love this website..... Takes a huge chunk of my lunch times each week 🙂

Or if your into going wow cool, I wish I could do that!!! check out Daniel Simon.... His artwork rocks, especially before he was involved in the movie industry in a big way. His coffee table book is a bit of a collectors item 🙂

Hopefully "cosmic motors" will be turned into a film soon.... Check out the "trailer"!

StumbleUpon is pretty good for coming up with lots of random stuff. You can program it to find what interests you.
