Misc. Goodness:

Jaded's Pub
A real hidden treasure of the web, and a good place for civilized chat about nothing much.

Modern Tales
A bevy of interesting webcomics for a low, low price.

Kaufmansoft
Some good freeware utilities to be found here.

Google News Search
Google's news search is a good place to find a wide variety of current news. It's a bit scattershot, but still interesting.

Penny Arcade
Great webcomic, and the sanity in the news posts is sometimes amazing.

Greysoft
Makers of the very fine weblogging program I use.
