Geoff's Favorite Links

Why use Xmarks(*) to keep track of sites when you can just write your own webpage instead? :)

This is a collection of all the links i like to check on a daily/weekly/monthly basis. Everything except for web comics that is. They have their own page of links.

*: Xmarks is for when you need to reboot your computer but still have 50 tabs of TVTropes and Cracked.com articles waiting to be read =)

Daily links: stuff i tend to check on a daily basis

Google Everyone uses Google right? This is the second place i check after i fail to find info about anything on....
Wikipedia The deletionists continue to piss me off, but this is still the first place i check when i want to look something random up.
Dictionary.com Not a bad reference site, if you've got ads blocked at least.
GMail I don't know why i'm listing all these google things
Google Calendar when i can always just select them
Moogle from the main google page
Slashdot lots of interesting science news, and the trolls are slightly more literate than on other random sites :)
Slashdot Games This is the only subsection of Slashdot that i read on a regular basis.
Audible.com they don't always have new books every day (at least not in the SF/F section) but i can't resist checking anyways :)

Game sites: When the games section of Slashdot just isn't good enough

Reference sites: more specilized reference sites

Political sites: How often i check these varies, usually depending on where we are in the election cycle

Weekly stuff: these are sites that i ought to check at least once a week, just to see what's up

GOG Good Old Games. A lot of older games, revamped to work with modern systems and totally DRM free.
Stardock Impulse Mostly DRM free games.
Steam Heavily DRMed games, though it's supposedly "unobtrusive."
OCRemix Remixed video game music
KSPC Stream It seems that the default Nexus One/Android music player can't handle m3u streams. Maybe clicking this link will let me listen to the Video Game Music Show on Fridays.

Montly stuff: the sites i ought to check at least once a month. Except for all the financial institution sites, no point making things easier than necessary for the scammers :)

I'm Bored sites: stuff i tend to pull up whenever i need to kill time

Online stores: This is the section for all the stores that didn't get listed somewhere else.

Amazon
Ebay
Etsy I've only ever bought anything from here once so far, but they have lots of cool and unusual stuff.
Overstock.com I've been told this can be a good place to shop, but i haven't really looked into it much yet.
