Which are "YOUR" websites?

Yours as in, which websites do you tend to visit on a daily basis for news or entertainment, or just to feel caught up or generally part of your daily routines? The reason I ask is I feel like I have a number of certain sites I visit pretty much each and every time I have a few minutes to relax , log on and surf for a while. Pentax Forums is one of those for example. The second part of the reason I ask is because I feel as a creature of habit sometimes I wished I had an array of newer, fresher sites to get in the habit of visiting each day to make surfing the net overall much more fun or interesting other than the 4-5 each day I visit for the same old, same old...make sense? In good taste of course, post yours and maybe we can all be turned on to a few cool places we didn't know about or haven't thought of in recent times.

If you guys use Google Reader you can get updates from all your favorite sites using their RSS feeds. I love it because it provides me a centralized place to see all articles instead of clicking around from site to site. Some of the sites where I'm subscribed to:

Autoblog
Calculated Risk
cnn money
DailyFinance
DPReview
Engadget
Fatwallet
IPO Home
Joystiq
New York Times
PentaxForums (of course)
Reuters
SlickDeals
The Consumerist
Travelzoo

Geeze, mine sound - and I suppose - are mundane; I'm a few days from 64 after all. Public sites I'll look at least every day-or-three:

PentaxForums
Google Business (PC) or CNBC (iPhone)
Weather Channel and/or National Weather Service
NWS Marine Forcast (prior to heading for the boat)
Google News (PC) or USA Today and NPR (iPhone)

From August 1 to mid October:

National Hurricane Center
Tropical Underground
