These sites I only check up on about once a week or so. The content is great, but I only have so much time in my life for browsing.

 

when i was in high school, i wore my backpack over both shoulders. i was the only one doing it...and people made fun of me for it. everyone else wore their backpack just over one shoulder, as was the style at the time. turns out i was ahead of my time.

There are so many other links I could have put here...and eventually I will. However, time restrains me from listing every single neato site I might visit over the course of a typical month. Do you have a site that should be up here?
