6. Well, first off - I'm never bored. But what I do online when I don't have
a planned objective:

I do research. Any and all subject matter. Anything can provide the stimulus for me to go looking around in the vast corners of the net.

If I'm not feeling to "cerebral", I'll check out:

7. Coin collecting
It's kind of neat to just look at what's out there and the prices rare coins are going for. Here's a cool site www.ha.com

8. My favorite "bored" links:
Pandora Internet Radio (you give it the name of a song or performer, it creates a radio station around it): http://www.pandora.com/

Hulu (since I haven't had cable in a year and a half, it satisfies my need to watch TV on occasion): http://www.pandora.com/

The Superficial (best gossip blog out there): http://www.thesuperficial.com/

A Hamburger Today (really entertaining food blog): http://aht.seriouseats.com/

Jatbar ("Jason & Terry's Bay Area Review"...these guys have reviewed over 1000 restaurants from San Francisco to San Jose, plenty of photos in each review): http://www.jatbar.com/

Gorilla Mask (a little bit of everything): http://www.gorillamask.net/

:toast:
