Those are the sites I visit every day, I also have a bunch of other sites I visit whenever I remember them or can be bothered, such as webcomics.
Gonna keep watching this thread and see if I need to add a few sites to my daily check

Slashdot (http://slashdot.org)
The Replica Prop Forum (http://www.therpf.com/)
Deskthority (http://deskthority.net)
Teefury (http://www.teefury.com/)
... and, of course; Geekhack.
I also follow xkcd, but not every day because it is updated on only three out of seven days each week... ;-þ
I also read PVP (http://www.pvponline.com/comic), Ctrl+Alt+Del (http://www.cad-comic.com/cad/) and Penny Arcade (http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/) regularly.
There are also quite a few other forums and news sites that I visit regularly, but not every day and I don't always participate so much.
-
Why do I have a feeling most of you are excluding certain sites? ;D
-
Hahaha ^ :rolleyes:
-
Geekhack, MechWarrior Online Forums (just recently got back into it. Lots of fun with friends), YouTube, email client, and Anandtech. Don't really have a ton else.

Lol I don't think I even beat naughty sorceress yet! But I love the game's sense of humor and ridiculous artwork. Do you think they would allow us to make key caps? That would rock.

I KNOW they would allow keycaps. I'm reverkiller on there if you're interested - I think I may start playing again soon. I have ~40+ ascensions so it could be fun to restart :)

Pastebin is a useful site to share blocks of text with multiple people without using email addresses. You can use an API to automatically paste text from applications that you create as well. You can set privacy settings for the pastes or you can decide to make it public.
Many hacker groups and hacktivist groups like anonymous use it to post large data of text as the owners of the site do not seem to care about DCMA requests. Its always interesting to see what kind of shenanigans are in the top 100 for the week. My recent favorite was when someone published a bunch of gov.cn domains, most likely coming from an unauthorized zone transfer.

oh i see that setting "public exposure" now it's interesting.

Also, petrolicious.com
E30 article they posted today was nice, the garage from last week was jaw dropping gorgeous.

Their artwork is so quirky, it would make for a great keycap set. Just their base logo is pretty funny.

Maybe cut off his legs and it would look better on a keycap. Litster probably going to cite them for copyright infringement, LOL!

Have you bought anything from them? I never find any of their items especially creative or that good of a deal.
-
Woot seems awesome for iPod docks / audio equipment, and currently they have lots of Razer refurb goodies. Some of their shirts are freaking awesome as well and if you get it on the day of its debut, it's 12 dollars with free shipping... who can beat that??

Personally I think ironic or funny t-shirts are just so tacky...
