I'm just curious as to what sites everyone visits when they open their browser.

me:
1) Excite@home start page = I read some news, get the Temps, basic stuff...
2) Usually come to MacNN = Check for any cool Mac News.
3) Click any link on the MacNN Page that looks cool...
4) Check the MacNN Forums...
5) Go to ESPN.com and click my "3 Play", players and read some news...
6) Check my Hotmail (and Mac.com mail through outlook express, but that's not a browser.)
7) Ummm... Then I get kinda board... anyone out there with some cools sites bookmarked? Sites that you visit every day?

I always start at Yahoo cos it's my home page and I can check my mail. Then my wife arrives and kicks me out of the way cos she wants to check her mail. When I finally make it back on I go here to check out some music from unsigned bands and film from unknown directors: www.getoutthere.bt.com

or here for more tunes:
www.peoplesound.com

And whilst they're downloading I'll visit the lounge for a bit of a rant.

Then, and only then, I get bored.

Excite for news, weather, ski reports, then AtAT, UBBDev, MacNN, my messageboards, Apple Knowledgebase (if something's wrong with my computer) and then anything else that I read about or got an email about

For those interested in earthquakes, particularly if you live in California, you might visit: http://quake.wr.usgs.gov/recenteqs/
from time to time. The site is updated pretty quickly after an event. In some instances you can even report if you experienced any shaking at your location after a quake and to what degree.

In order of being across my browser Personal Toolbar:

MacNN
MacCentral
Inside Mac Games
MOSR
MacLedge
MacSurfer
ArsTechnica
VooDooExtreme
SomethingAwful (my favorite)
Weather (Environment Canada's site, really good)
Hotmail

Those pretty much cover my interests. I don't know of any good car or volleyball sites, so those are it.
Living, working, and freezing in the Canadian north.
