There's lot to do... I spend like 15 hrs. online almost everyday and always find this new site, that new UBB...
old comics from bt, foul mouthed and cynical games critique, amateur novelists posting some fresh and nice writing somewhere, browse comments about your favourite movies at imdb, 1000 post extreme flamewars  about any silly non-event on an obscure forum... Learn about WWII, Age of Sail history, RC planes, politics, virtual communities, game developement...

Heaven for the attention deficit disorder junkie!

Of course there are times when you are just sick of it all, I tend to use those for getting some work done, actually paying attention to the wifey or socializing.

I'm finding as of late that my ecclectic browsing habits have improved my real life conversational skills. My coworkers expect eagerly the coffee break so I tell them what kind of weird stuff I found last night :D

now go and do some letter fighting:

I often find the most interesting sites when Im looking for something else.

the following is such an example.

Kinda surprised nobody here is touting it

The answer, Nash, is that you will never be invited to Burning Man.

Not true. ;)

But haven't gone... The acid/shroom thing is a bit too college.

(didn't know you actually needed to be invited... doubt that).

If Im just trying to kill time, I go on ebay sometimes and look at different things like guitars, old coins.  Every once in a while Ill see something that sparks an interest.

Yeah Nash, I hear what you are saying. I've been through many of the same cycles on the net too and now it seems like there is nothing that amazingly fun or intriguing about any of it.

When I look back on it all, the most fun I have had on the net is when I can interact with other people.....weather in games, email, bbs and etc...

Right now I have reached a "boring" period as well.
One thing that keeps getting better, in my opinion, is the information and knowledge available on the net. Even though there is a lot of garbage......there is also a lot that can be learned.

When I was a kid, I loved to look up stuff I was interested in at the library. The net is kinda a source like that for me now.

I hear looking up obscure sites relating to facts about Norway can be good when you get bored.  ;)

A weblog or blog is a sort of personal diary/newspage. Now you too can be Geraldo.
