Believe it or not, everything on the web isn't completely serious. There are many humorous sites, from sites with assorted toys to web-based comic strips. Usually when I stumble across one of these sites I read everything on it, whether it be old movie reviews or three years' worth of comic strips. Now, I am not advocating such behavior, but I will say there's a lot of good stuff on these sites -- and I've read every last bit of it.

Online comics, dailies first:
Sluggy Freelance: I read this comic every morning at midnight when it is updated. It's my favorite online strip.
User Friendly: takes a close second. It's much more geared toward computer geeks than Sluggy (main site).
General Protection Fault: I hate to rank these, but this would be third. It's another computer geek strip.
Kevin & Kell: Tied for third or maybe second, this is a more recent (for me) comic, with archives back into 1996. Using animals as computer users is an interesting twist: it's well worth reading.
After Y2k!: Funny, geeky, and you pretty much have to have read it from the beginning. Ah well, it only takes an afternoon to get caught up on this computers/geek comic.
Penny Arcade comix: Two comics here! Both are rather funny.
The Parking Lot is Full: Gritty and sardonic, this weekly comic has nothing to do with computers and everything to do with sick and twisted bizarreness. Think The Far Side on a bad acid trip.
Tom Tomorrow's This Modern World: More political and pop-culture oriented than many of these comics, this weekly lampoons a lot of things that deserve lampooning, and sometimes even teaches you new things. The link points to the Salon Magazine comic archives.
Tom the dancing bug: Somebody put a bunch of these up in the bathroom here so I read them. The rest are occasionally funny, too. Also weekly.

The Brunching Shuttlecocks: A general humor site packed with fun toys and funny articles. Believe me, I've read every single one.
Segfault: A computer humor site. Not quite as funny as some of these other sites, nevertheless something humorous pops up every now and then.

Comic strips aren't the only thing I read every day. There are several sites I frequent, mostly about computer topics:
Slashdot : The place to go for news, hands down. You won't hear much about NATO or the Dow, but anything and everything about nerdy stuff from Linux to Star Wars to robotic Legos, it's all here.
Floach's: The best place to start for the day's news in Windows Shells. FPN focuses mainly on Litestep, a replacement shell for Windows.
Tin Toys: Another Litestep site, Tin also talks about Linux and other fun stuff.

I like music. I write music reviews for a music website. I have over 516 cds. Many of them I bought online, at stores like these:
CDNOW: The biggest and best CD store on the web. Don't believe me? Check out:
Cheap-CDs: Lo-Fi, but it gets the job done. Like vinyl.
Music Boulevard: See "CDNOW", above.
SecondSpin: Well worth checking out -- the Internet's only used CD store.
Spree.com: Ugly as heck but the prices are attractive.
CD Universe: See "Music Boulevard", above.
... and when in doubt, there's always BMG.

Here are some homepages of people I know. Incidently, a trick I've found for finding Northwestern student pages, is to type in http://www.nwu.edu/people/e-mail alias. For example, I am http://www.nwu.edu/people/m-lietz. Just a nifty little trick I rediscovered.

Here's a kick, test your IQ online! According to them I have an IQ of 144, so I don't know how much stock to take in your results. Unless you think I am worthy of an IQ of 144... hmmm...

And now, for something completely unrelated, here's Pepsi's website for Japan. See if you can find the Pepsiman commercials! Believe me, it's worth the effort.
