davidnark Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Things are really slow right now, so I thought I would suggest a safe OT topic. These days, I spend most of my online time that is not on this site at news.google.com. It provides an unbiased aggregation of local, national, and international news. urbanstlouis.com is a cool site for local urban redevelopment (and you might find a few of the regulars from this board wandering around). I have found dealcatcher.com a cool place to browse around if you are looking to spend some cash on a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a downtown resident I spent most of my time there as moforgov. Great site for new info on St. Louis development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetorch Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I spend most of my online time looking for music. I like to read pitchforkmedia.com for the newest album reviews. Hype Machine is another good place to find new music. Basically it is a collection of music blogs with mp3 downloads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iggy Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 The first thing I check every morning is woot.com They sell one item a day until it's sold out. It's usually electronic related, but not always. It's a cool site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 http://www.avclub.com/ The Onion's AV Club (a sort of operating subsidiary without the Onion name involved- but it makes up the second half of each print edition and it's obvious they spun off) is absolutely essential reading for any enthusiast of cinema, music, books, TV, and pop culture in general, including comics and video games. It's as smart and funny as anything else you'll read online. I trust their reviews more than any other source. The AV Club doesn't have to worry about "taking it easy" on terrible films or albums that might have been produced by a studio under the same corporate umbrella as its own publication, like so many other newspapers, magazines, and websites. The AV Club also has the best features of any pop culture site I've seen. These have mostly been mentioned already, but I also love the Onion and Pitchfork, though Pitchfork can get a bit pretentious. NY Times, STLToday, Cincinnati Enquirer, Chicago Tribune, Wikipedia, Facebook, and MSNBC are all also on heavy rotation, along with Yahoo! Sports for fantasy sports, Amazon to buy anything, and ESPN for no other reason than I'm used to the format more than other sports sites (but for the record ESPN annoys me to no end).

For sports history/research/trivia for every player and team the absolute best site ever is www.baseballreference.com which is updated daily. You can even check box scores and play-by-play for every MLB game starting in 1957. Also, there are minor league records for the last 16 years. I can get lost there for hours at a time. There are also links to their mirrored sites for football, basketball and hockey. Great stuff!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BillikenReport Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Another good website is http://stlhoopsinsider.com/ I always check out www.stlhoopinsider.com and www.rameybasketball.com along with www.billikenreport.com. Though that last site hasn't had enough good updates lately. - Nate ps: Thanks for the other links. I don't have time to check out all those sites, but there are definitely some good ones on this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
