The Internet routine.

I don't know when it happened, or why, but one day I realized my browser could have a toolbar for my bookmarks and make my daily browsing experience a whole lot more efficient.

So I have a particular rotation of sites I go to on a daily (or weekly) basis to get my fix of information and humor. I am curious to see what everyone else does.

Here's my routine:

• CNN - for international and national news. I used to use MSNBC but their site is way too busy for me.
• ESPN - for sports news.
• Boston.com - for "local" news. I say "local" because there are websites for news in the Springfield area but, like everything about the Springfield area, those sites are terrible.
• Penny Arcade (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) - for lulz.
• Facebook - for social media. Makes the little time I spent on Myspace look childish in retrospect.
• Kotaku - for video game news. I stuck with IGN for the longest time but when their reviews started getting tedious to read I moved on.
• Deadspin - for new media sports news. The newest regular addition to my routine, though they spend an awful lot of time on gossip. Isn't that what Gawker is for?
• Gamingforce - not sure why anymore.
• The Pensblog - for Pittsburgh Penguins news and humor.
• Zero Punctuation (Wednesday) - for Yahtzee's (generally) scathing and amusing reviews.

There are other sites I visit periodically, like VGCats and GameTrailers but that's more or less the extent of my regular browsing.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
