One laugh a day
The daily comic
"Userfriendly"
is the first point where every surf session should start. There
you get information about the employee working for an ISP and
their wisdom about Linux and WINDOWS. Every day actual themes
coming from the Linux community are spiced with humor. If you
have always wanted to know what Microsoft's Anti-Linux-Group
looks like and how new NT administrators are educated in the Camp
of Redmond, you should regularly look at this site.
The actual daily "static" is at http://www.userfriendly.org/static/
In
the "Imagery Intelligence Gallery" (IMINT), you
will find a big collection of satellite and arial pictures from
the last 50 years.
Sorted by themes, there are pictures made from the Second World
War, the Vietnam War and the Kosova conflict. But you will also
find a big collection of civil objects, air pictures from Waco
and pictures of a possible chemical factory.
Short descriptions beside the pictures support an interpretation.

Many web sites
try to inform the users about new versions of software. The best
site seems to be http://www.freshmeat.net.
Other good sites are http://www.icewalkers.com/
and http://www.linuxapps.com,
which also offer a big collection of links of announced programs.
Game freaks should remember two sites that report daily about new
games and news from the game sector: http://www.linuxgames.com
and http://happypenguin.org.
Often similar reports are at both sites so it is normally enough
to look at one regularly.
Everyone who wants to be up-to-date
needs news. Much high quality news is at Slashdot: http://www.slashdot.com.
