    Ok, we all have our favorite websites. But I thought it would be interesting to see what sites others find useful.

    What are your top 10 sites? If you don't have 10 not to worry.

    Here are mine:

    PriusChat (duh)
    GasBuddy (quite useful)
    Fuel Gauge Report (85,000 self-serve stations are surveyed)
    Google (search engine)
    CNN
    The New York Mercantile Exchange (oil prices etc)
    Dynamism (exotic and hard to find electronic toys)
    WeatherTap (Excellent overall weather site - requires subscription)
    AVS Forum (High end home video and audio)
    Toyota Prius and related meta-links
    All Earthquake List for World

    As we share our links my guess is we will all benefit from a pretty diversified resource of information.

    Cheers

    I tried this a few weeks ago, but didn't get much response.

    Several newspapers and magazines, incl. NY Times, Washington Post and LA Times, National Geographic, New Yorker, The Onion, Salon, and MSNBC for e-mail bulletins

    eBaum's World: weird and sometimes hilarious video clips

    How Stuff Works

    boomerradio.com for decent radio stations with great sound quality

    EarthBrowser: the one suggestion I got from another poster that I instantly signed up for (free trial, then subscription)---up-to-the-minute world times, temps, sea temps, other info, all displayed on a revolving globe. You just pass your cursor over any of their hundreds of "outposts" (including buoys!). Very cool if you like that sorta thing.

    wonkette: you have to visit her!

    I'm not much of a computerista, but my favorite sites are FamilySearch.org and EllisIsland.org (I'm an amateur genealogist) AND OF COURSE, Priuschat.com.

    I have no time for anything else either because I spend so much time here, I have very limited "down" time, a combination of the two.
