I need new toys on the internets! No blue stuff or nuthin', mind - but I've just realised I go to the same webpages 95% of the time. I am curious (Beige) as to what I'm missing out on.
What's fun 'n different? And is it as good as Strange Maps?
Simply awesome concept, brilliantly realised. Not necessary to know all the investment banking jargon - if you enjoyed American Psycho or The Bonfire of the Vanities you'll get the joke.

For that geopolitical itch you just can't scratch. Read his stuff on Iran: the US is like a chronic nose-picker - won't leave a bloody mess alone.
I know you have more than a passing interest in Nihon. This website is fascinating on the seemy underside. The article above is a bit of a departure from their usual material, but a fantastic example of their journalism.
Hard to compete with Strange Maps, Lefty E (I was a cartographer in a past life), but http://unhappyhipsters.com/ is pretty funny - like lolcats, only architectural.

Trendhunter will usurp hours,
Picture Australia searches ditto,
Slushpile Hell is black comedy, and -
Love The Liberry to see the horror of another bored worker's day.
