My current favorites

webjay.org - great streaming music site from other people's playlists

www.mcmaster.com - Almost half a million different industrial products, from fittings, to chain to electronics. Simply amazing, it's like the best hardware store on the planet.

http://seamless.usgs.gov/ funky interface but you can get hi-res recent aerials of almost any major metro area in the U.S (as in Bay Are from South San Jose to Central Petaluma). Did I mention it's free?

http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/shiplocations.phtml Ok, so you can't bring nail clippers on an airplane, but you can see every major ship in the world from one web-based map. For boat geeks, this thing is very cool because not only can you find obscure research vessels and their homepages, you can also get a sense of the sea-weather in McMurdo Bay, Antartica in real time.

http://www.worldchanging.com/ Great green-clearinghouse of info, news, and ideas.
