An excellent guide to comedy podcasts →
I pretty much agree with all of his opinions. There are are more podcasts on there than any human could ever keep up with (I subscribe to many of them, but only actually listen to a few consistently) My favorites from the guide are:
Nerdist
Pod F. Tompkast
Comedy Death Ray
Sklarbro Country
You Look Nice Today
The Bugle
Jordan Jesse Go!

The Latest in Technology on Live! with Regis and... →
I find it fascinating that Live! does this segment with Leo Laporte after every CES. I can’t imagine that most of the audience is even aware of CES. That said, Leo brought some solid gadget picks that anyone would drool over.
Bill Murray is greatest. →
I had heard the urban legend of Murray sneaking up behind people (it’s further explained in the article), but just assumed it was a tale of glorious fiction, but apparently he had done something nearly as awesome… crashing a private karaoke party… and there are pictures!

It’s excellent for a font nerd like me who can spend hours narrowing down that perfect font.

Wikipedia amazes me. It’s one of the most visited websites in the world, yet it never has downtime, there are zero advertisements, and there are tons of volunteers keeping it spam free.
If you told me I had to pick one website that would be the only website I could visit over the course of a year (weird scenario), Wikipedia would be that site.
