Internet always has a new thing to watch or learn, like Trekkie101 says i like read forum, well not all the forums in the world, just stick to one and stay there, you will find a lot of things and if in the case you don't know something all the comunity will help you. Well me always use the internet to download things, i like movies, so im always donwloading from differents places, first was imesh, then dc and ocasionally use bt, and the last one p2m. Another thing i like is chat with friends, and that keep you busy a lot of time.

Another thing, when i'm downloading something, sometimes i look for long time how the bytes come to my pc, maybe it's something pretty bored, but i like to do this, dont know why

In all honesty, at times I seem to have too little time... Here's a list of current projects, sorta..

• Being active here, and moderating
• Running a forum for a bunch of friends
• building a site for the same bunch of friends (who really deserve a kick someplace )
• building MY own site
• being a mod in an msn group of survivors
• doing some photoshop
• learn/work in flash/actionscript
• talk to people who need to learn to GOOGLE for answers to questions such as "do you have any links to ....."
• trying to actually finish a program in Delphi (I know ... Delphi is bad, but it's the first thing I learned and didn't pay attention in class blegh)
• Playing ShadowMUD
• making futile attempts to keep my posting rate up in USI (Play by email RPG)

Oh yeah, I also listen to music, read articles, read other forums and just do some occasional Idle surfing

I usually listen music (metal) while doing everything on internet, like:
Being on the forum of my favorite band (therion), I'm a mod there.
Being on their chat.
Being in MSN
Being in this forum
Reading a lot about metal bands
Reading about every interesting thing it crosses in my path.

pr0n?

Well actually just general surfing will do when that does not happen I usually just buzz around forums for a while. I spend an amazing amount of time on forums or reading articles while I am DLing soemthing. Then again I also play some browser based games and thsoe two take up a nice chunk of time. I mdoerate some forums aswell as am part of several online groups. Overally it keeps me pretty buisy

I can alsways find something to amuse ymself with like most recently a neat flash game called Nanaca-Crash ( http://megami.starcreator.com/nanaca-crash/ )

Well while I'm on the Internet, I like to...

• Read the totse.com Forums
• Read up on NFL news
• Check my NFL Fantasy Team
• Check Gamefaqs.com
• Working my personal websites
• Every now and then talk on AIM
• Play flash games...www.addictinggames.com
• Legally get music

Yea, that's pretty much all. I don't have a MySpace of Facebook account, so I never check those.

It does get a little bit boring sometimes. but most of the time, for me, it's just E-mail, Myspace, check out your own site, play a few cheesy games and get off.

or, if you really have nothing to do, go to Youtube. that site'll probably keep you entertained enough for a few hours.

The internet is a pretty good entertainment investment! Here are some of the cooler things I have found:

Wikipedia - if you ever have a little question about anything, you can just go look it up in 3 seconds

TV shows - You can watch some TV shows online. All the episodes of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, for example, are there!

Forums - Duh!

But the best thing about the internet, is that no matter how wierd your interest is (like Old computers or Xtal radio for example) you can find lots of stuff about it! This way you can read more than you want to about a topic, get sick of it, and move on to having a life

    Mapping the great network that is the internet was never going to be an easy task. There would have

    in Japan, it is worth a go. Modeled on the fiendishly complex Tokyo Metro map, the latest Web Trend
    Map organizes some of cyberspace's movers and shakers into an easy-to-read chart.

    What happens if participants in a business meeting behave like Internet commenters? It's funny
    because it's so true. 90% of the comments people make in forums etc. would not be made in real
    life, where other people could (in theory at least) actually retaliate physically or at least
    identify the person making the comment. Warning: crude language.

    General Motors, and Intel are among the early advertisers announced by News Corp in its statement
    about the service. Their distribution channel spans what they tout as 96 percent of the monthly

    Web hosts aren’t just flooding the Internet- casinos are too. I was doing a bit of research about

    website, or even downloaded any poker software. There income must be extremely high or they just get
    more than $5.00 per customer visiting their website, as casino adds average on about $4.50 per
