Laugh

Dilbert: A great way to laugh at the ridiculous things that happen in our workplaces.

Plan

Yahoo! Weather: I travel a lot, and Yahoo! Weather makes it easy to see the weather so I can pack the right clothes. How should you dress the kids for school? Just enter the zip code and get a 10-day forecast.

Baby Name Wizard: Have a baby on the way? Staying awake at night wondering if you should name the little bundle of joy Apple, Hazel or David? This Wizard interactively charts almost any name's popularity over the past 100 years.

Relax

Yahoo! Movies: Need a stress reliever? How about a chick flick where they sing and dance and get married in the end, a shoot'em up where the bad guy wins in the end, or an artsy film only the enlightened can understand? Yahoo! Movies make it easy to see what's playing, whether you're at home or away: just enter a zip code for show times, movie reviews, and more.

Travel
Want to get away from it all, visit the folks, or take a weekend or a romantic get-away? Here are three of my favorite travel sites:

Orbitz: The biggie, this one is owned by the airlines and offers deals found no where else.

Qixo: compares fares from more than 10 major discount travel sites including Travelocity, Expedia, Cheaptickets, Travelscape and more.

If you find more balance by getting comfortable in the technoworld, go to Slashdot: Slashdot's motto is "News for nerds. Stuff that matters." The site is a purveyor of news for the true techno-geek. Equally valuable are the discussion forums that accompany each article, which are famed for witty, irreverent, and sometimes even insightful commentary.
