I completely forgot about Slashdot, which used to be a huge deal. It still exists, and gets a fair number of comments. Here's a new article about Clippy.

Everyone loves visualizing algorithms. Here are a bunch that aren't just the usual sort algorithms
Relics are wacky. Interesting text on the votive crown of St. Oswald at Hildesheim.
"Dwitter.net is a challenge to see what awesomeness you can create when limited to only 140 characters of javascript and a canvas". Extra points for having a random button.
