For the same reason, I use

And I subscribe to the New York Times, so I get a daily email with their headline stories.

BMW GS-club Nederland
Driving a BMW R1150GS motorbike is one of my hobbies. ( Next year the new 1200 )
The GS-club in the Netherlands is a very active bunch of people and has a lively forum.
But the Lurkerlounge is at the top of my bookmarklist. :D
Greetings,

I use Google (A+ for convienience, F for originality), but he uses some obscure website I had never heard of and can't even remember now. So, what do other people use as their homepage? Any strange ones out there?

This is fairly recent, but the Lurker Lounge Front Page. Had the insanity test as my home page for some months, the one with the race car and human vocals. Kids loved it, and when I came home some days, it sure helped me giggle away a bit of stress.

None. It comes up the fastest, then I can choose where I reallly want to go from shortcuts.

MSN.com, the default one. Sometimes my brother switches it to MLB.com
At my dad's house, it's the NASA homepage.

not so strange, so do I.
I have /. as my homepage in uni though
Although, using moz I could open my entire quicklinks bar as one group of tabs and set those as home, but since that would be a good idea I'm not going to do it.
