Grrrr!
Do you ever get that feeling like you can't be bothered to do any work, and yet you've already checked all your regular haunts on the internet, and as such have nothing to do?
I do all the time, and it's really annoying
Usually I just default to South Park....
(working my way through series 11)
So, my usual sites to check (in no specific order)
Hackaday.com
digg.com + branches
psdtuts.com
slashdot.com
engadget.com
thedailywtf
lifehacker.com
here
theregister
apple movie trailers
various web comics
But I need suggestions of (tech related) non flash game websites to waste some time on! News / comedy is good!
Show me your best
And on another note...

my daily drive includes a lot of your ones there plus
gizmodo
theinquirer.net
fudzilla
techdirt
kotaku
joystiq
bluesnews
rockpapershotgun
before when I ran out of internets I used to use stumbleupon. I found countless items of nerdiness, trivia and wastes of time, as well as a lot o shit, with that. Dont use it anymore, I've kicked my internet addiction

Outside of my usual routine of:
-Facebook, Festers, For-teh-win.net (other gaming clan), e-mail etc.
It's...
http://www.ffffound.com
-cool site to look at art, photography, etc
http://www.woostercollective.com
-street art, etc
http://www.motiongrapher.com
-awesome site to check out whats new in motion graphics
http://www.thefwa.com
-awesome site for revolutionary designs/interactivity in web design
http://www.nataliedee.com
-daily webcomic that amuses me, and caters to my childish immature humor
http://www.onemorelevel.com
-Flash game site, great for killing time when you're bored
...I just realized most of the sites I visit cater to my refusal to read, and my every growing passion for just looking at pictures...

Worksafe internet things, eigh.
I agree with gizmodo but I enjoy LifeHacker more. Some other blogs :
RaymondBlog,
Coding Horror,
Study Hacks.
I think you might like the anti-experts-exchange,
P2P Wrox or the even better
Stack Overflow .
And then there is always work safe comics (
VG Cats,
Penny Arcade,
Bunny Comic ) , internet radio (
Jango ) and new desktop wallpapers to find, lol I have over 100, goes very nice with automatic wallpaper changer.
Those are all of my favorites, enjoy!
And if you still have time to kill, you could skim through the listserv emails, sort your inbox, organize your desktop/my-documents, perform disk defrag or cleanup, or go get a cup of coffee.
Wallpaper sites:
http://www.digitalblasphemy.com/
http://www.vladstudio.com/home/
http://www.moving-insect.com/
http://www.deviantart.com/
more ...
I don't think you wanted flash games sites but
Orishnal are the best done flash games ever, and I also like
ISketch (pictonary), and multiplayer online Bomber Pengu (bomberman, cept with penguins).

I haven't used MyFace for years, since my account got hacked. But
Kongregate is a great website.

If you're into films (as I am), you could do a lot worse than checking out
www.CHUD.com
Very well informed and sarky film website, without hating for no reason.
