I went on Web Comic binge last week. It chewed up some time I probably should have been using to run. :)
Most of them were from the Keenspot network. Here are some I thought were interesting. Quality was a little varied, but it was a nice diversion.
Sorcery 101
No Need For Bushido
Dungeons and Denizens
Dreamless
Sore Thumbs

Cool quote from an Runners World interview with Gary Muhrcke, winner of the first NYCM (1970):
"But could you imagine if everybody in this country ran one marathon a year? Forty thousand is a lot, but I'm not in awe of that in any way, shape, or form. When you have 100,000 people watching a football game at so many locations in this country, I don't think 40,000 is the right number. It's very, very small. I would love for everybody in this country to run one marathon a year. That's all. And I think we'd be better off physically .... You can see these people coming across the finish line in 4:00, and they are as happy and maybe even more happy than people finishing in 2:15. They're delighted with their achievement. It has to be great for them."

Race sign quoted on Running Chick in the Orange Hat's blog (first running blog I ever read): "That's not sweat...it's your fat cells crying."

For my geeky friends, VirtualBox is frickin' awesome! Free, full on virtualization. Perfect if you have a machine with some gumption and you want to try out an new Operating System (LINUX for example, or maybe even Windows 7) without flatlining a machine, or if you want a testbed you can crush and restore on a regular basis.
