El Goonish Shive is a good webcomic.
A Miracle of Science is still a good webcomic, and unlike EGS it's long over.
A Borrowed Voice is a surprisingly good crack-premise Tolkien fanfic.
A bunch of new Madoka AMVs, which I've added to my list. I'll link to just one. Warning: spoilers for series and Rebellion.
Years ago, I proved the sin(A+B) identity from first principles while lying in bed. I think it took 40 minutes. The impressive part is that I'm usually more of a symbolic/numerical thinker than a visual one, I still slide my fingers to manipulate supply and demand curves, so doing finicky geometry in my head, no paper, was pretty impressive. Last night I thought about it again (and again in bed), and solved it much faster; I think I found a simpler solution, though I can't be sure. Alas, the margins of this blog post... or rather, I've never invested effort in learning how to make pictures on line.
The Renaissance art hallway at the MFA was more interesting than I expected, especially in the half that's largely maiolica.
