List sites that you admire and tell us why you admire them.
First of all:

Cuteoverload.com
I really admire this site because well...its for all things cute and cuddly. It really does brighten up your day if you have had a bad one, not only that but the designed background is so cool and funky.

Thanks for kicking this thread off henred5. I don't know if anyone else started something similar, but I think this could be really interesting if given a chance for us all to share.

Soulcore.net - The website of Matthew Warlick a graphic designer from Texas, which I found thanks to the guys deviantart gallery. It's a well thought out site, easy to navigate, and is one of the many sites that helps give me ideas on what I should do with my own when I'm done.

DeviantART.com - Say what you will about it's user interface, navigation, and body of often times overzealous unpaid moderators, who really should be paid considering the site's making money, it's been the most effective way for me to expose myself to the work of other artists from around the world, and other brackets of art. It prevents me from ever allowing myself to fall into a comfort zone that would isolate me from art as a whole.

4Chan.org - Though sections of the site aren't work safe, and it's design is incredibly simplistic, it's another one of those sites I admire for pulling you out of your comfort zones in exposing you to new ideas, even if they're absolutely immature.

I guess a website I admire, though its more of a blog really, would be The Daily Kitten simply because I LOVE cats. I've submitted some pics of my kitten when she was new born but now that Snicker Doodle--thats her name, what do you think of it?--is older and full of energy, I think that I will try and get some more pics of her and submit those also.

Moving on.. I admire:

Wordpress.org - For creating the most versatile, user-friendly coded blog and website management tool EVER.
Cpanel.com - Because I'd be lost without it.
Livejournal.com - Even though the administration is starting to get.. ridiculous. I still love it. Old school.
Google.com - Because it's google. And also for Gmail, which is the Gods' gift to humanity.
BrowseHappy.com - Educating the public.
Youtube.com - For providing a site that gives me hours of entertainment.
Last.FM - Because it's an awesome way to see organized lists of your music preferences, find new music, and meet people with similar music tastes.
Del.icio.us - For creating an awesome social networking and bookmarking site, second to none.

And lastly..

Mozilla.org - FIREFOX.. No explanation needed. heart

The NES had great games, great classics that kept me on that tiny and very uncomfortable controller, so here are many of the Nintendo NES games on a on-line emulator - full of awesomeness.

RetroJunk

Its retro? Need more?
If so:
its got a simple and neat layout, though might need updating, what am I saying?! Its retro, so leave it that way. lols
It takes you back to the time where cartoons were generally funny, where programs from the 90's were awesome.
