I like to read science fiction - especially relatively recent, hard SF, but I'm keen on Ursula LeGuin, too. I'm less keen on sci-fi movies - they always seem to get something wrong, and don't start me on Prometheus (or Silent Running).
Forums I like to hang out at include the Straight Dope (always interesting to get some reasonably accurate, skeptical opinions on controversial topics) and the Fortean Times (some crazy stuff out there in the world, which I find inspiring - and fun). For more technical matters Cosmoquest and the Celestia forum are instructive.
Blogs I like include Anders Sandberg's Andart II and Phil Plait's Bad Astronomy.
My favourite mainstream artists include Jan Vermeer, Max Ernst and Henry Moore, among many others. Space/SF artists like David Hardy, Alex Ries and William Black are very good for OA inspiration, but there are many more, including a lot on DeviantArt.
