Anyone use this site?

POP | 辞書

It's my favorite tool for reading Japanese because it provides the furigana and meaning for the kanji. A much better learning tool than using an online translator.

Anyone know of any other similar sites?

Well there's Rikai of course: http://www.rikai.com/perl/Home.pl

and I used to use this place: Reading Tutor Homepage

Whenever I want to print out pages from, wiki, for example, I use this:
http://www.hiragana.jp/

It attaches furigana to the top of kanji, and from what I've seen the readings it gives are usually spot on.

From what I can remember it works best in IE and Firefox, but I haven't used it for a little while now.

I would have enjoyed whatever it is you were posting, but I am lacking the character implements to view the web pages. Right now I am scrolling through miles of blocks with little ratios drawn into there centers.

Wow! Thanks for those awesome links!

That hiragana.jp is wicked but being the lazy bastard I am, I'd probably read the furigana all the time and not learn anything... although it'd be a great tool for the times you're in a rush.

I'll try out the rikai.com for now.

Thanks again for the suggestions!

Yeah, got to love Rikaichan.

For those who use Google Chrome, you can download a beta version of chrome to use extensions.
Here: https://chrome.google.com/extensions?hl=en-US

Once downloaded you can look for a port of Rikaichan called Rikaikun.
It's a little buggy compared to Rikaichan, but if your using Google Chrome it's quite useful.

If you can't read Japanese on your computer, what are you doing trying to read Japanese on your computer?

I did not know about this. This is quite useful! It will come in handy if I want to print something out. I didn't know you could ruby on the web (in fact, I think I said otherwise on JF a couple days ago)!
