I don't endorse things on a regular basis. However, when I do endorse something I put all my weight behind it. This is considerable considering my gym time has been lacking as of late. (Off topic: G and I bought bikes last week and took them out to Balboa Park yesterday. It was awesome.)
Anyway, I like to push things that I really enjoy in the hopes that the movie, artist, product, or service does very well and continues to put out great movies, music, products, or services. In no particular order, here are the things that I am strongly endorsing at the moment. You will not be disappointed. BTW, I am always on the lookout for new, cool stuff so feel free to comment on what you are currently promoting.
TIVO - Get it now. No more questions. It will change your life and save your marriage.
Threadless.com - Purveyors of uber cool shirts. I just bought this one today. I would recommend getting on their mailing list since the newest, coolest ones sell out very quickly. I'm talking within hours sometimes.
Answers.com - This is my new favorite website. It literally has answers to everything. I was able to settle an argument about the origins of baby corn at a party by pulling this website up on my Blackberry. Add it to your bookmarks.
Nate + Jaclyn - Simply fantastic photographers. They did our wedding and my sister's wedding. We actively keep up with their blog to see their current work. If you are in the Southern California you need to check them before they get so popular that you can no longer afford them.
The Office - Have you been watching this show? Lordy it is ridiculously funny. Extra funny if you work, or have ever worked, in an office setting.
Chili Fries - I don't have a link for this one but Chili Fries freakin rock.
The Simpsons (pre-2000)- This one doesn't really count per my above description of supporting things in the hopes that they will continue to do well but I just had to mention it. The Simpsons rock so hard it is difficult to comprehend. Specifically, seasons 3 through about 7. Ya, ya, "I have seen the Simpsons and they are pretty funny." Watch these older episodes again on DVD to with your finger on the rewind button and your laptop on your lap to try and keep up with all the subtle and hilarious references.
If you hang out with me on a regular basis at all these are all familiar to you since I talk about them constantly. Sorry.

I know it is a faux paus to post comments on your own blog but I just had to share this review of The Simpsons DVD, Season 4 from Amazon.com. It is one of the worst reviews I have ever read. Kids today... (*sigh*)
MORE SEASONS, NOOOOOOOOO!, January 1, 2006
A Kid's Review
The more the simpsons go on, the more they SUCK! the fist 2 or 3 seasons were ok, but then they get dumb, and not at all funny!! the comidy has already been done in other shows, or other seasons, or it is just plain STUPID! If you like comidy buy Family Guy! The comidy in that is at it's heighest! Some of the comidy in that is pretty funny, and not as repetitive! And Family Guy has actually funny Slap-Stick humor, unlike season 4 and up on the simpsons!! DO NOT BUY THIS, I GARANTEE THAT YOU WILL NOOOOOOOOOT LAUGH YOUR GUTS OUT!
Ever see that Will Ferrell movie "Kicking & Screaming"? Not a very good movie, but there's this awesome scene where Ferrell's character full-out pushes this kid to the ground.
Sometimes it just has to be done.
I like all the things you mentioned. But, what about Netflix? The convenience just can't be beat.
Oh man. Threadless. *SWOON* I must own at least 10 shirts from there.
