Disclaimer: I just spent a few minutes hacking up a URL ABC list. The URLs listed below are not uniformly interesting or even uniformly uniform. K, Q and X have been evicted from the alphabet (no results). The list was also tweaked to not include anything secure, firewalled, local, or embarrassing. Also, this is from my work computer, and my home PC is probably a different story. Anyway.
These are my URL ABCs:
- A is for ads.google.com - still trying to collect a few coins with this system.
- B is for bloglines.com/myblogs - my rss reader. 49 feeds and counting.
- C is for christieburke.com - C is also for conifers.
- D is for dnord.com - makes sense. Probably my most visited site.
- E is for en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1982 - why, it’s my most recent wikipedia search (research for a blog post a few down)
- F is for flickr.com/photos/friends - I suppose I check this fairly often.
- G is for gmail.google.com - I use Gmail full-time. No email client on my machines.
- H is for heavytrash.blogspot.com/2005/04/april-24-2005-for-immediate.html - checked this yesterday. No idea why it shows up first.
- I is for imdb.com/name/nm1551787/bio - creator (and star) of LazyTown, Magnus Scheving. Happens to be the last guy I looked up there.
- J is for jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=JPost/JPArticle/ShowFull&cid=1111980180248 - ah, nutty Korea.
- L is for lollapalooza.com/default.asp?fd=1 - the festival becomes a one-off. Should be a good show, though.
- M is for my.yahoo.com - still my homepage after all these years.
- N is for news.google.com - I check this about once a day.
- O is for outlet.philips.com/b2c_redesign/b2c/menuHandling.do?query=30PW850H99&shop=OUTLET&AID=10303851&PID=268435&SID=995 - Jer sent me this. Apparently I looked at it.
- P is for pitchforkmedia.com - all hail Pitchfork!
- R is for rachelsminutiae.com - it’s Rachel!
- S is for slashdot.org - not actually my job.
- T is for typepad.com - I have to go here to post to my weblog now.
- U is for upcoming.org/metro/us/mn/tc - I love this site. WHY DOES NOBODY ELSE LOVE THIS SITE?!
- V is for verizonwireless.com/b2c/index.jsp - phone research.
- W is for workingforchange.com/column_lst.cfm?AuthrId=43 - you can read This Modern World’s blog, or you can cut straight to the comics here.
- Y is for yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/04/24/1228234&threshold=3&tid=123&tid=109&tid=188&tid=95 - JPEG lawsuit.
- Z is for zappos.com/n/p/dp/1506580/c/585.html - I believe I’ve mentioned: cutest shoes on the planet.
Now you do it!
