My Alphabet of Web Sites

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 4:36 PM
I found this via Christopher:
Here’s the gig…type the letter in your address bar and share the link where it takes you. Add a reason why to explain or defend yourself.

A: asisaid — Yes, yours truly comes up on the top spot for A.
B: BBC Backstage — I was just reading the other day about the new ability to manipulate BBC news coverage. Looks pretty handy.
C: Christian Hedonist — Kevin has switched names a few times, but he's as interesting as ever. Kevin's blog was the second one I ever read.
D: Drudge — Would a day be complete without my daily dose of Drudge? It might not be as pleasant as reading the Post-Dispatch, but it keeps me up-to-date when I don't have time to enjoy a leisurely paper reading.
E: Plain Package (that's ed.asisaid.com) — I'm haivng trouble viewing Ed's site right now in Safari, which is disappointing. He always has good stuff on his blog.
F: 5-Speed Cassette (falconportal.com) — Mark's blog. Another excellent blog, wherein Mark is presently laughing it up about RIAA problems.
G: Series 60 Phones and Linux (gagravarr.org) — It has been awhile since I looked at this site to assess the possibility of sync'ing my Nokia 3650 with GNU/Linux.
H: Here Somewhere: Stuff — One of my newer blogging reads from the master of the PhotoQuest, Flip.
I: ICR: Institute for Creation Research — I cannot remember when I visited this, but it was probably when I was researching sites for my Site of the Month column for the church newsletter.
J: BuzzingBye (josiah.ritchietribe.net) — Yet another great blog of a more technical nature. Josiah's on CS-FSLUG, as is Ed, mentioned above.
K: Kelley Blue Book — I haven't been there for awhile. I must not visit many “k” sites.
L: Live Page (Apple) — normally, I don't use Apple's default home page, but here it is anyway.
M: MacBytes — an excellent aggregator of Mac news.
N: News.com — CNet's tech news journal, which I use combined with Drudge to stay pretty well informed.
O: Orbit — The helpdesk/billing/monitoring area for customers at the datacenter that provides my dedicated server.
P: Palm.com — It has been awhile since I've been there! I wonder why it came up?
Q: Quezon — I found this page on Google when looking for an alternative readability checker for blogs. Christopher mentioned one a few weeks ago, but it is presently unavailable.
R: Real Software — I cannot remember the last time I was there. Odd.
S: Sakamuyo Christian Fellowship — an excellent new (almost one year old, actually!) organization that I've been helping (to a small extent) with; first and foremost it is Kevin's brainchild. Come join us for discussion!
T: Time to Believe — Michael's blog; he always has something different on there.
U: USA Network — I was looking up the history of USA Networks/HSN, Inc./InterActiveCorp. the other day; they are presently in the process of buying Ask Jeeves and spinning off Expedia.com. I was also looking at Monk, which I keep hearing good things about.
V: VersionTracker — The best place to find Mac software. I have a subscription there courtesy of my .Mac account.
W: What in Tarnation!?!? — I always need a little WIT!?!? and wisdom from Christopher.
X: XBox.com — I have no intention of buying an XBox 360, but with the announcement yesterday, I was curious to see what the actual specs were. It is depressing to see it is going to have more PowerPC goodness in it than my PowerMac G5 has. :shock:
Y: Yahooligans — this must have been an Apple included bookmark; I go to Yahoo.com sometimes, but never Yahooligans.
Z: Mac Zone — an online Mac store. I think this is another default bookmark in Safari. A better result would have been ZDNet, which I usually end up at every few days.

Re: My Alphabet of Web Sites

I need to take advantage of that version tracker subscription from .Mac.

Josiah: Yup. Now, if you just sign up for BuzzingBye.com, you can make “B” as well, next time. :)

Christopher: Yeah; it doesn’t really do all that much that I’ve found useful, but since it is free… Personally, the main reason I have .Mac is for .Mac sync, although I like having a second, non-free e-mail address to work from in case my server is having troubles.
