Remember how you used to learn your ABCs in a primer that had
cute little pictures of giraffes and xylophones? Kids today are so
much more sophisticated, and they spend a lot of time on the Net.
So I thought it would be apropos to create an ABC list for the
current day, composed of only websites.
To make the game interesting, I followed these (made-up and
arbitrary) rules:
- The web site must be in my current bookmarks or cache.
- Of all the sites listed in my computer, I'll pick the most
frequently visited first, or if they're all pretty rarely visited,
the most interesting.
Not only will you get your ABCs, but you'll get a little insight
into Your Humble Author.
I've always wanted to start a viral thing on the web, and maybe
this will be it. Everyone should have an ABC link list that is used
to get to know you a little better. C'mon, it's
The Lite Side's ABC Link List Primer
- and it's fun!
