The sites I visit

Hello!

Waterloo for the long weekend, voted yesterday, and visiting with family. It’s a good time.

I’ve been playing with structured data a lot lately (more than usual, maybe). Sometimes we generate this data intentionally, like assembling a spreadsheet or database. But sometimes it happens accidentally, and we then extract it.

In that spirit, here’s a dataset of sorts, of the suggested URL that comes up when I type a letter in Firefox:

c,https://calendar.google.com/

This collection suggests that academic research is a big part of my browsing, along with personal organization apps. Maybe you see trends here that I don’t. I’m glad to see all those sites are HTTPS-enabled.

Yay for a tiny bit of personal transparency! All the best for the week ahead.
