making your own home page for your web browser instead of using browser's bookmarks

 

Convenient links to bookmark


☸24🐘 is really all you need, everything else is listed on the homepage there, or one level down from the homepage. Those 3 above are the 3 links I use the most.
🚣 has audio links for the most important suttas.
 EBpedia📚 serves as a website index of all the articles, as well as being an EBT wikipedia of the most important terms.
frankk‍: has links to my forums and blogs

What I do and you should think about doing, is making your own browser homepage, containing all the useful links above, and sorted in a way that's useful to you instead using browser bookmarks.

to do that, just save this email or cut and paste everything into a microsoft word document (it will copy html and save the hyperlink info).
Then save that microsoft doc file as an html file.  Load up that html file with your web browser, go to your settings page and it has an option for you to set current page as your home page for that browser.

For example, these are some web links I have from my homepage. you can see it's way more compact and designed to be easy for me to use (compared to using browser bookmarks).

(after laughter from audience, he explains): People have to test things out, and internalize for themselves before they can absorb important advice and be able to use it.  A quick story about who Edward Thorp is, and why you should pay attention to what he says. One time at a party he asked Richard Feynman (Nobel prize physicist) if it was possible to beat the casino at the roulette wheel. Feyman said it was impossible. Normally, when a genius tells you something is not possible you believe him. Thorpe didn't believe him, and went on to team up with another genius Claude Shannon (father of the Digital communication industry, he invented the theory behind digital computers before there was even computer hardware!

  Yeonmi Park is a human rights activist, her life story is incredible.  This interview video is long, 2 hours, but totally riveting and worth watching. Turning on CC for text of her Korean accented English may be helpful.  If you're not familiar with her, she has a 10 minute TED talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLzTo-y8Ef0 Some spoilers from that 2 hour interview,  if like me, you're skeptical about spending 2 hours of your time and need some justification. She escaped with her family from North Korea into China, where she's part of China supported human slave trafficking (sex slave included) starting at the age of around 13. She, her sister, and mom were all sold into slavery. China supports this, because of the one child policy causing so many female fetuses to be aborted,  they have 30 million men with no potential female partners. China is also propping up the North Korean gov't.  She became a mistress of a slave trader, who was violent, abusive, but did help
