Unlike typical browser "favorites"/"bookmarks", most of these links are infrequently visited (low-traffic). These are here because they're too valuable to be forgotten. A minority of links are simply underrated.
To reduce redundancy, if any of these URLs is included anywhere in my GH-Pages domain or my GH Profile-README, they'll be removed from this page.
