John Makulowich's 'Awesome List'

Makulowich, a computer technology expert who died on March 11, 2007 at age 63, was known globally for his "Awesome List," a catalog of selected internet sites he found particularly useful.

He was profiled in a 1996 book, "Secrets of the Super Net Searchers: The Reflections, Revelations, and Hard-Won Wisdom of 35 of the World's Top Internet Researchers."

I just ordered a used copy (86 cents at Amazon) in the hope that it might offer a helpful morsel or three to my sad band of crack team researchers.

Not a whole lot of downside if it doesn't, really.
