Nicholas Johnson's 1500 Bookmarks

Available for Your Use

Last Updated June 1, 2000; Unsorted Additions March 27, 2001; Last Edited May 9, 2006

Note: This resource was originally created by Nicholas Johnson in the late 1980s and early 1990s for his personal use, before the general availability of Google and other search engines. (Some "unsorted additions" -- still unsorted five years later -- were added to the end of the list in 2001.) Now that search engines are available, they will often be the most efficient means of finding what you're looking for. Nonetheless, enough people have found this resource useful over the years that it seemed worthwhile to edit it for broken links and continue to make it available from here.

As will be obvious, many of the link selections -- while still useful -- are dated. If the list were being prepared in 2006 there would be many more, and some different choices. There have been few if any links added to these lists during the 10 years prior to 2006. However, those present here were checked for accuracy by Dylan Thomas during April and May 2006; changed links were corrected, and eliminated when none could be found.

Disclaimer: Needless to say, given the number of sites (1) although the URLs were accurate and active when first entered (and when edited in 2006), they are not routinely checked and updated, and some may have since been changed, or removed, and (2) obviously I cannot and do not take any responsibility for the accuracy or other aspects of the content to which these links may lead you.

I would appreciate any feedback regarding errors that you find in using this resource, or suggestions of related Web sites you think I, and others using these links, might find useful. You can contact me via the coordinates linked from http://www.nicholasjohnson.org. Thank you. -- Nicholas Johnson, June 11, 2006
