Paul Flaherty, creator of the AltaVista search engine, has passed away at 42. Altavista, in my opinion, was the first 'real' search engine along the lines of today's Google and MSN Search, and it was my search engine of choice for quite a long time (in internet years). He even has a local connection: he's from the region, and his funeral will be in Fargo next week.
