A couple years ago I was in a book store and encountered a book about the online science community and a number of websites with interesting projects. The much despised IU and P-K both had mentions, as did PowerLabs I believe. Does anybody know the title of this book? I didn't pick it up, and now I'm regretting it, as I can't find it again.

I looked through it and didn't see 4hv, but it was published in 2003 or so, before we were quite as prominent in the hobby community. I also didn't get a chance to read through it thoroughly, so there could have been a mention that I didn't see.
