A big thank you to Kirsten Machen and Linda Leow for both sug­gesting, within days of each other, that I start inter­viewing people again, and also for the numerous feed­back requests. Thanks also to Debbie Sykes for some on-point UX sug­gestions and to Lorna Mc­Dowell for the fre­quent iPhone testing, Mitzi Pedersen for her eagle eyes, and Travis Lyle for always being there with sensible advice. Thanks to Shar­lene Versfeld and Nashen Moodley for help­ing me to get access to so many amazing people over the years, and to Mirah Von Wicht for all the hugs and support. Spec­ial thanks to all my past editors, especially Cyril Madlada, for his im­­mediate faith in me, Debbie Reynolds, for some wonder­ful work­ing years at the In­­depend­­ent on Sat­­ur­d­­ay and for giving me free reign to produce such eclectic con­tent, to Yves Van­­der­­haeghen at the Week­end Witness for doing likewise, and to David Daley for our sadly brief working relationship at Salon. And, of course, a mas­s­­ive thank you to every­one who has spoken to me over the years. And finally, warm and ap­­­prec­­i­­a­tive thanks to YOU for read­ing, watching, and listen­­ing, and to my mother Astrid Machen for her boundless and endless love and en­­courage­­­ment.

*It would be remiss of me not to thank the hundreds of generous souls who's contribution to Stackoverflow and other forums provided the knowledge I needed to build this site. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. The impulse to share knowledge and solutions is the best thing about the internet.
