Acknowledgements

I suspect this is going to become a long list. I’m not planning to hit the brake.

Thanks to Bob Powers, author of the hilarious Girls are Pretty blog and of the accompanying book Happy Cruelty Day, and whose shtick I totally stole.

Thanks to my former colleague Sarah Aswell, the disturbingly talented writer whose blog layout I mostly stole.

Thanks to Morgan Sherwood and Robin Nelson, who I think did the actual Web design for Sarah’s site.

Thanks to my serial benefactor Courtney Sherwood, who helped me obtain an acceptable photo.

Thanks to Jakob Nielsen, whose top 10 blog mistakes are still required reading.

Thanks to Jesse and Paul, who helped me with a crucial calculation one dark autumn night.
