Thank You
We need to thank the following people:
Alan
I
would like to thank the following
people...
My wife Dana for supporting me
through this process.
All the bloggers
who gave permission for us to reprint their work. I mean all of
you!
Martin Streicher, my editor, who
championed this book.
Bonnie Burton
(co-editor), who was instrumental with getting this book off the ground.
Rick Karr, Pamela Ribon, & Jack
Boulware. Thanks for your hard work!
Doc
Searls, thanks for the beautiful Foreword and the kind
words.
Wil Wheaton, thanks for the moral
support when I was discouraged.
All of
the people at my publisher, Apress, who worked hard to put this book
together.
------
Bonnie
I
would like to thank the following
people...
My friends and family who all
thought it was about time I stop living
the
life of a troubled writer and be legit by
publishing a book for a change.
All the
bloggers (both in the book and those who didn't make the
final
cut) whose stories were full of
weirdness, compassion, humor, insight
and
inspiration. I dug your writing styles so
much that I have a few of you
listed on my
own blog (Bonnie Blog on Grrl.com). The Autopsy Report
still
gives me
chills!
Neil Forrester, Ali Davis,
Allison Lowe, Christopher Allbritton,
Choire
Sicha, Heather Armstrong, Janet
Feeney, Mark Frauenfelder, Matthew
Baldwin,
Matt Hinrichs, Uncle Bob, Wil Wheaton and other bloggers in
the
book who not only gave us great blog
entries to use in the book, but also
let me
interview them so we could sneak farther into their
psyche.
Alan Graham (co-editor), who
asked me to be his partner in crime with
this
book just when I needed a huge
distraction from my soap opera-esque
life.
Martin Streicher who not only
went to bat for us with the Apress folks,
but
suggested a few blogs I wouldn't have found on my
own.
Jack Boulware and the other
advisors for agreeing to be part of
this
little blog project of
ours.
John Burton (my fake cousin) who
drew some snazzy illustrations for the
book
including our portraits. If I ever become famous, you are
sooooo
drawing my portrait for my scandalous
tell-all book.
The folks at Apress who
let us do our thing, even when the title of
this
book sounded like an episode of "Ricki
Lake."
My AIM buddies who chatted with
me while I edited unless entries til the
wee
hours. That means a shoutout to Rob, Becca, Erin, Scott, Paula,
Steve,
Wiley, Bill, and Teresa. There is no
emoticon that can express how
thankful I am
to you all.
Any future boyfriends or
impressive celebrities who decide to woo me
for
my efforts with this
book.
Bloggers everywhere who fill the
Web with something more worthwhile than
porn
and popup ads.
