Acknowledgments

The three greatest friends this book ever had have been Liz Danzico, Howard Rheingold and Christina Wodtke. very simply, Everyware would not exist without their influence; my gratitude to them is immense. I would also like to thank Peter Morville and Jeffrey Zeldman for their crucial early enthusiasm.

At Peachpit, Nancy Aldrich-Ruenzel showed extraordinary faith in my vision for this book, affording me leeway few authors ever enjoy; I was both moved and inspired. I would like to thank Marjorie Baer, Michael Nolan and Camille Peri for their insightful and untiring efforts on behalf of this book.

I would particularly like to thank my editor, Dan Littman, for being a stickler when I needed him to be, and indulging me otherwise. Everyware is immeasurably better for his exertions.

I owe untold debts of gratitude to my wonderful hosts: at the University of Oslo's InterMedia program, Andrew Morrison and Idunn Sem; Spreeblick's Johnny Haeusler and Tanja Kreitschmann; at Ci'Num, Marcel Desvergne,
