Thanks to Bill Schafer and all at Subterranean—publishing a book of online entries is still a new enough idea that this qualifies as a grand experiment. Thanks for being experimental.
Thank you to Kristine and Athena Scalzi for making my life more than the grand sum of what I write online.
Thank you to the readers of Whatever. Reading this book provides you with only half the experience of the site—the other half comes from the witty and sometimes remarkable responses the entries garner from the readers. This is why I encourage you to come read the site after you read this.
Thank you to Tim Berners-Lee for inventing this whole Web thing. It’s awfully handy.
