Dick Oliver (dicko@netletter.com) is the tall, dark, handsome author of lots of great books and software, including Web Page Wizardry, Netscape Unleashed, Create Your Own Web Page Graphics, and Tricks of the Graphics Gurus. He is also the president of Cedar Software and the warped mind behind the Nonlinear Nonsense Netletter at http://netletter.com (and many other Web sites). When he isn't banging on a keyboard, he's usually snowboarding, sledding, skiing, or warming up by the woodstove in his cozy Northern Vermont home (where they celebrate a day of summer each year, too). He likes writing HTML, eating killer-spicy Indian food, and waltzing wildly around the office with his daughters-not necessarily in that order. He also thinks it's pretty cool that authors get to write their own "About the Authors" sections. Michael Morrison is a writer, developer, toy inventor, and author of a variety of nerdy books and interactive Web-based courses. In addition to his primary profession as a writer and geek for hire, Michael is the creative lead at Stalefish Labs (http://www.stalefishlabs.com), an entertainment company he co-founded with his wife, Masheed. The first commercial debut for Stalefish Labs is a "lounge game" titled Tall Tales: The Game of Legends, Humdingers, and Creative One-Upmanship. Michael encourages you to visit the Tall Tales game Web site at http://www.talltalesgame.com/ and buy dozens of games for your friends and family. When not glued to his computer, playing hockey, skateboarding, or watching movies with his wife, Michael enjoys hanging out by his koi pond. You can visit Michael on the Web at http://www.michaelmorrison.com/.
