Owen Briggs is an independent web designer based in Victoria, Canada. Like so many people, he was introduced to personal computers in 1978 with the Commodore PET and hasn’t stopped playing with them since. On-line he is currently a member of the Web Standards Project and perpetrator of www.thenoodleincident.com. Off-line he tries to maintain his privacy.

Steven Champeon is the Chief Technology Office for hesketh.com. On a number of hesketh.com projects, he has developed and/or supervised large-scale Web site technical architectures, information architectures, and applications for Internet and intranet use. Steven has provided technical editing on the topics of XML, XHTML, and other Web-related topics for IDG Books Worldwide (now known as Hungry Minds), MIS:Press, O'Reilly and Associates, and Macmillan/New Riders.

Eric Costello is a web developer for hire, working out of his company Schwa. He is currently helping to build The Game Neverending (www.gne.net). He maintains a personal site at glish.com, where he links to articles on Web standards, Flash, DHTML, CSS, XML, and other topics of interest to web developers. He helped usher in the era of CSS page layouts by offering information and CSS templates for free download. He is an emeritus of the Web Standards Project steering committee, and the developer for Stewart Butterfield's 5K Contest, along with being a pretty lousy guitar player, photographer, husband and father.

Matt Patterson is an independent typographer based in Reading, England. Introduced to the web in 1996 he was building sites immediately and became interested in CSS when he realized it meant you could do actual typography on the web. These days he mostly spends his time designing and building websites and web applications based on open standards at the front- and back-end. He thinks that specifications - the main product of pre-DTP typographers, are a lot like CSS, and that this is a good thing. He lives with his wife, Clare.
