These people are the magic behind the music, responsible for the day-in, day-out task of keeping the home fires burning in the Webmonkey belly:

Michael Calore
Michael is Webmonkey's Editor in Chief. He is also the ringleader and publisher of snackfight.com. Before his Webmonkey days, Michael has worked as a graphic designer, writer, bridge builder, disc jockey, and know-it-all webmaster. Michael is a musician, a Sun Ra evangelist, a bamboo horticulturist, and a feverish fan of the film Rockers. He sees nothin' but blue skies, and tends to over analyze Ween songs.

Paul Adams
Paul is Webmonkey's resident acronympho, covering the likes of PHP, DNS, RUBY, and SOAP with startling aplomb and fiendish regularity — he's by far Webmonkey's most prolific contributor. (Yay!) Paul lives in New York, where he eats gourmet doughnuts by day and poplocks by night. He also just got his driver's license, so be careful crossing the street, New Yorkers!

Robert Capili
Rob is a ColdFusion and Java developer. When he isn't busy developing, he spends his time surfing, dancing up a storm at one of Monterey's salsa clubs, and playing guitar.

Steve Champeon
Steve is CTO of hesketh.com and founder of Webdesign-L. He is convinced that if you play Prince's 1999 album as the soundtrack to the 1971 version of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, the Oompa-Loompas will generally have a much better time.

Scott Gilbertson
Scott runs his own private opium den at Luxagraf. He is no longer trying to use Flash to cook dinner. In between writing gut-wrenchingly awesome articles for Webmonkey, Scott travels the world. He was last seen on a beach in Goa pretending to be the first guy who had the idea for a movie about a lovable talking pig.

Michael Kay
After several years as interface developer for HotBot and a stint as a user experience specialist for Phoenix Pop (and teaching at SF State University), Michael is now travelling the world and writing stirring books, such as The Web Wizard's Guide to Flash. Graphics, HTML, dHTML, JavaScript, and VBScript are part of his regular diet, but he's also trying to find time to get back to studying martial arts and Chinese medicine. In addition to writing Webmonkey tutorials, he's been known to randomly update his site, Peep.org.

Jay Patrikios
First of all, Jay is really dumb. When he tires of being really dumb, he keeps his hands busy writing articles and doing odd design projects for Webmonkey. He has also been known to: employ fisticuffs to defend the honor of PBR, unhinge his jaw to make room for more raw vegetables, and duathalon a whole lot. Yay, Jay!

Heidi Pollock
Heidi has been writing for the Web for over ten years. When she isn't updating her FAQ, she can be found penning crochet manifestos or debating whether she should live on a boat.

Paul Sobocinski
Paul is the co-founder of Darwin POS Solutions. He enjoys the soothing sounds of Diana Krall while coding, and has an insatiable appetite for oranges and reruns of Trailer Park Boys.

Alanna Spence
Alanna Spence is a freelance Web developer and aspiring artist. When she's not updating Angrypirate, she's baking cookies and other fine pastries for her pals at Flickerbox.

Stefan Smagula
Stefan works as an Internet consultant in Austin, Texas. He also lectures in the Science, Technology and Society program at the University of Texas at Austin. Together with Tim Ziegler, Stefan has written a rock opera about robots.

Evany Thomas
Evany is Webmonkey's former managing editor. She puts the "err" back in "cuterrific." When it comes to sweater-shoe ensembles, she always doubles down. Jokers are wild, but the frenetic pace of her nauseating multimedia puns is wilder (the terms "nothin' but Net" and "e-merse yourself" have been used, folks). Evany, an ENFP, is the author of The Secret Language of Sleep from McSweeney's. She encourages you to discover your ideal sleeping position by taking her sleep test.

Andy Volk
Andy is a product manager at Yahoo. When he's not toiling away in San Francisco's underground sugar caves, he's checking out interactive fiction and generally keeping it more 1980s than an Infocom softball game

Tim Ziegler
Tim's first Web browser was Lynx, and, why, times were different then. He'd be happy to tell you about it after his nap. He has written for the San Francisco Chronicle, the Oakland Tribune, the Austin-American Statesman, and other fine print publications, as well as Excite, Mother Jones' MoJo Wire, and Mercury Center. But his favorite job was working for Webmonkey. He taught kids in Oakland and grown-ups in Texas how to make Web sites. His band, The Fence Cutters, is still on heavy rotation in the Webmonkey quad's CD player.
