i can’t continue to build this site without a shout out to my friend and mentor, aaron boodman, programmer extraodinaire. not only will the coolness factor of the completed mindonfire site depend heavily on the (freely downloadable) dhtml components he developed, but he has also taught me: that there are at least 40 different covers for “hit me baby one more time”, the joy of punk/ska, how to debug javascript, and so much more.

but most of all, he has taught me, through his example, the meaning of dedication. the man does nothing half-heartedly, and though he not far into his legal drinking years (may he have many of them!) he is already making waves in the dhtml world. thanks aaron, and good luck in atlanta::
