I’d like to thank the following people/sites for helping me create this bittersweet amalgam.

• wordpress.org - obviously.
• Jori Avlis, author of the beautiful “dark liquidcard 2.0 theme”.  Although I’ve changed quite a bit of it, a modified version of his .css still governs the core.
• This site for providing the wonderful glyphs I used for my fisheye icons.
• While I’m on the topic, Marc Grabanski and John Kolbert for the fisheye menu code.
• Ulf Benjaminsson, creator of the ajax side bar plugin wp-dtree.
• The NextGen DEV-Team for the thickbox effects of NextGen Gallery.
• Mike Smullin for the AJAX Comments plug in.
• Arne Brachhold for the Google XML Sitemaps plug in.
• Orangoo Labs for the pop-up window that doesn’t suck.
• Hector Carreon for the Hunab Ku symbols in the banner, which (I hate to point out to him and all his new ager buddies), is not actually Mayan… it was falsely identified that way in 87 by Jose Arguelles and everyone in that community has run away with it since.
• Feedburner
• Michael Weingärtner for the cystat plugin
• Oliver Seidel  for the cstats II plugin (used in the contact me form)
