Eddie Codel has been a core organizer of the Webzine conference series since it's inception in 1998. Server monkey and geek-for-hire by day, after hours Eddie likes to get freaky with technology in ways that bring people together or make them run in fear. Too this end, he has directed freaky technology with SRL, a local menacing machine arts group. Eddie has also helped bring activists together using technology to flex their collective political muscle. He likes furry animals, shag rugs, colorful polyester shirts and any excuse blow town for a bit.

Jackson West has been writing stories for a long time, but except for a brief period of sterotypical Beat posturing on the Lower East Side when he pretended to prefer a typewriter, he's typed them into a computer. Of all the advances in technology, he's most pleased that publishing no longer involves a dot matrix printer in any way, though he can appreciate it as lo-fi kitsch. Lately he's been attempting to 'get to the bottom of things,' with varying degrees of success. Oh, and he's editor at SFist.com.
