Acknowledgments

Thanks to all the multimedia family at UNC Chapel Hill.

Thanks to my thesis chair, Pat Davison, for the constant support and hours of help; to Rich Beckman for introducing me to the multimedia world and constant mentoring and advice; to Alberto Cairo, for his continuous availability and encouragement; to Laura Ruel for always having time to talk and her constant help and support in my life in North Carolina. You all have been more than just great teachers, you have been amazing friends.

To Chris Carmichael, Jay Heinz, Phil Daquila, Mike Schmidt and Wil Weldon. Your help, support and mad skills will be always appreciated.

To Eileen Mignoni, without your constant support, encouragement and love this work (and many others) wouldn’t have been finished on time.

And last but most important, thanks to Cynthia McGowan and Wayne Oliver for letting me in your lives and allowing me to share your stories with the world.
