I am a software developer, lover of dogs (especially Siberian Huskies), playing and listening to music, hoppy Northwest microbrews, good friends, and the great outdoors.
Originally from the Boston area, I now reside in Puget Sound outside of Seattle, Washington, USA.
Thanks for stopping by my homepage.
Websites
Here are several other websites I maintain.- Chris' Blog - my public web notebook.
- Chris' SmugMug - my digital photos.
Networks
With the exception of LinkedIn, I was slow to warm to the whole social networking thing. Now I'm fairly active.- Chris on Facebook.com - connect to me on Facebook.
- Chris on LinkedIn.com - professional contacts please connect to me on LinkedIn.
- @AlpineLakes - my personal Twitter feed.
Music
I used to own a lot of albums. Then I started collecting CD's. Then I ripped them all and put them on a Linux box. Now I just carry around a smartphone and stream via Spotify and Soundrop :)- Chris on Spotify - my favorite tracks and published playlists.
- Chris' AlpineLakes Room on Soundrop - a funky and eclectic mix of beats for creative lovers of electronic music and related generes. Tune in while you compute and enjoy!
Projects
I recently launched a new blog and have started releasing details about the Encapsule Project - a software framework that uses electric circuit data flow graphs for building software from re-usable plug-ins.- Encapsule Project Blog - whitepapers, screenshots, and planning for open source release on GitHub.

Toys
- Mutating Spirograph Screen Saver Pack for Windows - a collection of small screensavers for Windows I wrote a long time ago. Still very cool to watch.
Demo: Download and unzip the archive which contains ~20 .SCR files. Double-click any of the .SCR's to view immediately. No installation necessary.
Installation: Simply copy the unzipped .SCR files to %WINDIR%\System32 (C:\Windows\System32 on most Windows installations). Then select via the Windows Screen Saver configuration control panel.
