I'm a writer and iPhone programmer living in Portland, Oregon, focusing on the intersection between technology and daily life. I'm currently working on several iPhone apps and a novel, and you can catch my work in the latest issue of Mental Floss magazine; I also write a daily blog at the same location, and you can follow me on Twitter for occasional jokes.

Need to contact me? Click the following link, follow the instructions, and you'll have my email address: get Chris's email address.

Note: I'm not the (apparently famous) hockey player with the same name! You'll have to find his homepage in order to contact him.
