About
Good morning / afternoon / evening, and welcome to my Web site.
My name is Chris, and I’ll be your host.
Regardless of when you read this, I am either about to or have just celebrated my 29th birthday. I have been 29 for a couple of years now and have no plans to age any further. At some point I may have to actually admit to having reached the age that follows 29, but I’m hoping that I can fake it for a few more years.
I live in Round Rock, Texas, which is a suburb of Austin, where I work. I live here with my partner, Ray, whom I’ve been with since September 2000, and our child dog, Mocha. I grew up in Ohio, and lived in DC before I came to Austin to get my Master’s degree, and I never left.
I work at a very large University located in Austin whose name I mention often in my blog. By way of my own academic background and current place of employment, I have spent a lot of time in the Arab world, particularly Egypt.
One of my most favorite hobbies is photography, which explains how we got here.
I have a “real” Web site, with blog, which you can access by clicking on the link to the right, along with my Flickr account, which is where all of the rejected photos that don’t make it into this project are stored.
