My name is Christopher Allan Webber. Welcome to my humble home. I'm not very good at hospitality, but help yourself to whatever's in the pantry. Would you like a cup of honeybush tea? There was some green tea in there too but I don't know where I put it.
I do quite a bit of artwork, I keep a blog, and I do some other writing as well. I am most happy in life when I am being creative.
Aside from writing, I do a fair amount of coding, even outside of work. Most of the code I write is written in Python, my language of choice (though I enjoy quite a few other languages as well).
I guess if you're here you might be interested in knowing a bit about me. I'm a native of Milwaukee but I currently live in Chicago. I am currently seeking employment, so if you are looking for a python programmer and web developer with active ties to the free and open source software communities, let me know! Until recently I have been working at the Participatory Culture Foundation, hacking on Miro, the Miro Guide, and other things (being free and open source software, however, I will likely continue to develop on Miro and related projects, but not in the same capacity as when employed at the PCF). Previously I was employed as a programmer at a web development company called Imaginary Landscape, and before that I worked at Google as a datacenter monkey in its Hardware Operations department. I am married to Morgan Lemmer-Webber, who has been the most wonderful and loving partner I could ever imagine. I still don't know how she manages to put up with me.
I am an avid supporter of Free Software. I run GNU/Linux exclusively, both at home and at work. My favorite applications are Emacs, Blender, and the GIMP. I run GNOME as my desktop because it is usable, though sometimes I wish it was more configurable.
Socially, I'm a bit odd. I don't like large parties or loud organizations of people I don't know. I do, however, enjoy dialogue, and if you think you'd enjoy meeting up for a cup of coffee or tea, and you're in the Chicago area, contact me.
