My name is Chris Winters. I’m married to Barbara Alsko and we have one kid (Ella) and three cats (Richard, Wanda, and Annabel). I currently work at Turnitin as a software developer and engineering manager, and you can find out more boring work-related stuff at LinkedIn.

You can get a good idea of what I’ve been into online by following my Pinboard feed, which holds bookmarks I’ve been accumulating since about 2004.

Things I’m more or less into in real life:

• Being a dad
• Vegetable gardening
• Keeping up with technology stuff, including feed reading (via NewsBlur) and meeting up with various Pittsburgh groups – I have frequently haunted the Ruby and Go meetings, sometimes JavaScript and probably more Python coming up.
• Reading (fiction and comic books are the consumables right now)
• Running (fairly slowly)
• Bicycling
