[edit] Introduction

I have many areas of interest, but for now I will only list the ones that I am currently spending the most time with. These are: computers and information technology, the world wide web, graphic design and illustration, and digital media (multimedia, audio, and video).

[edit] About my username

"Chip Runner" is the title of a short story written by Robert Silverberg. I saw the title in 1995 when I was looking through Isaac Asimov's books in the science fiction section of a bookstore near my home. I don't remember exactly where I saw the story mentioned, but from that point on I've been using the alias chiprunner online. It was eight years after I first found out about the story that I read it and found out what it was about.

"Chip Runner" can be found in Secret Sharers (The Collected Stories of Robert Silverberg Volume 1) (ISBN 0553370685).
