Chris does “Other Stuff” …
He has a personal blog for lighter topics and anything that doesn’t fit here. While enjoying snow sports, such as snowboarding and ice skating, he is not very good at them and spends a lot of time hurting his … pride. As a keen amateur photographer he loves Flickr so much it is possibly unhealthy.
Chris also writes books …

ProBlogger: Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income
As the name suggests, it’s mainly about making money with blogs, but anyone who wants to create a compelling blog for any reason would get a lot out of it I am sure.
The geeks and techies amongst you might have seen one of Chris’ earlier works, on topics with mainstream appeal such as GDI+ programming. If you are really curious you can still find Chris’ older books on eBay, Amazon used, in junk shops and second hand markets.
That’s Eric not Chris pictured on the Wrox one. Chris also contributed to the ASP.NET cookbook, a collaboration between all of the ASPAlliance authors.
Press Releases
Chris does not post press releases or write about press releases. If you have an interesting piece of news to share then please do not copy and paste press releases into the contact form or email, it will only be deleted!
Product Reviews
Occasionally Chris will review products. Some of these products are purchased, some are sent for review, but there are NO paid reviews on this or any of Chris’ sites, and positive reviews are never promised. From time to time the links to products could be affiliate links which means if you purchase through the link there may be a commission. At no point does this relationship alter the nature of the article, recommendations are only made when genuinely beneficial. Contact Chris if you would like your product reviewed, but keep in mind reviews are not guaranteed to be posted, particularly if the review is likely to be negative.
Finally …
Chris was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada in 1974. He lives in the UK with his wife, daughter, 14 year old cat and Cocker Spaniel pup. In the family hierarchy Chris comes last. Having lived in Yorkshire, England for the majority of his life you can’t tell he is Canadian from his accent but he has been known to say “Eh?”. Sometime soon they are moving back to Canada for good. Chris only writes in the third person when he wants to gain a better Google ranking for his own name. He hopes people will forgive him this once.
