His most memorable gig was a tbrief stint as a feature writer for
Blue Swan (the in-flight magazine of Aeroflot Airlines)
at the height of the Cold War while "consulting" for the U.S. State Department..
Since returning to the States,Chris has authored major web applications for city, county and state government agencies.
He cites his appearence as a co-keynoter representing Apple at New Zealand's innaugural multimedia conference in 1994 as a professional highlight.
Following Microsoft's Bill Gates, he greeted the audience with, "Everybody here knows my predecessor. But nobody knows me. Yet our stories are really the same. Just delete six zeros."
