Meet the Flockers: Chris Glass

workspace

I’m new to the flock and still getting my linking legs sturdy, but a moment to introduce myself and provide a glimpse of my workspace to boot.

Let me back up a bit.

Born on date was 1971 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Weaned on Nintendo, matchbox cars, and lots of wooded acres, I’m the youngest of four and also the tallest. I like to think a growth spurt between middle and high school made me too clumsy for basketball, but truth be told, I always threw like a girl.

If I would fast forward through the awkward years, we would end up in the future so I’ll just jump to college. Majored in Industrial Design at The Ohio State University because they closed the film school. It turned out to be a fine fit even though computers weren’t introduced into the curriculum until my senior year (that’d be 1994 for the math challenged, like myself).

After school I did a good stint making CD-ROMs and then the Internet happened—and that changed everything.

Now I’m trying to find a blend between making things in the real world and pushing pixels online. Future goals include teaching and driving across the country selling wares out of the trunk of my car.

I posted 50 things about myself a while ago on my web site, which is big and inconsistent, but I don’t have the heart to throw anything away digitally.

A hat tip to Deron Bauman for granting me posting access to this diverse group. Fingers crossed I can throw some good stuff up here. Interests include people, music, design, videogames, homemade things, and candy bars.

    Dude, if I can pull off an occasional intersting link, then I am sure you can. (I can’t believe I just typed “dude.”)
