My full name is Christo­pher William Hor­rell. I used to go by just Chris Hor­rell, but I got tired of that and now I pre­fer Christo­pher Hor­rell. I never use my mid­dle name. I cur­rently live in Toronto but grew up in Scarborough

I cre­ated horrell.ca as a way to force myself to write on a +semi+ reg­u­lar basis, to improve my web design skills, and to just keep up with web tech­nol­ogy in general.

I have a degree in Eng­lish and Psy­chol­ogy from the Uni­ver­sity of Toronto, a post-diploma cer­tifi­cate in Tech­ni­cal Com­mu­ni­ca­tions (Tech­ni­cal Writ­ing) from Seneca and I’m cur­rently study­ing pro­gram­ming at Ryer­son.

I worked in IT at Cana­dian Tire for about 10 years and now I work for Joyent Inc. (http://joyent.com/) as a Sys­tems Sup­port Engi­neer.
