THE Chris Giddings's Interests
Music
WOW! What a loaded topic! I LOVE my music! However, my tastes are extremel eclectic. I range anywhere from Asian Pop to Korn. From John Mayer to Rammstein. From African cultural music, to The Black Eyed Peas. You get the idea.

The most influential artists for me at the moment are probably Jars of Clay; Jack Johnson; Morning Musume, their daughter bands; Do as Infinity; Black Eyed Peas; Vieux Diop; Youssou N'Dour; Alicia Keys; Usher; Dido; Michelle Branch; Pianosaurus; Seo Tae Ji; Silly; (Smog); Kevin Max; The Pillows; Poe; Self; Shonen Knife; Sting; tobymac; Vanessa Carlton; James Darren; Ella Fitzgerald; Duke Ellington; Billie Holiday; Nat King Cole; Louis Armstrong; DJ Sammy; Deee-Lite; Faithless; Japanese Telecom; Jem; Juno Reactor; Lemongrass; Naoki Kenji; NeoGuido; Olive; Paul Van Dyk; Projections; Sneaker Pimps; Stereo MC's; Symbion Project; Telefon Tel Aviv; Timo Maas; Tosca; Yoshinori Sunahara; Yosinori Sawara; Bach; Mozart; Chopin; Franz Ferdinand...

Okay, here we go. I'll break this down into sections.
Bio ///////// [Technology] The stuff rules my life. It's my primary motivation. I run my own computer software company here in Cincinnati, and I very much enjoy it. I hope to my first product out later this year. I also do web development, interface design and other geeky things. I LOVE my iPod. I totally started making my own music! Check it out.
[Religion] I am not religious. In fact, I prefer to consider myself rather apathetic to the entire topic.
[Entertainment] I LOVE to go dancing and to clubs. I prefer those that play more electronic music versus that pop or rock stuff. I can't dance to that. It's the raver in me. ;)
I also enjoy going out and playing DDR (Dance Dance Revolution). It's the only arcade game I'll play that I am absolutely NO GOOD AT.
Local band concerts at the Southgate House in Newport, KY are sometimes fun. Karaoke can be fun as well. I enjoy entertaining guests who rarely see me when they're at my place because I'm always cooking the food. I swear I would make a good homemaker if I wasn't so driven to run my own company.
I am not so much into sports, but I do enjoy playing Tennis, Baseball, and occasionally tag or duck duck goose. ;)
[Romance] I truly am a hopeless romantic. I prefer walks on the beach. Picnics in the park. I like to have quiet time with my significant other. However, I also need a lot of time to myself so that I can get my own work done. Software doesn't write itself. ;)
