I'm Tim Chambers, a.k.a. tbc. If you google me you'll see that there is also poetry by Tim Chambers in the top search results, but my poetry is different from the netpoets.com Tim Chambers or, for that matter, any of the Tim Chambers poets at poetry.com. Googling 1E4AF729D5CEFFD0 returns content unique to me.

African orphans The mission of Chosen Children International (CCI) is to break the cycle of poverty for orphans and destitute children in developing nations by extending Christ's love to them. CCI endeavors to give children the skills necessary to break the poverty cycle by giving them educational opportunities, spiritual and emotional counseling, nutritional support, and by giving them a chance to live in our holistic children's villages where they will be taught to be effective leaders of their societies.

I currently blog at livejournal.com (RSS), but I'm publicizing the link as a PURL: purl.org/net/tbc/blog. I need to update "How I Blog" to reflect what I present on this page: tweets, stumbles, and selected blog entries. I also share the music I'm listening to at last.fm, and I use LibraryThing to share the list of my favorite books.

I like Flickr.

My Tweets My Stumbles My Blog   www.flickr.com

Thanks to backupmytweets.com, I can share snapshots of my Twitter stream in the following formats: HTML, XML, and JSON formats. And thanks to twistory.net for giving me the example so that now you can also download my stream in iCalendar format. You can add my Twitter stream to your Google calendar, too. How cool is that?! All I had to do was write a converter: bumtXML2ics.pl.

Also see my Tweeple page, where I prototype a view of my corner of the Twitterverse organized the way I want.

Words that describe me are: Christian, Anglican/Episcopalian, Promise Keeper, Colorado native, MIT alumnus, Hewlett-Packard round-tripper, Agilent Technologies charter employee and alumnus, software engineer, cancer survivor, and independent journalist.

My personal biography is brief. My professional page is brief; my professional biography isn't so brief. I've done a little traveling.

The text ads in this section sometimes represent my commercial interests. Right now, they're just plugs for a couple of pages of my own choosing.
