I am Christopher R. Maden; more info is available on my home page.

I started using Wikipedia when I was testing work-related stuff at Metaweb. I now live in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

My hobbies include 태권도 and Libertarian politics, when I’m not messing about with markup languages; I contributed in small ways to the creation of HTML 2.0 and XML, as well as related languages XLink, XPointer, XPath, and XSL.

My Erdős number is 5, via Steve De Rose, Andries van Dam, John Hughes, and Jeffrey Shallit. My Bacon number is 3 if documentaries count, via Pursuit of Equality with Rosie O’Donnell, Beautiful Girls with Matt Dillon, and Wild Things.

I have friends who worked on CRISM, but so far as I know, it was not named after me.
