<h2>About Me</h2>
<br/>
<p>My name is Scott Chacon. I am a
<a href="http://github.com/schacon">software developer</a>,
<a href="http://git-scm.com">Git evangelist</a>, speaker,
<a href="http://progit.org">writer</a>,
<a href="http://www.tripit.com/people/schacon">world traveler</a>,
father, husband, cat rescuer, baby signer
and gorilla tamer.
Not neccesarily in that order.</p>
<p>This is my little bit-box on the web where I put
stuff that people for some inconceivable reason
might want to find out about me.</p>
<p>I work at <a href="http://github.com">GitHub</a>. And it is awesome.</p>
<p>Some other interesting things I've done:
<ul>
<li>Had dinner with the Rwandan Minister of Science and Technology</li>
<li>Did a scared E.T. impersonation in front of a crowd in Las Vegas</li>
<li>Memorized the "Countries of the World Song" from Anamanics</li>
<li>Ran for Congress (US House of Representatives, 11th District, CA)</li>
<li>Had a mountain gorilla pull on my leg</li>
<li>Ran a trail marathon on Mount Diablo</li>
<li>Performed in Oklahoma! with Zach Levi (of NBCs Chuck)</li>
<li>Flew over 100,000 miles to 31 cities in 13 countries since joining GitHub</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>If you would like to know any more about any of these, please find me
at a GitHub drinkup in your area, I'll tell you all about them.</p>
