Happy birthday, Chris Courtney

We’ll pause a moment here to wish a happy VizEds birthday to Chris Courtney of the Chicago RedEye. Chris turns 33 today.

Chris is one of the more gregarious folks you’ll ever meet. I hope you attended his wonderful multimedia-laden presentation in Orlando last summer. If you did, fear not: He’s been hitting the QuickCourse circuit lately. Perhaps he’ll visit your town soon. He’s definitely worth your time.

There are all sorts of interesting things at Chris’ personal web site, including links where you can find high-rez movie and TV studio photos and a rather scary collection of photos he took in Orlando of designers from around the world, wearing his giant foam Arkansas Razorback pig hat.

Chris shares a birthday with Tom Cruise, Ken Russell, Dave Barry and Franz Kafka. Heh. One of those seems like he doesn’t belong to that list. Plus, today is National Compliment Your Mirror Day. Seriously.

Happy birthday, my friend! Best wishes to you!

    Happy birthday, man. Hey, that Swamp sign — we’ll probably need that up in Boston. :)

    I believe that’s an Arkansas Razorback … Arizona has more reptilian wildlife.

    Happy Birthday, Chris!

    D’oh! Fixed. Thanks, John.
