Chris Miller, whose handle is the appropriately-named "CodeShaman," is currently the lead developer for www.Podiobooks.com, and a developer at the world's first human-powered search engine, www.Mahalo.com.

From a technical standpoint, Miller prides himself on being something of a jack-of-all-trades, and has made it a point to learn Microsoft, Sun, and Open Source methods of web/desktop application development. Since 1994, he has designed and/or developed all manner of applications, from E-commerce web storefronts to enterprise-wide billing and invoicing systems. Somehow, he's also lived to tell about it.

Miller is more than a coding wizard. He is/has been: a son, brother, husband, father, medievalist and co-founder of the Dagorhir Kingdom of Avalon, author, reporter, a major Doctor Who fan, former Science Fiction editor for Bookstacks Unlimited (the first bookstore on the web, doing trade on TELNET in 1991), co-author of Diomin and coffee shop manager.

He's also a gifted fiction writer and blogger. Find his blog, Unquiet Desperation, at http://unquietdesperation.com.
