# Family

[[img family-photo-2005-10.jpg size="200x200" alt="Family photo"
class="right"]] My family is the greatest source of joy in my
life. Stacy and I have been married since December 30, 1995 and are
having many wonderful adventures raising our four sons, Cameron,
Hyrum, Andrew, and Scott. One defining aspect of our family life is
our membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
([lds.org](http://lds.org)). Another essential aspect of our family
life is play. The [[LEGO]] system is a favorite toy of all the boys in
the family, and we're starting to put together a decent collection of
favorite [[games]]. We also love wrestling together and doing pretty
much anything to make each other laugh.

# Software

Since about the age of 10, (think BASIC on an Apple ][e), I've found
myself wanting to program computers more often than time generally
allows. I feel very fortunate that so much [Free
Software](http://www.fsf.org/licensing/essays/free-sw.html) exists
that I can very often find that someone else has already written the
programs that I would like to write if I had the time, (and I'm given
the freedom to adapt the software to my exact desires). I'm also very
fortunate to work for [Red Hat](http://www.redhat.com) which gives me
the opportunity to write Free Software as a full-time job.

[[img cairo-logo.png alt="Cairo logo" class="left"]] The single
software project that I've spent the most time on is the [cairo
graphics library](http://cairographics.org) which has been a
tremendous amount of fun, but it's really only interesting for other
programmers. Non-programmers might be interested in some of the other
games and toys that I've written. I share all my programs as Free
Software and I'll put more information about obtaining those programs
here soon, (please pester me if you're interested in something I've
written and cannot find it).

# Other things

I enjoy doing origami, and I've recently started studying word lists
suitable for games like SCRABBLE, (though, oddly enough, I very rarely
play any such games). I've also recently started running for exercise,
and I'm thinking of taking up indoor rock-climbing.

I have some older pages of information [about
myself](http://cworth.org/~cworth) which I still need to completely
migrate to a new location. The most significant information on the old
web pages is the collection of [papers and
talks](http://cworth.org/~cworth/papers/) that I have given.

I may be reached by email to cworth@cworth.org (shocking, isn't
it?).
