# Family

[[!img family-photo-2005-10.jpg size="200x133" 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 [Intel](http://www.intel.com), (and previously,
[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).

I've presented [[talks]] about several of my software projects which
might be interesting to read about. I've always posted the slides I've
presented, and I've recently started doing much better writeups so
people that didn't hear me speak alongside the slides can still
understand them.

# Other things

When I'm not at home, I'm likely [rock climbing](rock_climbing), or
maybe hiking in the Columbia gorge with my family. When I'm home, I'm
often trying to learn to play the piano, (I love the work of Chopin,
but can't play much of anything yet), doing origami, or playing
[[games]] with my family. I'm toying with the idea of implementing
several networked games over at
[friendlygames.org](http://friendlygames.org).

I may be reached by email to cworth@cworth.org (shocking, isn't
it?). I'm always glad to hear any response you might have to anything
I've written here.
