While most of my work these days consists of writing for newspapers, magazines, and online publications, that was not always the case.  Back in the wild and woolly days of the New Internet I was gainfully employed as a Webmaster -- back when the web was still bright and shiny and smelled good.

The story of how I became a web master is partly covered in a column that I wrote in November of 2008 called "Technology's Future Comes Calling."

The column was about new tech that was on display at the Press Unveiling Event in New York City for the 2009 International Consumer Electronics Show. If you are interested, the whole story of how I ended up becoming a Webmaster is available on my blog, appropriately enough with the title "How I became a Webmaster."

While I am no longer in the profession of Webmastery, I have been known to occasionally undertake web design projects -- in fact I designed this site -- and I may be available for the right project, though mostly I work on a volunteer basis.

Time permitting I donate my services as a web designer / webmaster to non-profit organizations. I provide consultation and review services, and I can be reached via email at chris@boots-faubert.com.

In addition to this website, I have designed and/or served as webmaster for the following sites:

• Church of the Free Electron (CoTFE)
  A small website that tracked the status of soda and coffee machines in campus, with web-connected sensors that tracked the temperature and quantity in each of the coffee pots, and logged time-stamps for each time the individual pots were taken off of the warmers and put back, including how long they spent away.
  
  The sensors eventually were modified to detect when a fresh pot of coffee was being brewed, and the server was configured to send out a text message indicating that a fresh pot of coffee was available to the cell phones of the folks who "subscribed" to the service.
  
  The sensors in the soda machines tracked how many cans of soda for each type was available, and what the internal temperature was for the machine.
  
  
• IIEC Boston
  IIEC was a private educational accreditations startup.
  
  
• Marine Lodge AF&AM, Falmouth, MA.
  Marine Lodge is one of the oldest Masonic Lodges in New England, and its members are some of the nicest people on earth. I am proud to be able to help the lodge by creating its website.
  
  
• Phreakwire
  Phreakwire is a video game news, preview, and review site that offers feature content for gamers.
  
  
• Replica Corporation (Fidelity Investment Challenge / Sports Illustrated Fantasy Sports)
  Replica pioneered online interactive fantasy sports and investment gaming. I served as the Webmaster and oversaw both the deployment of the network and server facilities and the creation of the games, from hiring the staff to watching them make history.
