Fan of Get Your War On? I am. Mary and I saw David Rees some years ago when he spoke in Portland, at Powell's. He signed our first-edition GYWO books, and later I bought some limited edition prints. I still need to get those framed. Anyway, I almost died, his deadpan comic presentation was so funny. The fact that he had intelligent politics to back up the whole thing only made it better. David Rees, I am likely your biggest fan (call me!). There is now a video of a similar talk at Columbia. Enjoy.

Contacting Chris Higgins
I'm a writer based in Portland, Oregon. I mostly write for Mental Floss magazine (and their website), though I recently had a story on This American Life, and had a cover story last year in The Portland Mercury.
You can follow me on Twitter for occasional jokes, or find me on Facebook for updates on writing and utterly shameless self-promotion.
I'm also a mobile website and smartphone app developer. I work for Cloud Four. In years past, I worked with Night & Day Studios; I helped create Peekaboo Barn, Peekaboo Wild, Big Fat Lies, Life in Short, Cocktail Compass, Nick Jr.'s A-Z With Moose and Zee, Quibble, Savage Love, and a bunch of other apps.

Of course, it also helps that he's ADORABLE. Watching this on the heels of An Inconvient Truth (warning: bombastic sound track) and having attended Edward Tufte's seminar last year gives me inchoate thoughts about the comeback of the one-white-man-and-a-screen lecture presentation. Since a part of my job is to organize public lectures, it is encouraging to see ones that thrill.
