Well, this was an interesting week. The post on Jamie Livingston's Polaroid "Photo of the Day" project has gone nuts -- picked up on 270+ blogs, 8,000+ Diggs, 114 comments, and it's still rolling. I'm proud of the post, and grateful to be the one to bring Livingston's work to general web awareness. Go read it, but make sure you have a hanky handy.

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.
