I'm a writer based in Portland, Oregon. I mostly write for
Mental Floss magazine (and their website), though I just had a story on
This American Life, and had a cover story a few weeks back in
The Portland Mercury. You can
follow me on Twitter for occasional jokes and complaints about the weather.
I'm also an iPhone developer. Working 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.

I just thought this was pretty crazy and wanted to share it with you. Take care and keep writing!
All the best!
Pat Higgins
Hey Pat,
That's crazy -- we totally look alike, and it looks like he was born just two months before me. Small, small world. :)
