Week 69 of mental_floss blogs

| | Comments (0)

Lessons learned this week:

  1. Everyone enjoys Wii. There are no exceptions.
  2. Hendrick's makes a fine gin. Also the little pamphlet that comes with it makes the drinker feel special.
  3. When beach-walking, I prefer the Hard Sand over the Soft Sand.
  4. Not everyone you meet on the internet is insane. Weird, maybe, but not with criminal intent.
  5. When researching, it's full-text or nothing.

And now, the blogging.

Contacting Chris Higgins

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.

Need to contact me? Click the following link, follow the instructions, and you'll have my email address: get Chris's email address.

Note: I'm not the (apparently famous) hockey player with the same name! You'll have to find his homepage in order to contact him.
