Welcome, mental_floss readers!

Well, my first work in the print version of mental_floss arrived through the mail slot today, and I'm all up in the Contributors section! This is also the week I started blogging for the web site -- the first of many weeks, hopefully. Soon I shall be doing mental_floss's dishes and perhaps I can go over and water their plants while they're on vacation...as long as I get a byline, I'm there. Anyway, in the meantime you can view my first week's blog posts:

UPDATE - here's the second week's worth of blogging:

As you can see, I'm covering technology, nerd culture, that sort of thing. This month's print magazine contains some of my work in the Scatterbrained section (the HAIR bit), and upcoming issues will feature additional Scatterbrainification, on subjects I mustn't divulge.

Those wishing to drop me a line or hoping to read entertaining, cryptic comments made by my pseudonymous friends may enjoy the newly fabulized Chris Higgins Myspace page. Friendship available by request.

Contacting Chris Higgins

I'm a writer living in Portland, Oregon, focusing on the intersection between technology and daily life. I'm currently working on a series of historical fiction books for middle readers, and you can catch my work in the latest issue of Mental Floss magazine; I also write a daily blog at the same location.

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.
