A short week, as I had my wisdom teeth out on Thursday. The surgeon said I had "hard bones!" Who knew?! Next week: my hundredth week of mental_floss blogs. Wow.

This week was pretty interesting. I think I broke the "Twitter from 1937" story -- I mean, I think mental_floss was the first major blog to link to it. At the time I put my story up, Genny Spencer had 80 followers, now she's pushing 1,000.

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.
