I’m Jeff Hodges.
I can be emailed and IM’ed (through GTalk) at jeff@somethingsimilar.com.
I have a Facebook account, a Twitter account and a Github account.
(I do have an AIM account, but I’m limiting its use right now.)
I graduated from Bowling Green State University in 2006 with a major in Physics.
I sometimes read dictionaries for fun.
Encyclopedia Brown was one of my favorite series of books as a kid.
I like to dance.
I often forget to eat meals. My friends worry about that. Fortunately, no one has misunderstood and said “Jeff, you’re anorexic” because I don’t think they would believe “No, I’m just terribly forgetful” by that point. I mean, have you ever forgotten that you were going to go to the bathroom? I have. Did you spend your first 17 years of life not knowing that Sunday was laundry day up until you said “You know, we should have a laundry day” after being asked for 3 days straight to bring down your laundry and your mom and brother just gave you a blank look and then your brother replied “Jeff, laundry day is Sunday” and you just barely remembered that today was Tuesday and could only reply “Oh.” and then they started laughing and shaking their heads?
Yeah.
I do this thing people call the “owl eye thing”. I can put one eyelid down while keeping the other eyelid all the way up and scan the room. I hear it’s pretty freaky looking.
I hate getting up and I hate going to sleep. Everything in between is nice.
I wear corrective lenses. Usually, just contacts.
I wrote some code that I like. It got me recruited by a company in Los Angeles. I hope to write more.
My plan was always to get my PhD in Physics and specialize in quantum computation and quantum information science. Somewhere along the way the “quick fix” I was getting from writing code turned into a life long addiction. I still love physics, but I think I’m so afraid of not being good at it that I’ve avoided it. It’s been a weird couple of years.
I want a large dog, but I also want to do some more traveling on my own before I get one.
I read a little too much, maybe.
