About Jeff Hodges

I’m Jeff Hodges.

I can be emailed and IM’ed (through GTalk) at jeff@somethingsimilar.com.

I have a a Twitter account, a Github account and a mostly defunct Facebook 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 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 contacts.

I wrote some code that I like. It got me recruited by a company in Los Angeles. I hope to write more. I’m up in San Francisco now and I love it.

My plan was always to get my PhD in Physics and specialize in quantum computation and quantum information theory. Somewhere along the way the “quick fix” I was getting from writing code turned into a life long addiction.

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.
