Trivia Why's

Archive for 200509     ( return to current blog )


 Welcome to the Trivia Why's Blog!
 

Please allow me to introduce myself, the Trivia Why's Guy... Since 1998, I have written over 25,000 trivia questions for Triv, a PalmPilot trivia game that includes five major game variations and two utility programs.

Last year, I started to think about what else I could do with all of the those questions, and the big lightbulb above my head shouted, "Why not write a book?!" Unfortunately, like most of the software programs I develop, my initial idea (cut->paste->format->done) came down with a severe case of featuritis.

What originally projected to be a two-month project kept on growing until yesterday (15 months later!), when I finally submitted four e-books for publication. I'm also considering print versions but haven't come up with a format I'm happy with because...

The beauty of the electronic format is that it solves the problem that has plagued every decent-sized trivia book that I've ever read: Where do you hide the answers? You either risk accidentally seeing the answers prematurely, having to turn the book upside down, needing to flip pages back and forth, or a combination of the above.

With the Trivia Why's e-book series, the question is always on one page and the answer on the next. Read question. Click. Read answer. Perfectly simple and convenient! But then I had all this blank space on each of the answer pages...
