A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a service that secures your connection to the internet by assigning you another IP address and masking your real one. Then, while connected to the VPN, all of your internet traffic is sent through a secure (encrypted) tunnel that no one can gain access to. So, that means all […]
Getting through a little over half the book A New Culture of Learning by Douglas Thomas and John Sealy Brown, they make a point that the twenty-first century belongs to the tacit. This is because in today’s world we can learn almost anything by searching for ourselves and gaining experience from trying it. The process […]
I like checking The Daily Create every once in a while to see if I can relate to any. Lo and behold, today’s is perfect for me because I recently discovered that one of my hard drives containing old work and precious memories from high school is not being seen by my computer at the moment.… Continue reading Daily Create: Digital Loss
So over Thanksgiving, my husband and I binge-played Let’s Go, Pikachu! while eating leftover pizza instead of enjoying the classic turkey dinner with family because who actually wants to fly 3000 miles back home over the holiday season?

I chose to do the latter, as I recalled that I had written a paper early last year that goes… Continue reading Mediated Writing Project: Cryptography

I was reading a post on a classmate’s blog who ranted briefly about their experience as a photographer in participatory culture on the internet, and it inspired me to think about it from the perspective of the community I align with: Game developers. I spend a lot of time on Twitter and Reddit browsing game […]
I just updated my website recently and I thought I would write an informative blog post about how I made it, and what is coming next. You can find a link to the current site here! Hover over individual project-boxes with your mouse (tap them on mobile) and it plays a gif of the game or […]
