I would just like to state the fact that I believe Reddit is the best social media out there. First, you can stay up to date with the news with recently added “news” page on mobile. Second, you can witness Internet debates of epic proportions. Third, you can be a part of historical events like … Reddit
Endings and Beginnings
On the first day of TIC, some of us were excited, some of us were scared, many of us were a swirling mix of both. I was of course distracted by the various memes and fan-art on our phones. Also that one person solving a rubix cube really fast. I try not to think about … Endings and Beginnings
Two years
Two years. That’s how long it took for a “civil” discussion to occur on Slack. I can’t recall any other time that it happened – but that’s because with #tmf, things were more formal (in my opinion). With that said, it was refreshing to see a bunch of teens just having a good time trying … Two years
Halfway Through
Midway Reflection on TIC For the past three weeks, Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays have been the days I’ve been most looking forward for. Even with the pain of waking up at 6 AM in the morning, these are the days I enjoy the most. When I was first applying for this class, I questioned if … Halfway Through

After meeting the person I was talking to on the computer, I was … First Impressions of First Day of TIC

Finding friends can be tough, especially if you are ushered into a room with silent wandering eyes (of those in the same situation as you), unsure if their personality … Sweet Potatoes, Paper Airplanes
Stuff We Did in TMF
This is Leo’s fault.
Pics out for Naruto
It’s been seven years since the photo above was taken by none other than the very monkey in the picture, a macaque named Naruto. That’s right: it’s a selfie. When the owner of the camera tried to use it in his book, good old PETA took to the courts to defend Naruto’s copyright of original … Pics out for Naruto
What just happened
If you’ve been paying attention, you may have heard that the FCC did a bad thing. That is conceivably an arguable perspective, though one with which I am wholly sympathetic. Much of the caterwauling in response has been focused on our Internet (this very one, yes) and how it will be affected. While there may be reasons … What just happened
