About

I think it’s important for students to keep up with current events. This weblog serves as a historical record of articles that I’ve shared with my students. I curate articles that focus on technology, software, development, design, usability, security, computer science, interactive design, and more.

Meta’s latest features are straight out of 2017

Meta’s latest Instagram features let you repost your friends’ videos and track their real-time locations. Which is great — if you missed out on Snapchat in 2017 and TikTok in 2022.
