When was the last time you looked through your phone’s contact list? I mean really LOOKED. Not scrolled. Not perused for through for names saved next to eggplant, peach, and heart emojis, but really looked. Stopped. Thought about the connection you have with that person; why that person is in your phone to begin …

This week we had to customize our websites more. I did change my theme for the blog and my name. The theme went well when I changed it but I ended up messing up my site link when I changed my site name. This was a mess but thankfully Professor Bond saved the day! That was very stressful because I thought I was going to end up making a new domain and going through that whole process again. Luckily I...

In response to the articles Mickey Mouse & Deadmau5 and A World Without Superheroes on Copyright, I think it’s a smart move for the giant companies to protect their intellectual property but using trademarks that are slightly similar or in general to attack on other people’s property is a selfish move. It limits others’ creativity and gives huge corporate companies …
