Animal Jam: Revisiting Childhood
When I was a kid, my parents didn’t let us have any video games. No Xbox, no PlayStation, no GameCube- we didn’t even have smartphones.

Crowd Navigation
Some people are born for crowds. They have a natural sense of navigation, don’t mind the invasion of personal space, or just feel at home in a large group of other human beings. These people thrive in populated places such as New York City, Chicago, and your average college campus. Others, like me, feel likeContinue reading “Crowd Navigation”
