Also, the first [undergrad] author on this ACM IUI '26 paper is applying to PhD programs this year. Want a team member who is a technical powerhouse, great communicator, and on a trajectory of awesomeness? Reach out to me or Valeria...particularly if you work in robotics or AI!

Now, does a burger contain an animal? Does a painting of an animal count as an animal? What if the coffee art had birds instead of flowers? #captcha #recaptcha #hci #interactiondesign #ux #usability #gui
a screenshot of a 3x3grid recaptcha showing photos of coffee drinks, giraffes, cheeseburgers, and bicycles. It says "please click on all images containing an animal."

I am perpetually baffled by this new captcha. Aren't all of these bigger in real life? #wut #captcha #hci #interactiondesign #ux #usability #gui
a captcha that asks "please click on the thing that is bigger in real life", with blocks of patterned color below and pictures of parrots, crabs, pigeons, and a panda bear.

Not so sure about that band name... #computerscience #spotify #snowpatrol
a screenshot of the spotify app that says "recommended for you" and a live concert - but the band name is a random series of numbers and letters.

On June 2, 2023 Twitter highlighted a recent Tweet from a certain CEO at the sign-in page, and I noped out of there so fast and haven't logged in since. And here I am on Blue Sky, only a year and a half later!
A screenshot of an Elon Musk Tweet that says "Every parent should watch this. Retweet of Daily Wire 'It's the movie they really don't want yo to see: #WhatIsAWoman? Watch the explosive documentary starring Matt Walsh FREE on Twitter for 24 hrs.' Let that sink in. X"
