My latest article for the Technology section of The Philippine Star is now up! 🎉
I looked back 25 years to the time the ILOVEYOU computer worm, also known as the Love Bug, infected millions of computers and caused billions of dollars in damage.
In 2012, the Smithsonian Magazine ranked ILOVEYOU the tenth most destructive computer virus ever.

My latest article for the Technology section of The Philippine Star is now up and I couldn’t help writing an intro/explainer about #Signalgate and #opsec because most Filipinos haven’t heard of @signalapp.
Also, after I submitted my article to my editor, I learned that several other outlets have put out their own explainers too! 😅

Unless you’ve been completely offline (or not at all interested in American politics), you’ve likely heard about the massive blunder by President Trump’s administration, where top military and intelligence officials accidentally invited a critical journalist into a Signal group chat discussing airstrikes on Yemen’s Houthi rebels that started on March 15.
My latest article for the Technology section of The Philippine Star is now up and it is a fun little dive into cool stuff people developed based on @wikipedia including the recent #WikiAsteroids game by @kevin!
I guess this means that I can now add mainstream media writer to my resumé?
Here is my first article for PhilSTAR Tech, the technology section of the Philippine Star, and it is about #GoogleMaps renaming the #GulfOfMexico to the “Gulf of America”. Thanks @jayveef for the invitation!
