Pokemon Go continues strong presence in Gainesville

Ken Humphlett has already caught 71 of the 80 new Pokemon. On Feb. 16, Pokemon Go, a geo- caching app in which users collect digital creatures, otherwise known as Pokemon, rolled out its most significant update since its release in July. In addition to new Pokemon, the update features a number of new gameplay options such as interaction with the Pokemon themselves and customization options. Humphlett, 50, a Gainesville resident, said he plays the game with his five kids about three times each week.

Why we should all be allowed to take a Sabbath

The Judeo-Christian idea of the Sabbath has been on my mind recently, most likely because of my personal schedule. College for most is either boring or impossible, with too much leisure or not enough time. I find myself in the latter position, where extracurricular involvement, tedious classes, relationships and personal hobbies jumble together to form one restless day after another. The reason why, I presume, the notion of the Sabbath has crept into my mind is because of the chaos of this semester. In short, I need rest — or maybe a month of backpacking through Ireland or a week at the beach.

Should we be concerned with cloud computing?

On Tuesday afternoon, Canvas was down. We realized this quickly, frantically taking to Facebook to make sure our computers weren’t just acting up and asking others about assignment information. This problem was not localized to e-learning, however, nor was UF’s spotty Wi-Fi to blame. This stemmed from something much more widespread, with websites all over the internet losing functionality, ranging from small features not working to the whole site or app being down.
