White House App Developer's Unusual Side Hobby: UFO Conspiracy Theories
By Ars Staff
AI Summary
On March 27, the White House proudly introduced a new mobile app, touting it as the quickest and most efficient way to stay updated with the Trump Administration. However, the app's technical design has sparked skepticism among developers and infosec experts. Adding to the intrigue, it was revealed that the app's creator, Joel Kendall, CEO of 45Press, has a peculiar side interest in conspiracy theories. Based in Canfield, Ohio, 45Press is a design and development agency with notable clients like Amazon and NBC. Kendall, under the alias 'Sir Storia,' manages a social media presence and a website dedicated to historical and paranormal sites. His fascination with the unexplained led him to launch an online store selling T-shirts featuring famous UFO events in Ohio, ambitiously aiming to be the 'Walmart for UFOs and Paranormal.'
