Profile

I am an Open Source advocate with a sense of humor. I love to laugh, have fun, and enjoy learning new things and trying out new things all the time. With my free time I often will binge watch shows, currently Doctor Who, play sinlge player video games, do some of my art, and or do a plethera of other hobbies and projects that catch my attention. I am multi-facited and believe travel and learning of other cultures broadens the minds. I have a personal blog that uncovers some of the things I have learned along the way of being a computer enthusiast and playing around with Linux. Check it out on the third link down on the right ->.
