About

I'm Vince, a network engineer turned systems/software person, based in Michigan.

I collect hobbies, with a focus on tech, music, and nature, and especially where those intersect!

All blog posts are living documents on topics I find interesting. This blog is a writing exercise, and a way to showcase my interests and passions.
