About Me

I am a simple internet wanderer, I like finding cool places and looking around. n In real life I am a PHD student studying evolutionary biology and zoology.

In my spare time I enjoy reading, tinkering with computers and FOSS software, and watching comfy shows.

Stuff I have

I generally have a philosophy of making the most out of what I have, so I don't tend to go buying all the latest fancy gagets unless it is something I know I will value and can hack/repair when it gets old. When using technology, I like to have devices that are open (officially or otherwise) to hacking and tinkering so I can both have fun and extend the devices lifespan.
