Hi, I'm Julien!
(He/him/his)
Thanks for stopping by! I decided to join neocities because I can't stand the tech broligarchs controlling everyone's personal data. I heard aboout this "indie web revival" and thought that if there's an alternative to the corporate web, I want to contribute to it in a way that will be fun and teach me new skills. I used a bit of html ages ago so I understand the basic concepts but am basically learning from scratch as I go along. Hopefully this space will evolve into something interesting as I continue to learn and can add features etc.
Some personal info:
- I'm a Canadian millennial man living in the Vancouver area of BC.
- I'm on the political far left, a Social-Anarchist.
- I am neurodivergent, (ADHD) and a bit chaotic! I enjoy learning about disability justice and advocating for my friends and comrades in the ADHD/ASD community.
- I consider myself to be a spiritual person, I've seen glimpses of ego-death a few times in my life which has informed my belief that there is much more to us than our conscious thoughts.
A bit about my interests and what I plan to share on here:
Retro Tech
PC hardware and games from the 90s/early 00s. I maintain a fleet of decaying plastic and silicon toys and frequently upgrade or repair them.Music
Bluegrass and old-time! I play mandolin mostly but some guitar and banjo on the side. I'm eager to share what I learn along the way.Outdoors
Camping, campfire cooking, and exploring the backroads of the beautiful pacific northwest where I live.Various Restoration Projects
I love fixing things! I'm not great at it!I often take on projects that will require learning new skills just for the love of learning and the satisfaction of preventing something from going to waste. These projects often take a long time so I will post updates whenever they happen.
Everything you see here will be the product of human intelligence.
