02About This Bench

I'm Jamie. Network guy by day, obsessive tinkerer all of the other times. This shop runs on HackerBox unboxings, retro computing rescues, ham radio, and whatever's smoking on the bench this week.

Got here on purpose or by accident? Either way, thanks for stopping by. Be excellent to each other. Hack on.
