Hey There!
Hello and Welcome to my Blog. Here is where I'll show off any projects I've been working on
(including this site). As well as share anything I find somewhat useful/insightful. This will
tend to focus on things relating to python, web development, game development, shell scripting,

page, or click on a tag anywhere on the site to search for articles relating to that tag!
In the projects page you will be able to see projects I've worked on,
as well as find all the articles associated with that project.
