About the Author
I'm Stephan, a Linux user with a passion for open-source, UI/UX design, and exploring what makes fiction work.
In my spare time, I focus on (and write about):
- Programming (mainly in Python and Rust)
- Retrocomputing (mostly DOS but, as of January 2023, I also own a machine running Mac OS 9.2)
- Reading and Reviewing Fiction
- The odd bit of UI/UX design or literary theory

TV-B-Gone
I know what I want as my next gift, TV-B-Gone. What? You think I’m nuts for not liking TV, Turn Off Your TV. (And I found the site AFTER I lost interest in TV)
