Joe's

There once was a boy with a Pentium M 100 computer, his second ever in his life. His computer was in a hardwood floor bedroom on a particle board veneer desk. He spent hours at night scrolling through the dialup internet and finding worlds well beyond his suburban life in Vancouver, WA. He learned that the world was connecting people to technology, and in turn, technology was feeding off of the human experience. He learned his third language ever - HTML - and entered the world of multimedia art. Since those days in 1995, his life has taken him through many turns and paths. In 2026, he found a growing community that felt more like home, more like those days with long hair and no sleep. And it was there, he decided, to be himself again.
