Hello! My name is Tom Peppercorn. I'm a tech professional, musician, and philomath</a>. In my free time, I like taking on new tech projects, playing video games, or indulging in a new hobby.

About this Website</h1>
I built this website in pursuit of sharing my knowledge of many topics, and to give myself a place to put my information I'd like to share with others.
In the field of tech, open source</a> practice is a major drive of innovation and collaboration. What is, otherwise, seen as an industry for introverted weirdos, allows for those and others to build projects together. Some of these projects even run the backbone of the internet (There's an xkcd about that</a>)
The `/posts/</code></a> section is meant to be more like a "collage of me". From the cadence of posts, to the topics spoken about; there's not much structure. It's likely that if you came here for one type of post, you might not find it here. You might see a` `CTF</a> write-up one day, then a guitar pedal review another.`
`It all depends on what I feel like writing about (and when I want to write).`
