+    <h1>About Me</h1>
+    <p>
+      Hi, I'm Jacob. I'm a current undergraduate computer science student at the
+      University of Manitoba and infrastructure developer at the National
+      Microbiology Lab. I'm planning on continuing on to do a master's degree at
+      the U of M as well.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      My big interests outside of computers these days are tea and fountain
+      pens. I also am really into literature, but haven't been able to find the
+      time to read all that much as of late.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      In terms of computers, the hardware I'm most interested in is older video
+      game consoles (which I want to eventually start some projects with) and
+      microcontrollers. I like being able to fully understand how the hardware
+      works which becomes a challenge for more complicated devices.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      In a similar vein, I like being able to understand the software that I use
+      which is why I like using free (as in freedom) software. Emacs is my text
+      editor of choice although I also use (neo)vim on remote machines (and at
+      work due to some incompatibilities with the available version of Emacs and
+      my configuration). My language of choice for personal projects is C. I
+      enjoy the limited number of keywords in the language as it allows me to
+      keep the full language inside of my head and allow me to focus on writing
+      the algorithms, although Python is nice for rapid prototyping. Go is a
+      nice middle-ground that I choose sometimes when I want faster code than
+      Python or a stronger typing system. Another language that I enjoy is Rust,
+      although I don't find myself writing it very often.
