+	This site is hosted on my own server, which is a machine I hacked together from some random components--
+	a 4790K, 16GB of DDR3, SSD storage. The server runs Arch Linux, which was probably a bad idea, but it hasn't
+	caused any problems yet. It serves content through an apache webserver, and has a pretty simple backend:
 	I use PHP for templating, CSS for styling, and no JavaScript at all. The server supports HTTPS using Let's Encrypt.

-	As previously stated, my name is Kai Stevenson, and despite having a rather high opinion of myself,
-	I do not enjoy self promotion. However, I do enjoy music, so let's do this in <a href="music/">song form!</a>
-	Kidding. But really, I hate it.
+	As previously stated, my name is Kai Stevenson. I don't really like doing the whole biography thing,
+	but here's a quick summary: I was born (and still live) in Victoria, BC, Canada. I went to school
+	briefly but dropped out in grade 1 due to extreme boredom, and pursued my interests with the support
+	of my family. As a result, I had an early start on some things--I started programming in C at around 7.
+	I took one course at my local public high school in grade 9, and then elected to attend a private school
+	full time for grades 10-12. I pursued accelerated entry into the University of Victoria during my last year,
+	taking an intro to micro-economics class while finishing up my high school courses. After graduating,
+	I was accepted into UVic social sciences.

 <p>
-	My email is kai@kaistevenson.com. I won't post my phone number on a public website because I don't want
