The blog here is a collection of news, thoughts and ideas I'd like to share with the world - not that I expect the world to care, but some of it could be useful for someone. Another goal that the blog serves is sharing the updates for whatever projects I'm working on. Oh, and my name is also spelled Boris Turchik sometimes, JIC.

There's no particular theme to the articles, so it's a bit of everything - I'll try to tag them accordingly to make it a bit more clear.

Also, it's an excercise in Eleventy
