Hey there! I’m Michael Adams; I usually go by “Mike”, or “Wiki” as some of my friends call me. I’m a middle-aged IT professional, living in Los Angeles with my wonderful family. I’ve maintained some kind of Internet presence since the late 1990s, usually to share my findings in my IT career, and my personal use of computers. I hope you are able to find what you’re looking for here: and if not, there are other parts of the web I do frequent.

Regarding the “Wiki” tag, its a nickname I received from some friends in the late 00s. I actually have some edit history with Wikipedia, largely dating back to that time. I’m still a frequent user, but not so much a contributor these days.

I also used to be an amatuer photographer: some of my favorite shots are posted on 500px. I also have a 10+ year catalog of photos from before COVID: I’m still working on a better way to present and share those.

Lastly… I actually did an interview with PDQ Patch Notes in the Summer of 2026. It’s better off listened to vs watched, but hopefully it conveys my feelings of having been in IT the past 20+ years.

The theme of this website is a deliberate callback to old DOS menus and editor screens I grew up with in the 90s. You can find some more info about it at the creator’s website; the website itself is rendered via Hugo templating. Content from the previous version of the website was exported to PDF, and then converted to compatible Markdown using Claude Opus 5.5.
