Ahoj! Welcome to my site! + +My name is **Devin Haska** and this is my little slice of the internet I call home. + +Here's a non-exhaustive list of topics you'll find here: web development, music, reading, video games, politics, and intersections of all of the above. + +I really like frogs, like a lot.
