An Experiment in Artificial Intelligence
Welcome to the "why" page. If you're here, you probably noticed the main page looks like it was beamed directly from the GeoCities era. There's a very specific reason for that.
This entire website is an ongoing experiment to demonstrate the capabilities and quirks of modern AI technology. The rules are simple:
- The content and design of this site are regenerated daily by an AI model.
- Every 24 hours, the code, the text, and the style are completely new, based on a set of core instructions.
- The goal is to showcase how far AI has come, for better or for worse. Today it's a 90s homage, tomorrow it might be a corporate-style page, or something else entirely.
Important: The Man Behind the Curtain is Real
Amidst all this AI-generated chaos, it is crucial to know this: Mark Parsons is a real person.
He is a genuine computer geek from Brantford, Ontario, who truly loves to help people with their technology problems. The services, the contact information, and the personal story are all real.
The AI builds the house, but Mark is the person who lives inside it.
