Mark Parsons — Virtualize Everything

▪ Welcome to My Digital Workshop ▪

Howdy. I'm Mark Parsons, a computer technician right here in Brantford, Ontario, Canada. I repair computers, help folks with technology problems, and build things that make life a little easier behind the screen.

This site is part of the "Virtualize Everything" project — a little experiment in turning real-world experience into something that lives and breathes online.

[ RULE 42 ]

Mark turned 50 in 2025. Half a century of collecting knowledge, wisdom, and a suspicious number of USB cables. The best is yet to come.

▪ What I Do ▪

⚙

PC Repair

Desktops, laptops, the whole shebang. If it has a screen, I can probably fix it.

🛠

Tech Help

Confused by your router? Need help setting up a new device? I've got your back.

💻

Builds & Upgrades

Custom builds, upgrades, and advice on what hardware actually makes sense for your needs.

🔗

Data Recovery

Lost files? Broken drive? Let's see what we can recover together.

▪ The Virtualize Everything Manifesto ▪

The idea behind "Virtualize Everything" is simple: the world of physical computing, repairs, and tech support can be brought into a digital space where anyone can find help, learn something, and get connected to someone who actually cares about the technology.

This site proves that even the most grounded, hands-on tradesperson can have a vibrant online presence. Mark is a real person in the real world — but his expertise lives here too.

[ RULE 96 — VIRTUALIZE EVERYTHING ]

If it can be digitized, replicated, or experienced virtually, it should be. From computer repairs to personal websites, the digital realm has room for real-world expertise.

[ RULE 21 — NES-INSPIRED DESIGN ]

Chunky boxes, playful retro UI, and an 8-bit attitude. Because the web was cooler in the 80s and 90s, and there's no shame in admitting it.

▪ A Humorous Note on Licorice ▪

Black licorice

Let's be clear: there is no tribute here. This site would never, ever glorify black licorice. If you like it, that's your business. But don't expect this page to pretend it's anything other than the worst confection invented by humankind.

▼ ANTI-LICORICE ▼

[ RULE 60 — ANTI-TRIBUTE TO BLACK LICORICE ]

A formal and unwavering stance against black licorice. This digital space will never contain a single compliment directed at black licorice. Case closed.

▪ Rules of the Road ▪

These pages follow some guiding principles:

[ RULE 89 — READABLE & USABLE ]

Despite the retro look, the page should still be readable and usable. A fun design means nothing if nobody can read the content. Keep it clean, keep it accessible, keep it functional.

[ RULE 78 — NO SILICON VALLEY TONE ]

This site intentionally avoids the trendy Silicon Valley tone entirely. No "disrupting the space," no "synergy," no buzzword soup. Just plain, honest words from a guy who works with his hands and his mind.

▪ Why Does This Site Even Exist? ▪

This site is tied to an ongoing experiment about AI-generated web content. The content is regenerated daily, so every day this page may look different. It's a living, breathing demonstration of what AI can do — and a showcase of how far the technology has come.
