Jessibird

jessiHi! I’m Jessi Hance. I work for Cruzio Internet, a mom-and-pop provider of Internet service and a community portal.

I live a very quiet life, partly due to health issues. Living in the small town of Santa Cruz, California suits me well. No car needed! Have bike, will travel—though I spend a lot of time resting at home with my MacBook and my stereo.

I believe the true purpose of the Internet is to stream music over it.

If you’d like to know a little of my backstory, you can read my earliest blog posts:
