Hello, my name is Douglas Vos. I live in the Detroit area (Michigan, USA) and I started VVN.NET back in 1998. My personal website is DougVos.com and it’s all about the person – Douglas J. Vos (that’s me). So, as I have time, I’ll be putting my family history, my autobiographical writings, my professional career highlights, and my music on that other website.
VVN.NET (that’s where you are now) is about things I am interested in, but not much about me. The layout, structure, and content of the vvn.net website has changed several times over the years because VVN is a sandbox (for trying out new things or ideas) and a test lab — for testing new computer languages, web services, and content management system (CMS) software.
VVN – Vos Virtual Network is about new technology trends on the Internet, and a variety of other topics. Delight based learning is part of my personal philosophy for life. I enjoy researching and learning new things every day, and writing down my discoveries and observations.
So, VVN.NET (the Vos Virtual Network) is about technology, computer languages, computer networks, free software, open source software, and virtually everything else in the universe. If you want anthropology, cosmology, epistemology, etymology, geography, history, ideology, methodology, musicology, mythology, photography, technology, theology, videography, and webstandardology – please stay here.
Or, if you want more Doug – please go to DougVos.com.
