        <p><bold>Who am I?</bold></p>
        <p>Welcome to the new face of Kevin Veroneau Consulting Services!</p>
        <p>Pre-2015 I was taking on independent contracts from multiple start-up companies in North America,
            In recent years I have been happily working at a couple large companies as a Development Operations Engineer. 
            As the years past, this website <bold>just existed</bold> with no real purpose other than to show what
            companies I have previously worked for.  I think it is about time to give this entire domain and brand a total
            overhaul.</p>
        <p><bold>What is the future of Kevin Veroneau Consulting Services?</bold></p>
        <p>In the past few years I have been working on my cross-platform desktop application development skills, and
            feel that in this day and age of online security, that desktop applications will start to make a resurgence.  I
            have been preparing myself for the comeback of desktop applications, and secure endpoints which do not rely on
            the <wiki>HTTP_Protocol</wiki>.  Server applications will always have a place in our ever changing digital world,
            but the current state of web-based applications will soon be exhausted by the constant requirement of learning
            security best practices.  This has only become a cat-mouse game with no end in sight, as seen with the recent
            log4j exploit plaguing the modern Internet.</p>
        <p><bold>What do you propose then?</bold></p>
        <p>Let's all take a step back as Internet citizens to see exactly what we created here.  We are using a protocol
            which was invented 30 years ago in 1991, which has been bandaged to make work for our current modern purposes.
            We added support for more dynamic pages using the <wiki>JavaScript</wiki> language, server-side scripting, and
            now with the advent of <wiki>HTML5</wiki>, we are adding even more non-sense to this extremely dated protocol.
            Today's modern web development is now plagued with horrible bandages, such as <wiki>TypeScript</wiki>, instead
            of fixing the root cause of our problems with this awful monstrosity we call the <wiki>Internet</wiki>.</p>
        <p>The original idea behind the Internet died in the 90s, whereas it's purpose was to be-able to freely share
            information among our fellow people.  Now, the Internet has become a huge billboard of advertising, and tons of
            extremely useless web content.  It has become a place for us to overshare and brag on social media, when deep
            down inside we know that nobody really cares about our lives or what we share.</p>
        <p>With all that said, I don't personally propose anything in specific.  We have already done the damage, the
            Internet will always be this space online full of advertising and useless products we may use for a day then
            just toss away.  Is this what our glorious race has become?  Is this what we envisioned world peace to be?</p>
        <p>We all just need to take a step back, and look at the bigger picture of what we have all created, and come up
            with a solution together.</p>
