-Coming soon...
+We live in a world where technology dominates our lives. Just about everyone has
+a cell phone or personal computer. On paper, this is fantastic. However, the
+reality is not so ideal. Technology addiction runs rampant and devices influence
+people in all manner of negative ways. Even if you want to "unplug" from
+technology, the widespread use of it makes it almost impossible to do so. It is
+arguably impossible to lead a life without an internet connection and a
+smartphone nowdays. Thus, computers are no longer useful tools but unfortunate
+relationships we are forced to partake in. When one sees the direction
+technology is moving society in, it is not uncommon for one to despair.
+
+As an Orthodox Christian, there is this fundamental understanding that our
+existence has meaning beyond the material world. However, it distracts us and
+vies for our attention. Technology exacerbates this struggle.
+
+It is important for us to be in the world, but not of the world. We must live in
+the material world yet not conform to it. I believe the same principle should
+apply to our technology. Technology can be a powerful tool but it should not
+tempt, distract or get in the way of the individual utilizing it.
+
+It is unfortunately a necessity for us to work with techology nowadays. The
+world requires it of us. However, just because something is in the world does
+not mean it must be of the world. The great saints and ascetics make this clear.
+
+Technology can be modified to act strictly as an interface to the rest of the
+world without conforming to its standards.
+
+That is my mission with MonasTech. To make technology in the world, not of the
+world. To repurpose technology into an extension of our own will, not of someone
+else's.
+
+## Who is this guy, anyway?
+
+My name is Luke Willis. I'm an Orthodox Christian who cares a lot about
+technology and the owner of MonasTech. I'm hoping to make a difference in
+people's lives and maybe even make some money along the way.
