Welcome to my home on the Internet. My name is Mason Vye and I live in Alvinston, Ontario, Canada. This web site contains information linked to my personal and professional interests. I will try to share useful information and ideas.

My tech journey began with the iconic TRS-80 Color Computer 3. At just 10 years old, I learned BASIC and 6809 Assembly Language. I also encountered the TI-59 programmable calculator – a true powerhouse of its time – but obviously the TRS-80 was more captivating. During high school, I operated an electronic bulletin board service and briefly served as the FidoNet NC/NEC for our region. My BBS had an internet connection made possible by a UUCP link. It was a fascinating era of networking – before the internet became mainstream.

After moving to Sarnia, I became friends with Stephen Dumont, a local musician who owned a PA rental business. I helped with renting out sound systems. At the same time, I volunteered as a sound technician at River City Vineyard. These experiences, combined with my dedication to continuous learning, gave me valuable hands-on knowledge in setting up, operating, and troubleshooting sound systems.
