+## The less technical
+
+Occasionally I like to spend some time doing something that doesn't involve programming.
+
+I've been a musician since a very young age, and still continue my musical experimentation (albeit to a lesser degree) in my free time. I generally focus on integrating various samples into new genres, and like to produce tracks that float somewhere between dubstep and lofi. Check out [my music page](/music) for more info.
+
+I also enjoy shooting and editing photos. I almost exclusively shoot with just a phone camera, and like playing around with various bits of software for the finishing touches. Check out my photography and 3D rendering work [on my Instagram page](https://instagram.com/evanpratten).

+Last year, I [dipped my toes in BGP](/blog/amprnet-bgp) while learning how to set up the infrastructure needed to route a public IPv4 address prefix to the world. A lot has changed since then, and I have fallen further into the world of network engineering and backbone routing.
