Welcome to Yannick's Wiki!

Existential statement

I (Yannick Trottier) started this wiki to try out this technology. I'm fascinated by it so far. I'm the primary author of the vacuum page on wikipedia, and I hope to add to many more engineering articles.

I'm not sure what this page is going to be yet - just a personal vanity page or something more useful? It's a space.
