I realized many of you may have arrived at this site looking to find out more about me.

Since this is my personal web site, I will try to give you a start with a brief background of who I am, and some guidance for where on this site to start exploring.

I am a Hong Kong born Canadian now living in Hong Kong after being away for 20+ years.

I had been working in the Technology industry for the past 19+ years, details of which you can read about in my resume. During most of my professional time in North America I own and operated Vinko Enterprises Inc.

In the Winter time I enjoy Alpine Skiing and in the Summer I enjoy windsurfing and in-line skating, but unfortunately I had not been able to do much recently except for the latter.

One other thing I enjoy a lot are War Games, where I am a member of a team called "JSOC". You can see some of our operations from images in my Photo Library.

Traveling and photography are also things I enjoy, you can see examples of these passions from my collections of photos here on my site and on my Flickr account.

I do refer to myself as a "futurist" and "true technology versatilist", but I will not elaborate this point here, you can discover that yourself when you start to know me better.

I have a younger brother who owns and operate a corporate law business, Business Lawgix in Canada. so after you finish exploring who I am you can go seek out his site for business law advice; sorry no discount.

I also operates an online business, "Vinko's Treasures" on this site and on eBay US, UK and Australia, bringing goods that I found to be high quality and good value to customers all over the world. Specializing on products that are designed in Hong Kong. These include the following among others:

• Apple™ iPod®
• Silicone, leather and metal cases for iPod®, PDA, Sony™ PSP® and smartphones
• LCD Screen Protectors for digital cameras, mobile phones, PDAs, digital video cameras, LCD monitors and notebook computers (Apple™ Macintosh®)
• Accessories for the Apple™ iPod®, like World Travel AC Adapters, in car chargers, armbands, etc.
• Action figures
