Who? What?
Howdy. Welcome to sibiryak. I'm Jason and this is my personal website. I'm still working on getting my blog set up, but feel free to have a look around the in meantime.
Sibirawhoizit?
Sibiryak (si•bir,•ják). It's Russian. It's a noun meaning Siberian. Actually, there's a slightly more nuanced meaning...well, we'll get to that eventually. I'm not going to bore you just yet. It's early and you just got here.
What's up with the dude in the corner?
Oh yeah, him. That's Ermak Timofeevich. At the behest of the Stroganov family, he led the conquest of Siberia in the sixteenth century. Think of him maybe as the Russian Cortez.
