By night, I help out on Google's product support forums as a [Product Expert](https://productexperts.withgoogle.com/what-it-is), where I support Pixel phones, Pixel Buds, Chromebooks (especially Pixelbooks), Wear OS, Google Fit, and Stadia. Helping users troubleshoot their issues scratches my problem-solving itch, and it helps me learn more about the Google products I use. -On weekends, I race my daily-driven 2014 Subaru BRZ in local [autocross events](https://www.polywork.com/johndotbowdre/collections/2337) or wrench on a [1974 VW Karmann Ghia](https://john.bowdre.net/johndotbowdre/collections/79). +On weekends, I race my daily-driven 2014 Subaru BRZ in local [autocross events](https://john.bowdre.net/johndotbowdre/collections/2337) or wrench on a [1974 VW Karmann Ghia](https://john.bowdre.net/johndotbowdre/collections/79).
