I recently watched Cow by Andrea Arnold - a documentary film about life on a dairy farm for a cow named Luma. The first and most depressing part is just watching what it's like for the cows. They seem like really sweet creatures. The...

Over the past several years I've actively worked to decentralize my online presence and reduce (as much as is realistic) my use of giant social media platforms. The downside to this approach is that I post a lot across lots of places....
signal on Linux offer the way to store your encryption key in your system walled (encrypted) or local as plain-text unencrypted. Actually if you use a full disk encryption a clean text key isn’t a huge issue. But nevertheless to give it...
While I love love love the writing, the story itself is starting to annoy me. It's repetitive and whiny. But half way... hoping it gets better.
January 25, 2026 It's snowing and blowing, with a temperature of 24 degrees but a windchill making it feel like 10. We've already accumulated a solid 8 to 10 inches of snow. I've cleared the back porch, the roofs of the shed and chicken...
For the crime of helping someone to their feet and legally filming, an American citizen, Alex Pretti, was beaten to the ground by at least six ICE agents. While being beaten, Pretti never once removed the firearm he had legally holstered...
I got a lot of ideas for side projects rattling around in the old tin can. As part of my “No new projects” initiative, I’m trying to jump on building prototypes so I can decide if I want to explore ideas more or call it quits. A handful...
Some time during my on-going law degree, we had an assignment on a slightly altered case based on a real one, had to develop an opinion, and defend it convincingly. After the main part of the assignment was done, we we were divided into...
January 2026. St Annes. Mrs RM decided to leave the Fifteen at Seventeen Twenty-Three. I have no idea why. “A walk along the bracing sea front, Mrs RM ?“ “No, Mr RM. Tea and back to that nice warm room at the Travelodge“. St Annes was...
Seven nights and as many mice, and they hadn’t made any progress. Utsab hadn’t picked up the mechanism in over a day, instead working on a paper for a grad student. The bags under his eyes testified he had pulled an all-nighter to make...
tldr: an attempt to reduce the terror reporting. There is no longer a curl bug-bounty program. It officially stops on January 31, 2026. After having had a few half-baked previous takes, in April 2019 we kicked off the first real curl...
I’ve owned plenty of Kindles and Android tablets over the years, but I’ve been curious about colour e-ink for a while - whether it’s actually useful or just a gimmick. The Bigme B6 Color is a 6-inch Android tablet with Kaleido 3 colour...
Today I installed Windows 10 on the household's newest laptop. Said laptop has to run Windows so we can run Pyware, but I refuse to live with the billionaire-spyware that Windows 11 has become. I wanted to install Windows 7, but too many...
The London based neo-soul singer and songwriter was voted into the number one slot with her song Man I Need. Dean also scored a second spot in the Hottest 100 top ten, with Nice to Each Other. Such amazing music to listen to, especially...
Lately I've been thinking that I should work on gratitude. I often think about all the ways I could improve myself, all the mistakes I make or all the times when I wasn't enough. You get the game. Surely, you understand that it's very...
Right now I'm sitting up in the middle of the night. I should be getting ready for bed, maybe reading a book and trying to clear my head. I definitely shouldn't be still looking at social media on my laptop in my living room with the...

I was reading a post from Ran Prieur about being able to tell the difference between AI- and human-made images. It's been tougher for me to think about because the newest models from Google, OpenAI, and the like can produce extremely...

La banda de rock Morphine fue una rara avis en el panorama musical, en el que frente al frenesí guitarrero del Grunge epataban con una intensidad musical en la que la gran ausente era la guitarra, icono clásico de la música Si pensamos...
Taylor version v0.4.0 has been out for a while and I didn’t want to bring too much attention to it since it was the massive redesign that took over two years. Instead, I released it quietly and used it myself to see if there were any...
Y tal y como llegamos hace unos meses, nos vamos. Ya lo sabíamos, vaya, era la idea desde un principio. Pero igualmente eso no quita la sensación de extrañeza. Las navidades fueron estupendas, pero el batacazo de que acabasen fue grande....
2015, it was a warm night in August. I had just arrived at the 13th Street dorms in one of those overpriced cabs that wave you down right when you exit JFK. On my way over the Williamsburg Bridge, I saw the city skyline and I felt grown...

Sometimes, I need a silly story to help me remember the obscure; things I do not use or do very often. Like git patching via e-mail. Here’s a little love story. --- Bob loves Alice. And Bob loves Alice’s git repository. Bob clones it....
I'm having a hard time right now. Since I wrote last, there have been multiple additional reasons for me to be frustrated both with my field and my country, but I am choosing to follow the words of the serenity prayer. Instead of...

In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop But first, a word from our sponsors: the horrors I'd started working on this post shortly after finishing yesterday's (1/24)'s drawing - right before I saw the news...

Same week as the week before. Still in this weird float state. At least today I managed to drag myself out of the house with a camera in my hand, which was helpful. Drowning out the voices in my head with a rewatch of The Wire, which is...
i. the forging (2020) In the early days of January 2020, I was helping my daughter pack for her semester abroad. It's what we do. She goes, I help get her ready to go. It's my way of staying close while saying goodbye. The winter break...
Toronto, like a major part of Turtle Island, got a fresh coat of snow. In between shoveling our sidewalk and admiring it all, I've been doing some behind-the-scenes modification to my Python-based static blog generator. Hopefully it's...
“Nothing beats kindness… It sits quietly beyond all things.” “What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery?” the Proust Questionnaire asked David Bowie. “Living in fear.” Partway in time between Proust and Bowie, the young Hannah...
I wrote time and again about the perils of excessive screen time – and yet. My screen time has more than doubled, even though i don’t have to spend eight hours a day in front of a computer anymore, and have very limited use of my laptop...
Back in August, I took part in Blaugust along with a large community of bloggers. The idea is to write every day during the month of August. It was wonderful. Perhaps the best part of that experience wasn’t the writing, but the discovery...
19th January - 25th January We handed over a project to a client this week. The IT department confirmed receipt of the dashboard files and said the installation had gone live without a hitch. Amazing work! Congratulatory emails and back...
I pass this Honda dealership on the way to the studio and find it fascinating — the bright blue cylinder... That wavy line... So good! I decided to find out more about the architecture. ⊕Currently Listening: Bob Dylan “Stuck Inside of...

Zachary kindly invited me to answer a few questions about hosting the IndieWeb Carnival. Running for three years now, the IndieWeb Carnival has been the source of endless inspiration for me, sparking both long periods of thinking as well...
I write regularly. This helps me clear my thoughts. I understand myself better. Each time I expound on a given theme, I deepen all the mental paths that lead to it. This is exactly how it works in the physical world around us: the more...

Kaijuville is a newsletter that's really more like an oldsletter: a weekly writeup (or occasional comic strip) about interesting things found in digital archives that stand the test of time.

I'm a developer living in Los Angeles, CA. I previously co-founded HashiCorp. Today I spend most of my time working on Ghostty, a new terminal emulator. I was part of the initial engineering team behind most of the HashiCorp products, such as Vagrant, Packer, Consul, Terraform, Vault, Nomad, Waypoint, and more. I don't work on any of those projects anymore. I was CEO for ~4 years, CTO for ~5 years, an individual contributor for ~2 years, and then left the company in 2023. I fly airplanes. ✈️ I'm an FAA licensed private pilot with an instrument rating (PPL ASEL IR). I currently fly a Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet. I frequently share pictures of my flights.

What's up, weirdos. I'm Jason. Welcome to my digital garden. I'm happy you're here. Please make yourself comfortable. By day, I'm a digital freelancer, copywriter, uncle, and cheese danish sommelier. By night, I drink the blood of my enemies in an old Mountain Dew bottle I found in a Buc-ee's bathroom. Kidding. I'm just a guy who likes to blog about technology, design, the web, and anything I'm hyper fixated on at the time.
