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.

On iA Presenter and my mission to preserve my digital assets So certain that the world didn't need another presentation app, I ignored iA's new offering for months. Not even through a week of daily visits to ia.net did I so much as peek at its product page. I thought that, at best, my corporate slideshow days were...

But, the seemingly innocuous collection of Madonna photos from the late 70s and early 80s feels off. Particularly photos 7 and 8, where Madonna's face gives an almost...

I made a Lorem Ipsum page Go to: Lorem Ipsum with copy button I made a Lorem Ipsum (Lipsum if you're nasty) because the site I use for my website dummy text has gone mad with advertisements. I suspect it's the same site we all use. I'm cool with ads. Get paid for your work! But when the ads have user-hostile...
