About
Hi, I'm Jason.
I write essays at the seam where games meet physics, code meets fiction, and a small idea turns out to scale further than it had any right to. A Zelda speedrun becomes a question about time travel. A pseudorandom seed becomes a question about whether the universe rolls dice.
I build the toys too. Most pieces here ship with an interactive companion in theLab — because some ideas only land when you can poke them. Fire at the board. Reveal the seed. Watch entropy refuse to loop. The fun is in the doing.
When I'm not writing, I'm usually building something small and slightly unreasonable: a pinochle simulator that plays thousands of hands to work out when to shoot the moon, acivic guide that turns Washington's voters' pamphlet into charts, or a snack-mixing experimentthat started as a question about M&Ms and ended with a physics engine. None of it was strictly necessary. All of it was fun.
If any of that is your thing, the writing is the place to start.
