One of my recent acquisitions from Netflix was a documentary called Helvetica. It is about the typeface that single handedly changed design. To some it is the perfect typeface. To others, it’s everything a typeface shouldn’t be. Helvetica is a fascinating documentary that explores everything from the history, to how it dramatically changed design, to […]

Some believe The Exorcist to be one of, if not the scariest movie ever in the history of cinema and I was certainly hoping it would live up to the buzz. Unfortunately I was more than a little disappointed. Sure the movie was good, but scary? Could this be a sign that what was once […]

Yesterday my Mom and I went to see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. We deiced to see it first thing in the morning so it wouldn’t be as crowded, a good idea for sure because even though it was 9:30 in the morning, the theater was still, maybe not packed, but […]

Since I bought my iPod nano I began ripping and encoding movies to watch on the minute device. I just started ripping and encoding television shows, most currently The Office. Ripping television series is an entirely different beast than ripping a movie.

I awoke around 7am and immediately began work on justjason.com. This is a really simple video-blog with only two links […]

This was going to be one of those posts where I talked about how I had this great idea for a post and then abruptly forgot when I sat down at my computer. Thankfully, I remembered what I was planning on writing about. My Mom says if you forget and then eventually remember it’s not […]

Not really. We don’t normally rent a lot of movies, but ever since my Mom started collecting Coke Rewards she’s been getting free rentals from Blockbuster. Today, we rented Ocean’s Thirteen the third in the trilogy. It’s hard to think of a series like this being considered a trilogy. I think a term like “trilogy” […]
