Jack Kingsman's actual brain

Jack's Brain

Hi! I’m Jack Kingsman, an SRE @ Atlassian in Seattle. In my free time stay busy as a volunteer EMT, Divemaster, and amateur radio operator.

Help I’ve fallen down a well [and it’s filled with regular solids].

Couldn’t shake it out of my mind so I made another spinner, this time with an icosahedron. Haven’t printed it yet but my shipment of 100 bearings just got in so it’s time to warm the printer up.

Check it out again on Thingiverse.

I was shocked to not find any fidget regular solids floating around the 3D printing/maker spaces, so I made one, open source and parametric using OpenSCAD.

Happy New Year!!

Today I ran the longest distance I ever have in my life (10km). Lately, I’ve been super frustrated by the lack of good pace/mile time/min-per-km charts and calculators floating around, so I made my own. Check out https://miletime.me to see the new app I made to make this fast and easy for me.

Welp, with the faster site came an unexpected change in how my RSS feed renders, resulting in subscribers getting a LOT of emails. My apologies! All should be resolved now.

And in keeping with new things for the upcoming new year, a site redesign! Long overdue to get off wordpress and onto something static and quick that doesn’t take eight to ten business days to load.

All the same posts, 1% of the upkeep, and 500% speed! :D

I’m updating my public SSH key; it’s long overdue to step out of the dark ages and move to ED25519.

My new key:


ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAILDDULC1LD04Hss//MwUXumtJE0YiH1IrioRDly/jack

And yes, I worked very hard for those last five letters.

Below is a PGP signed message attesting to this change, including an identifying comment.

I had too much time on my hands after work today and yesterday, so I made this silly site to celebrate my new shromps.

There’s nothing more to it, except that the shrimp dances faster each time you tap/click it.

skrimp. lol.
