WHITEFUSION

A hearty hello from 🌲 Portland, Oregon. Got time for a quick story?

Once upon a time, there was a boy. His name was Jared White. (Hey, that’s me! 🙋🏻‍♂️)

He “clicked into Trumpet” (as his mother put it), booted up the Mosaic Web browser, and the rest (as they say) is history. 🏛️

Do you know what’s changed in the last 30 years? “Nothing.” 😎

Yes I’m still that exuberant kid at heart. I love the clear skies and the open road of the World-Wide Web as it was originally envisioned. No corporate overlords. No gatekeepers. No algorithms. Just hippies & nerds creating cool shit and hosting it in cyberspace. 🛸

All I’ve ever wanted to do is build for the open web and make it better. Make it fairer. Make it more accessible to all. And I’ll keep at it till I’m good as gone. 🪦

Are you a developer? A publisher? 📚 A small business or non-profit? Do you believe that communicating graciously and honestly with customers, colleagues, community members, and stakeholders is not just a priority, it’s the priority?

Have you had it up to here 😤 with failed “genAI” promises and corporate media jerking you around? I can’t claim to have all the answers, but here’s my promise to you: we’ll hunker down and figure it out together. 🫱🏽‍🫲🏼

A bit more about myself…

I was born in Northern California. 🍷 As a young child, I proudly informed a toy researcher in a mall that I wasn’t into G.I. Joe, I was an artist. 🎨 Later as a teenager, I played bagpipes. But not the type most pipers play, because I’m a hipster. ☕️ Oh yeah, and I also learned a variety of programming languages and graphics design applications, as one did in the 1990s when it was totally 1337 to be an aspiring hacker. 😎

Now I’m gleeful to be living in the Pacific Northwest. 🏔️ I ride an e-scooter every day for fun and glory. I no longer play bagpipes, but I do play blogger on Mastodon. And now for some real <details>! 😉
