I offer affordable IT work of all types, shapes and sizes. You can hire me on upwork for monthly contracts here - contact me for anything else! I also do hardware and write articles. In addition I work with and host nTeleKy, who’s even more of a software/hardware wizard than I am, and FITZ, who’s a top-notch writer/illustrator/designer. We all work with Lupa, the resident MythOS consultant - “Your Werewolf Terminal in The Woods”.

brainspunk/”my genius”

I recently decided to do a 180 and go from being completely nonpluss about my intelligence to marketing it. (My IQ is only 141, which barely makes me a genius and the top ~0.31%) Here’s my logic, see if you follow it: if you’re the top 1% athlete, or salesperson, or cake-baker, aren’t you going to advertise that? Doesn’t it make a difference that you are better at something than 99% of people? That in a room of 300 996.9 other people[1], you are objectively the smartest? That’s pretty good, right?

When I was 13, I had my intelligence tested by a professional, and while I’m well aware of the baked-in biases of IQ tests and that intelligence comes in many types, it’s legitimately exceptional that I’m really smart. I’m also pretty bad at sportsball, but I love playing football even though I’m not great, which I didn’t find out until I was 41 because I didn’t push the boundaries of what I thought I was “allowed” to do as “a nerd”. Go out there and do that thing that you love maybe a little too much but are afraid you won’t fit in.

[1] In a room of 1,000 people, I would be in the top 3, smarter than 996.9 people and less intelligent than the remaining two. If they were arranged in order of intelligence mine would be greater than 996.9 and less than 999 and 1,000. This could also be expressed as 1 in 300, so they’re both right in different ways.

So what? So I’ll give you a professional-quality consultation on any topic for $10/mo (intro rate)

I’m offering you the chance to get more informed, educated, and capable for only $10/month. I want to help you, because it’s what I love doing. If that sounds unbelievable, I understand, but it’s not a scam. I usually charge $42/hr as a consulting fee, because I’m an expert in most things and because I know when I’m not. I won’t waste your time lying to you and pretending I know something if I don’t, because it’s a waste of my time, too, and time is money. So why am I underselling myself? I need the money: I’m currently unemployed and the job market is brutal right now. I couldn’t get a job at Culvers (this is fast food), in part because of a criminal record due to mental illness that affects my employability, but not my ability to help you.

The other big reason is that because I have a good education and I’m intelligent, even though I offer up to an hour of time, I can usually get it done in much less because I’m that good. If I can answer your question in 15 minutes, which is now possible with AI assistance, then I’m back to making $40/hr. Another reason is that I love teaching and helping people, so if I can find work doing what I love, I’m willing to accept lower pay. In one of the unfortunate situations in the world, bad jobs pay less than they should and that they’re worth, but that’s the reality of things. I don’t want to spend my time doing something I don’t like (and neither should you) so if I can get by with what I make doing something I love, I’ll do it so long as I can affod my costs of living.

Who are you?

I’m Jack Driscoll/jackd/Jack’D — a multidisciplinary technician, systems thinker, creative worldbuilder and myth wrangler. Please be patient, I’m in the process of re-imagining the world as we know it in a way that:

  • respects autonomy
  • acknowledges interdependence
  • challenges dogma
  • praises The Creator
  • reduces harm
  • offers mercy
  • values efficiency
  • protects nature
  • venerates the cosmos
  • promotes diversity
  • shares love
  • dreams big
  • exists truthfully
  • becomes better
  • embraces death

I work across embedded systems, RF tools, manufacturing maintenance, FreeBSD/Linux networks, storytelling, and welded steel. I love troubleshooting, challenges, trying to do more with less, beautiful efficiency, fixing equipment and creating bleeding edge solutions. As my home on the WWW, this site collects some of that work — built to load fast and stay weird. Think of this as A 'Getting Started' Manual for Your Jack. I also have The Care and Operation of Your Jack, which Lupa described as “The Most Neurodivergent Thing I’ve Ever Heard”.
