Two Generations.
One Collision.

Same family, different firmware. Every episode is a negotiated treaty between the analog and the digital.

SIDE_A

Jason Kimes

Dad · Gen X

Built things with his hands, a soldering iron, and the screech of dial-up. Saw the internet arrive, doubted it, then built a career inside it. Skeptical of hype, loyal to tools that last.

Operating Stack

  • Mechanical keyboards
  • Vinyl & VHS
  • Routers he reboots himself
  • "Back in my day" energy
> The Analog View
SIDE_B

Hudson Kimes

Son · Gen Alpha

Grew up swiping before he could walk. Talks to AI like a coworker, builds worlds in games, and assumes everything is a touch-screen. No patience for clunky, infinite curiosity for new.

Operating Stack

  • AI as a daily tool
  • Touch-first everything
  • Cloud-native
  • "Why does it take so long?" energy
