Thom Hamilton / Saskatchewan
Ketchup
Sandwich.
An uncharted exploration into the journey of becoming useful enough to be unusual.
The premise
I build things to understand them.
This is not a portfolio. Not a personal brand exercise. Not a place to impress anyone in particular.
It is a place where tools come to live when they are finished enough to be useful. Where thinking gets written down before it evaporates. Where the work-in-progress version of someone is allowed to be visible.
I am a filmmaker and builder from Saskatchewan. I observe people. I try to make the gap between needing help and getting help smaller. Sometimes that is a video. Sometimes it is a tool. Sometimes it is a ketchup sandwich eaten over a notebook.
Be useful enough to earn the freedom to be unusual.

Things I
noticed.
Notes, essays, and half-formed ideas. Written to think, not to impress. Published before they are ready, because ready is a moving target.
Read the thinking →02 / Tools
Things I
built.
AI-powered thinking tools. Each one exists because I needed it, built it, and suspected someone else might too. Free. No accounts. No tracking.

The unusual idea must work.
Not unusual for attention. Not strange for effect. The strangeness has to be in service of something true.
That is the only rule here.
