Looks like you forgot to add the poll options.

I think he needs more Karma points to add a poll

Yeah call it a "pseudo-poll", I am not empowered to poll formally yet.

On twitter, my ID is JSON and I always preferred "Jason". However, whenever I go to conference that show my twitter handle everybody assumes that is my name and calls me Jason.

I always pronounced it like "Jay-Sohn". Not sure which one - if either - is technically correct.

Agreed. I've always said "Jay-Sohn" as well; although I recently saw a job description that was looking for "2+ years of Jason experience"... too bad my name isn't Jason :)

Like Es-Que-El vs Sequel I've heard both about equally and tend to adopt whatever version the person I'm talking to uses without worrying too much about which version is canonical.
