Writing
Mythos
Recurring themes. Symbols. Personal mythology. Not because it's objectively true — because humans run on stories.
Time as raw material, not constraint. The one who builds the thing doesn't just write about it.
Carrying the weight of who you were into the chapter you're writing now. The choice to author anyway.
Post-nihilism. The universe doesn't care which is exactly what makes your choices matter. Neitzsche diagnosed the problem left us to find a solution.
Future artifact. A telescope. A place to feel appropriately small. In progress.
Decentralised comms as philosophy. Don't depend on infrastructure you don't own.
Timeline
Early Signals
Looking back, most of the interests that define me today were already visible here: writing, technology, storytelling, and an unhealthy tendency to disappear into rabbit holes.
Trophy Wall
Not for status. For moments. Tiny wins count.

Not goals. Not plans. Things currently true. An antidote to the brain that only tracks deficits.

Outside Work
6+ years in. Espresso machine, sourcing single-origins, strong opinions about extraction ratios and water temperature. Not a hobby — a practice.
Started from absolute zero, 2026. Vault Strat-style. Justin Guitar curriculum. A deliberate exercise in learning something the slow, patient way — no shortcuts.
Sony α6100. Learning to see before learning to shoot. Moody, cinematic — more interested in light and mood than gear.
Riding and modifying. The intersection of mechanical understanding and controlled risk. Things work better when you understand how they're built.
18650 cell recovery, firmware flashing, ESP32 boards, NVMe enclosures. If it has a PCB, it's fair game. Use the things you own.
Now
Updated monthly. This prevents the site from becoming a museum.
