What started as canceling one media subscription turned into a full-scale audit of my digital life: too many email addresses, files scattered across Dropbox and an external SSD, and accounts I forgot existed. In Episode 09, I talk about the decision to do a complete reset: consolidating everything under one dedicated email, cutting tools I…

A movie I’d seen on another platform showed up on Netflix as a “new arrival.” That was enough to make me stop and count how many streaming subscriptions I’m actually paying for. In this episode, I talk about subscription overload, the paralysis of too much choice, and why I’m cutting down to just one platform, and…

Three failed attempts at vibe coding a language learning app taught me something I didn’t want to admit: not having an engineering background isn’t just an inconvenience, it’s a real wall. So I changed direction. I subscribed to Claude Code and Cowork to actually learn how to build an app properly and document the whole…

There’s a project I’ve been building quietly. And this is the first time I’m talking about it here. In this episode, I share where it stands right now:  Nearly 25 recorded bedtime stories are distributed across Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Music.

Episode 5 of the audio journal. This one’s about Belgian beer showing up in bars halfway across the world and what it stirs up. A quiet question about roots, about the country I was raised in but never plan to return to, and about what it means to miss a place that doesn’t really exist…

I’ve been inconsistent with blogging, I’ve had bad sleep for years, I drink too much coffee, and I have content plans for 2026 that go way beyond just writing posts. On top of that, I want to experiment with launching a faceless YouTube channel. No camera,…

I haven’t run in twenty years. Not jogged, not trained, nothing. And lately, my body has been making that very clear. Low energy, poor sleep, and a general feeling of not being in the shape I used to be. So I did something about it. I asked Claude AI for a realistic return-to-running program for…

A bad night’s sleep. Again. In this entry, I talk about years of broken sleep cycles, what it does to my mood, and why I’m finally trying something different, including building an AI memory to track my health, and why I might finally cave and buy an Apple Watch after years of refusing to wear…

The first entry of a personal audio journal. No audience, no plan, just a decision to start. In this episode, I talk about why I’m building this journal, what I’m actually trying to create, and the one thing I’m holding myself to: I’d do this even if nobody listens. This podcast runs alongside my blog.…
