  • I’ve been exploring the practical uses of AI for various workflows, having gone through the leading tools. In my previous write ups, I’ve been open on the realities of what worked well and what didn’t, at least in my experience. Internally, this felt like my version of a self directed learning experience to re-position myself…

  • It’s funny looking back at how these projects have unfolded. A journal became a book. Writer’s block became a blog. Ideation became an app. The app helped me finish the book. The process sparked an idea for a game, born from a mix of social anxiety in crowded spaces, an interest in live performance, and…

  • A field report from three months in my own lab – a 90-day, R975 ($60) experiment, and what it changed my mind about. The blog is my lab notebook; this is a field note from it. In three months I ran an experiment on myself. Call it a self-made MBA. No cohort, no case studies,…

  • It’s 2026, and I’m starting to think the console wars were never really about consoles. I’m in my mid-thirties, watching gaming built around hardware and platforms. Some called it the console wars. Some called it competition. Either way, I’ve grown less fond of buying hardware for an exclusive these days. Look at the supply chains.…

  • Lately, I have been thinking about something that sounds absurd at first and then slowly starts feeling oddly practical: What would it actually cost to build a small private school? Not a prestige campus with rugby fields, blazer politics, marketing departments, and layers of administration. Something smaller. More intentional. A school for family friends, staff…

  • The Architecture of an Outsider When I was a teenager – depressed, suicidal, isolated – I watched people laugh things off that felt impossibly heavy to me. Not fitting in became familiar. Watching social rules happen in real time without fully understanding the machinery behind them became familiar. The feeling of standing slightly outside of…

  • Three Months as a Former Developer, Product Person, and Accidental One-Man R&D Lab I have a confession to make. I have spent years around software while barely writing software. Not because I stopped caring about engineering. Quite the opposite. Like a lot of people who drift toward senior product, technical leadership, architecture decisions, escalations, delivery,…

  • One problem, many altitudes There is a single engineering problem driving the next century. On the lunar south pole, a future occupant will drink water that was originally their own sweat, breathe oxygen recovered from their own exhaled CO₂, and stay warm through a fourteen-day night using a reactor nobody can service. In rural Limpopo,…

  • My music projects have always functioned as a form of escape, a way to clear mental space and process experience. I don’t come from a background in music theory or instrumental training. This has always been instinct-driven work, built from curiosity rather than formal structure, dating back to my early teenage years. My process has…

  • I’ve been floating around my hometown of southern KZN lately. Decay going through its renewal phase, much like much of South Africa. But the energy feels different this time. I find myself asking: what happens when we concentrate skilled economic activity into a few economic hubs within a country? The towns and cities generating the…
