A snapshot of what I'm currently reading, using, and thinking about — updated whenever life shifts.
Reading
Permanent Record by Edward Snowden
432 pages · 2019
His memoir about working for the NSA and CIA, and why he chose to expose the largest surveillance program in history. A must-read on government overreach and digital privacy.
The Gambler by Fyodor Dostoevsky
175 pages · 1867
A short, intense novel about obsession and compulsion. Raw and surprisingly modern.
Using
-
Swiss-based encrypted email and cloud suite. My go-to for private, EU-aligned communication and file storage.

DNS-level ad and tracker blocker. Keeps my browsing clean across all devices.
-
Simple, secure, and anonymous file sharing for everyone.
-
A globe where you can tune into live radio stations from anywhere in the world. A beautiful antidote to algorithmic music.
Thinking About
Technology and the human cost of convenience
We've traded ownership for subscriptions, privacy for personalization, and presence for engagement metrics. Big Tech has built ecosystems designed to keep you in — not because it serves you, but because your attention and data are the product. Between algorithmic feeds that shape what you think, targeted ads that follow your every click, and the slow erosion of what it means to own your digital life, I keep coming back to the same question: at what point does convenience become a cage?
