A freer life, tested in the world
I write, build systems, train, and make things. The question connecting the work is simple: how do we live with more freedom, attention, and creativity—and what happens when we actually try?
This is the home of that work: stories from the road, practical experiments with technology, movement, music, and a garden of ideas you can explore at your own pace.
Work you can explore

For a different kind of entrance, play Garden of Returns: a short browser experiment drawn from Escondido Dreams.
This season
| Focus | Where it stands | Next milestone |
|---|---|---|
| Escondido Dreams | Available: a reading atlas with 62 short reads and reader reflections. | Develop a small illustrated selection from the existing writing. |
| Useful business systems | Open to enquiries: workflow assessment and implementation planning. | Choose one real process, map its friction, and propose a bounded improvement. |
| Movement and shared time | BJJ enquiries are open; a recurring live format is being developed. | Shape a focused training session and a manageable first show. |
What I’m working on now keeps these priorities together. Experiments can stay in the archive without becoming another promise.
Start with a story
Every Flower, Every Ocean begins with an appetite for experience and follows it toward a question about roots. Its eight opening reads lead into stories about the body, inheritance, and the machines we build to buy our freedom.

The reading atlas uses email sign-in to remember your progress. Reflections and a public note open the next read; your answers to the author stay private. The journal here is available to browse directly.
Field Notes from Adicheo
A letter built around one lived scene, one useful experiment, something made or discovered, and an invitation. The planned rhythm is every two weeks, with room for writing, movement, building, and music.
Read a sample and request the letter. The mailing list is being set up; the page explains how to request updates without pretending an automated signup already exists.
Come into the room
Reading conversations, training, music, and small gatherings belong here too. See current invitations and propose a gathering. Dates will appear when they are confirmed.
The wider garden
Four lenses help you explore the archive:
- Logic — technology, clear thinking, and examining an argument.
- Magic — imagination, nature, memory, and the inner life.
- Play — making, movement, humor, and creative experiments.
- Blueprint — practical structures for work, attention, and everyday life.
