SERIES REPOST 2022: day three (~15 miles; ~52 total) was slower and social, then a crowded glendalough lunch before a long, less-scenic climb to an empty adirondack hut. i slept open to the night, visited by animals of varying sizes, and drifted off thinking about bill — his strength, the weight of what we couldn’t fix, and the small peace of some loving final words.
SERIES REPOST 2022: two grueling days and nearly forty miles in, the weight of my pack—mr. osprey—felt heavier than ever. between endless climbs, slipping on trails, sharing laughs with fellow hikers, scattering ashes for dad and bill, and stumbling upon a heavenly campsite just in time, i learned that exhaustion, luck, and small kindnesses all travel the same road.
How #Bitcoin and #Value4Value fixes the monetization of information.
They promised you cleaner air and cozy cafés but what they’re building is a digital gulag. Beneath the glossy language of “sustainability” and “smart cities,” the 15-Minute City hides the final piece of a total control grid: a world where your movement, money, and identity are algorithmically policed. This essay rips apart the utopian veneer to reveal the dystopia underneath, where convenience becomes confinement, climate policy becomes population management, and the digital prison arrives not with sirens, but with a notification.
Thoughts on the automatic splitting of sat flows.

My dad killed himself today. He hanged himself in the morning.
A rogue broadcaster hijacks the airwaves with a venomous manifesto: vaccines aren't miracles; they're investments in human misery, the opening move in a pharmaceutical chess game where your body is the board and chronic disease is the endgame. Every needle is a barcode, every patient a profit center, every side effect a subscription renewal to a system that harvests weakness and sells it back as treatment. The Voice in the Static isn't just warning you about the system. He's recruiting you to burn it down.
SERIES REPOST 2022: day one of the coast-to-coast trek began at poolbeg lighthouse, adding nine miles through dublin before even reaching the wicklow way. a kind cab driver, a few lessons in irish hospitality, and my first night wild-camping marked a humbling, unforgettable start to the journey.
SERIES REPOST 2022: a reunion years in the making — i landed in dublin to stay with my old friend mick, whose chance meeting with my sister years ago sparked a lifelong friendship between our families. over pints, memories, and laughter, we remembered my dad and brother bill, and the book that first inspired this coast-to-coast walk across Ireland.
SERIES REPOST 2022: as a tribute to my dad, brother, and our shared love of Ireland, i attempt to solo hike 387-mile from Dublin to Dursey Island to honor their memory, celebrate movement, and raise funds for the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation. Along the way, I’m seeking connection with nature, my roots, and myself. Part 1 of 9.
The UN's 2030 digital ID agenda isn't about inclusion but it's about turning your body into a permanent surveillance tag you can never escape. Digital IDs combined with CBDCs, governments gain a kill switch on your entire existence; your money, your movement, your ability to say no. Escaping this digital prison will require Bitcoin.
