side_quests()
The human side of the character sheet. Water, wind, music, and a past life as a London tour guide.
Wingfoiling
Wind + water + board. Sounds made up but it is real and addictive.
Cold Water Swimming
Self-inflicted suffering that doubles as a reset button.
Paddleboarding
Balance + calm + occasionally falling in.
Music
I play 4 instruments: bass, keys, drums, and guitar. A story for another time.
London Tour Guide
Former life. I can do the accent if you ask nicely.
"The most obvious future is probably too obvious. I believe we are heading toward a world our imagination still cannot reach."
The real shift is not just better tools or cleaner interfaces. It is that the next chapter may look stranger and bigger than the futures we already know how to describe.
If it feels hard to picture clearly, that is probably the point.
