I’m Burnt Out.

I feel like I’m getting attacked by a swarm of locusts. Or bats. Except that the locusts aren’t outside my body; but inside. Its such a terrible sensation. Like a siren that keeps sounding; crescendos and collapses then crescendos again. My hands get hot and shaky, buzzing from the anxiety…

Metaverse of Madness

“This desecration of reality will not go unpunished.” What is the Metaverse? Why is the world going crazy over NFTs? How will life look like in this new world? Exploring my thoughts around these questions, this entry will cover: Why the Metaverse is not a place, but a “Singularity-esque” tipping point. How we have only just scratched the surface with NFTs. Why earning money playing games is a sustainable endeavor, and…

Books that Built Me

I hated books as a kid. Hated reading with a passion. I remember my mom forcing me to read 30-page children’s versions of Shakespeare’s works before I was allowed to play computer games. That was my Vietnam. Fast forward to today, and reading is second nature for me; my go-to…

The 3 Things

What you do, Where you live, and Who you are with. I started 2021 determined to think deeper on these, hoping to find some answers. By the middle of the year, I was convinced I solved all 3, conclusively. Start of 2022 and I’m back to square one, all my answers now flipped on their heads. Why these 3 things? Early last year, my submarine…

Quarter Life Questions

I quit the Navy’s Submarine Force. I decided to leave on the last possible day any of us could leave: the day before we got our Dolphins, the badge of honor that proves we are officially qualified submariners. It was a particularly difficult decision to make, not least because I…

On Crypto

“Crypto is here to stay.” People say with a tinge of dread, a kind of… defeatist inevitability. Like, oh well, Thanos is here to stay I guess. But it really isn’t and shouldn’t be so. “It is here to stay!!” I mean, there has to be some reason why we…

The Games of Life

I think about games a lot. In a meta way, working on games does not feel like work to me. It feels like play. Like a game. Of games. And I love it. …

On Purpose

17 Aug 2020 Yesterday I accompanied my dad to the hospital A&E. He had dengue fever the past 2 weeks, but the fever had not subsided, and he was experiencing bleeding from his colon. My sister drove us over, and I followed my dad in. Sitting in the waiting area…

From Rats to Riches — an entrepreneurial story

26 August 2018 So, this is my first time ever writing a blog. Many people have been encouraging me to write one for some time now, but I’ve never really got down to doing it, mostly because I didn’t think I had anything substantial to say, nor that I would…
