The Rubble of Memory
A fleeting glimpse of a car on the highway sparks a journey back in time, a reflection on youth, lost dreams, and the powerful, deceptive nature of memory.

The Lady of the Clock
The search for an antique clock turns into an encounter with its elderly owner and a promise to become the custodian of a century of memories. A personal reflection on legacy, loss, and the stories objects carry.

Looking Back at 2025, Looking Forward to 2026
Pizzas, tiramisu, stickers, and plenty of coffee. But above all, people.
My 2025 has been a journey from Canada to Croatia, reconnecting with old friends and launching new projects. In a difficult year for the world, I chose to focus on the light emitted by positive figures, who are often the quiet ones.
I’ve written a farewell post for this incredible year on my personal blog. See you in 2026, with the same Smile(TM).

The Virtue of Finished Things
An email asking if my software was abandoned made me realize how the ideal of completeness has disappeared from our lives. In an era of mandatory updates and disposable goods, I reflect on the value of boring software - the kind that is finished, reliable, and simply does its job.

The Mechanically Perfect Lie
A loud noise outside my window brings back a memory from 2002. The night I truly could have died.
