Why I'm Starting This Blog – Thoughts From My Daily Walks
Over the past few years, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking. Thinking while reading, thinking while working in the tech field at Microsoft, and more recently, thinking while walking my dog, Linux. Those walks often turn into internal discussions — sparked by the latest tech announcement, a philosophical question from my studies, or a political trend I can’t stop unpacking.
So I’ve decided to give that thinking a home.
This blog is where I’ll document, question, and challenge my ideas — sometimes born during dog walks, sometimes while reading, and other times sparked by events at work. My goal isn’t to be right or to present polished arguments. My goal is to create an honest intellectual journal. Transparent. Evolving. Open.
The Method Behind This Blog
Instead of writing traditional blog posts from scratch, I’ve chosen a more dialogic, modern approach: I speak aloud, record my thoughts, and use a conversational AI to challenge me. This isn’t just a transcription tool — it plays the role of a thought partner, helping me refine assumptions, challenge biases, and, at times, correct misunderstandings.
But when you read the blog, you’ll only see my voice. The ideas and structure are mine. The AI is a tool — a prompt to help me dig deeper.
To stay transparent, I will also include the prompts I use to generate each post. That way, anyone curious can see how the content was shaped and what systems were involved.
What You’ll Find Here
Raw but organized thought: Each post will focus on one main idea or theme — whether it’s a book I’m reading, a political issue I’m wrestling with, or a technical insight from my work.
Categorized topics: Posts will be clearly tagged as Tech, Philosophy, Politics, Books, or similar themes so readers can jump to what interests them.
Intellectual honesty: I’ll point out when I realize I was wrong or when I learned something new during the process. This isn’t about posturing; it’s about exploration.
Why Transparency Matters
I don’t believe in pretending to be the expert in everything. Yes, I’ve spent 10+ years at Microsoft, mostly in technical fields. I study philosophy. I read obsessively. But I also have gaps, like everyone. These posts help me fill them.
That’s why I want full transparency — not just about the tools I use (like AI prompts), but about the evolution of thought itself. You’ll see how ideas shift, how I test hypotheses, and where I might still be uncertain.
What About Feedback and Conversation?
At this point, I’m undecided on whether to enable comments directly on the blog. It might be more practical to share posts via LinkedIn and hold the conversations there, where many of my peers and colleagues already interact. Regardless, feedback is always welcome. I want this space to be a living dialogue, not a finished product.
The Ritual: Walking With Linux
Most of these reflections begin when I’m out walking my dog, Linux. It’s in those quiet moments that thoughts start to click together. If something feels worth sharing, it comes here. If not, it stays in the realm of private reflection — and that’s perfectly fine too.
This blog isn’t meant to be performative. It’s a process. A journal. But one I’m making public, for anyone who finds value in deep thinking, transparent learning, and the mix of technology, philosophy, and the occasional critique of the news cycle.
