I read too much and sleep too little. This blog is where I process what I learn about missiles, cyberwar, geopolitics, surveillance, malware, and naval power. No credentials. No clearance. Just a civilian who finds the machinery of conflict — and the technology behind it — endlessly fascinating.

I also keep a reading log here. Books shape how I understand the world. My shelves are mostly security, geopolitics, and technical deep-dives, with occasional fiction when someone writes something too good to ignore.

Everything here is open source. No classified material, no insider access — just careful reading of what's publicly available, connected with analytical rigour and honest uncertainty. I'm often wrong. I say so when I am.
