“Yes, of course duct tape works in a near-vacuum. Duct tape works anywhere. Duct tape is magic and should be worshiped.”
― Andy Weir, The Martian
“I guess you could call it a "failure", but I prefer the term "learning experience".”
― Andy Weir, The Martian
“They say no plan survives first contact with implementation. I’d have to agree.”
― Andy Weir, The Martian
“I started the day with some nothin’ tea. Nothin’ tea is easy to make. First, get some hot water, then add nothin’.”

“LOG ENTRY: SOL 381
I’ve been thinking about laws on Mars.
Yeah, I know, it’s a stupid thing to think about, but I have a lot of free time.
There’s an international treaty saying no country can lay claim to anything that’s not on Earth. And by another treaty, if you’re not in any country’s territory, maritime law applies.
So Mars is “international waters.”
NASA is an American nonmilitary organization, and it owns the Hab. So while I’m in the Hab, American law applies. As soon as I step outside, I’m in international waters. Then when I get in the rover, I’m back to American law.
Here’s the cool part: I will eventually go to Schiaparelli and commandeer the Ares 4 lander. Nobody explicitly gave me permission to do this, and they can’t until I’m aboard Ares 4 and operating the comm system. After I board Ares 4, before talking to NASA, I will take control of a craft in international waters without permission.
That makes me a pirate!
A space pirate!”

Feeling curious?
Check out the Log! A record of my creative journey spanning over 15+ years, encompassing a curated selection of work, each project a chapter with its own unique story to tell. The archive aims to reflect the ebb and flow of my creative output in a transparent, chronological, and structured library, seeking an answer to the ultimate question: Who am I?—for we know, the answer to that inquiry is not 42.
Step in, explore, and if you feel inspired by what you see, let's create something meaningful together.
