  • Hello world!

    This is first post of probably many. As I do have urge to write, share my thoughts on technology, society, philosophy, music, film, etc. LinkedIN proved to be a wrong place to do it. It is full of AI generate content, and extremely ignorant ppl.

    Instead, I will do it on my own domain and hosting, free from BS and empty calories.

    Stay tuned!
