About

I spent 20+ years in enterprise IT — most recently as a senior manager — before deciding to build my own version of "retired." These days that means trading, writing about AI, and paying closer attention to markets than is probably healthy.

This site is where I put the notes that don't fit in a tweet: how I'm thinking about AI and investing, what's actually happening in the market versus what the headlines say, the occasional movie take, and camping trip write-ups whenever I actually get out there.

The Japan Finds section is a side project: a running list of products I've spotted in Japan that are also genuinely available to buy in the US, checked one by one rather than assumed. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases — full details on the privacy & disclosure page.

日本の読者の方向けには、世界の掘り出し物という姉妹コーナーもあります。 海外(国籍は問わず)のブランド・商品を、日本から実際に購入できるかどうか確認した上で紹介していく企画で、 商品紹介にとどまらない海外のライフスタイル・トレンドの読み物も扱っていきます。
