A personal site covering the things I follow closely — and the thinking behind them.

I am an aerospace professional based in Switzerland with a long-standing interest in motorsport, digital privacy, and the way technology shapes everyday life. The site is non-commercial, sets no tracking cookies, and is written for anyone curious enough to read it.

What you’ll find here

Five topics come up repeatedly, because they reflect what I actually follow, work on, and think about:

  • Aerospace & Aviation — commercial aviation, military aircraft, space, and the engineering and operational realities behind them
  • Motorsport — Formula 1, endurance racing, and the technical and sporting stories that make them worth following
  • Digital Privacy — practical thinking on data, surveillance, and the tools that help you stay in control of your own information
  • News & Fact Checking — background research and analysis on current events, with an eye for what the headlines leave out
  • Music & Entertainment — a curated collection of content creators, YouTube channels, and music worth your time

Who this is for

This site started as a personal archive — a place to collect and share things I find worth writing about. The primary audience is family and friends, but it’s open to anyone who stumbles across it and finds something useful or interesting. Posts are written in English. The site is based in Switzerland and reflects a European perspective, though the topics covered are international in scope.

Posts tagged #ai-generated were written with the assistance of AI tools. Each one has been reviewed, checked, and edited by me before publishing. The tag is there for transparency, not as a disclaimer.
