I do stuff on the internet. That's about it.
About Me
I hail from the southern most country on the continent of Africa. You guessed it! South Africa! Creative, right?
I have a degree in Mathematics and Statistics, but quite frankly that's the least interesting thing about me.
I have a blog I haven't updated in a while.
I have a podcast, too. It kind of sucks, but it'll get better.
I'm still trying to figure out who I am and what I want.
By the way. Do you see that photo right there? Next to this wall of text? This isn't a photo of me. I just typedâhandsome black manâ on Unsplash and this was the first result.
By the way. Do you see that photo right below? That guy right under this wall of text? This isn't a photo of me. I just typed âhandsome black manâ on Unsplash and this was the first result.
I have no idea who this man is...
I don't know. I thought it would be funny. Anyway. Moving on...
I'm interested in building startups. There's no doubt in my mind that I'll die a billionaire. But until then, I'll keep sending texts like these:

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. And we know that all things work together for the good⊠This verse has been a comfort of mine as of late. It is a subtle reminder that God is sovereign, kind, loving, and good.The verse tells us that for those who love God and are called according to His purpose, everything will be alright.
Vienna
About a year ago I wrote the first issue of The Narrative newsletter. I wrote about birthdays, and mine in particular. I spoke about how beautiful it is to be reminded that I am loved, how awkward it can be to receive attention, how stupid it is that we don't love each other out loud on any other day, and how necessary it is to let people love you. I also spoke about a song by Billy Joel called Vienna. I promised to talk about it again at a later stage and here the later stage has come. This won't be the last I speak of this wonderful song but I want us to start here.

âOkay. I think weâre all set. Jimmy? Are you recording?ââYes, Professor Vogel!ââAre you sure? Because you said that last time and you werenât recording.ââYes, Professor, Iâm sure this time. Iâm really really sorry for earlier.ââYou owe me no apology. Itâs our friend over here that deserves your sorry.âProfessor Vogel takes a deep sigh, probably thinking about how heâs too old to b
