Mejillones con Chorizo
I cook mussels more than almost anything else, mostly because they ask so little of me. Twenty minutes, one pan, no real way to ruin them unless you walk off and forget the lid. Add chorizo and you get a sauce that tastes like it took far longer. The idea is simple. Chorizo gives up…

Before the light – Bali
I am going to revisit this site in my memory again and again, a morning at Pantai Matahari Terbit, Sanur, being together, awaiting the sunrise. We arrived while the sky was still deep indigo, the town asleep around us, just the sound of the tide and waves washing ashore. The promenade was quiet at that…

Holding the Book
There’s something different about holding the physical copy versus seeing it on a screen for months. Every page catches something a digital review missed, a line break that lands wrong, a diagram that needs more breathing room, a paragraph that ran longer than it should have. Small fixes, but the kind that matter before this…

Watching the Temple Dance upon the Waters of Lake Beratan
There are moments in Bali when time seems to loosen its grip, moments away from the traffic at Jl. Padang Tawang, Canggu, when light and water and silence begin to drift together. Standing at the edge of Lake Beratan in the middle of the day, I watched Ulun Danu Beratan move as if it were…

A Visit to Tanah Lot, Wrapped in Waves and Quiet Light
Tanah Lot is a magical place. It is where the sun performs its final ceremony of the day, sinking slowly into the horizon while the temple glows in warm colours. I arrived without that spectacle, yet seeing the waves pounding the shoreline gave the place its own quiet enchantment. The waves were the true storytellers…

Bali Behind the Postcards
Canggu Through Family, Not Tourism Most people talk about Bali in terms of beaches, cafés, scooters and surf. But this time, none of that really describes my experience. We are staying in Canggu, yet not in the way travellers usually do. We are here to visit my girlfriend’s family. She is Balinese and now lives…

The Unrealistic Promises of AI for Master Data
AI in MDM • Data Governance • Data Quality • Enterprise Data Management For the last two years, the technology world has been obsessed with one idea: AI will change everything. But as with many tech promises, reality is far behind the hype. And if there is one discipline where the promises are loudest, the…

Between the Shadows: A Quiet Fire
We meet in the space between shadows,where no questions dare to follow. Your name rests hidden on my lips,like a truth I never spoke aloud.Our hands still remember the path,as if time merely took a detour. When you pull me close,everything we pretended was extinguished ignites again.It’s not just memories stirring,it’s hope refusing to die.…

Anchored Attribute Ownership
Modern enterprises often speak about “owning data” as if ownership were a single name attached to a single object. In practice, master data objects such as materials, customers, vendors, and products are anything but singular. They are collections of decisions, each with its own risk profile, required expertise, and downstream business impact. When organisations insist…
