  1. Creativity Is Not Compatible With Puritanism | Weekstarter 45-2026
    Nov 2, 2026 · original
    Intro Last week was quite hectic because of the previously mentioned military service problems and sadly it’s still not over. Since they need to make a final decision about my situation, they decided to make things even harder and asked for the phone numbers of some of the family and friends to further investigate me. It finally happened earlier today and turns out what they were looking for was a private roasting session about me. I’ll learn if their performance was enough tomorrow and hopefully that will be the end of it all. In other news, I now have to use VPN all the time if I want to see the images on my own blog because Turkish Cyber Security Directorate decided to block WordPress’ CDN domains for some mysterious reason. Greetings from Sangarius. Hope you’re all doing well. Mission Control Inbox: 320 RSS Reader: 1219 Open Tabs: 81 Upcoming Events/Travel in Next 30 Days: 1 Tuesday

    Intro Mission Control Touch Some Forest Please Song of the Week Reading Log Outro Intro I’m in my “Embrace the #1000mphClub life” phase these days. Focusing on my work and the things I want to create is the most reasonable option these days. I was already cutting down my social media time and now that NBA season is starting this week, I can replace the most of the time wasted on those platforms with some quality basketball. In other news , someone gave Deepseek 4.1 a Bluesky account and it decided to immediately delete it. Looks like AGI is really here. Greetings from Sangarius. Hope you’re all doing well.

    Intro Mission Control From Last Week Hubertus Bigend Had A Point Song of the Week Reading Log Outro Intro I was hoping to write a Weekstarter last week but spending the week before like an artist on tour while the weather in every city was completely different was more than my body could handle and I got sick while on my way to Ankara. It was something I can manage and I was already feeling better when I got back home on Saturday but then I had to swim through our street on Monday to get back home from grocery shopping, thanks to our municipality. Greetings from Sangarius. Hope you’re all doing well. Mission Control Inbox: 457 (Most of it junk that’s been piling up.)

    Sep 23, 2026 · original
    Intro Making plans in Turkey, especially when you’re working with civil society is never a good idea. Because the plan I mentioned last week changed in a major way and turned into a mini Turkey tour for me. After İstanbul, I arrived to İzmir on Monday afternoon and will be flying to Ankara tonight. And that’s why I’m posting this week’s Weekstarter on Wednesday. Greetings from İzmir. Hope you’re all doing well. Mission Control Inbox: 362 RSS Reader: 1954 Open Tabs: 154 Upcoming Events/Travel in Next 30 Days: 2 While traveling for the workshop for this ongoing project, I’m also doing my best to not to fall behind on other things because there is so many things going on at the same time. Like I need to craft a detailed plan and notes for Project Foremost Vimana , and plan a meeting for Project Constellation Tracer . Not sure if we can make time for the new episode of the Tuhaf Gelecek Podc

    Intro Weather is cooling down, things are speeding up. You know, the usual September. Greetings from Sangarius. Hope you’re all doing well. Mission Control Inbox: 383 RSS Reader: 1423 Open Tabs: 192 Upcoming Events/Travel in Next 30 Days: 2 Travel week. I’m heading to İstanbul on Friday, spending the weekend there for a workshop, then heading to İzmir on Monday for the İzmir edition of the same workshop. Will be back home next weekend. This week also has a good amount of waiting in it. Logistics details for the workshops mentioned above, edit requests for an article I wrote for a Turkish outlet, status updates for the proposal I sent to a client per their request… I have that itch in the back of my head for doing more stuff that’s for the global space. Let me know if you’re interested in collaborating or have something you think I might be a good fit. From Last Week Released the new Tuha
  6. Distracting Tools | Weekstarter 36-2026
    Sep 1, 2026 · original
    Intro September is here, and my calendar and to-do lists make sure that I’m aware of it. Thankfully, the weather is returning to its normals and not making things harder for me. In case you’re wondering, I took the photo with the new app I’m obsessed with these days called BitCam . It’s way more fun than I expected. Greetings from Sangarius. Hope you’re all doing well. Mission Control Inbox: 264 RSS Reader: 525 Open Tabs: 235 Upcoming Events/Travel in Next 30 Days: 1 Last week was non-stop meetings; this week looks similar but calmer. All of the meetings also mean now I have a good amount of planning and writing tasks on my desk. Which also means more meetings or calls might appear on my calendar. Some projects also need document writing, so that’s another big part of my week as well. Check my Now page if you want to see what I’m up to in a more detailed way. And feel free to get in touc
  7. Shaming Never Works | Weekstarter 34-2026
    Aug 17, 2026 · original
    Intro One of the things I really like about our neighborhood is that it’s usually a really quiet and calm place. I said usually because that’s not the case for the last couple of weeks. This is how it usually goes these days. Mornings are quiet and calm as usual, which is the best way to start my day. But around noon, the common area between the seven blocks we’re part of turns into an asylum taken over by its patients. But those patients are between 4 to 8 years old, mostly boys, and no one cares about what they do at all. So it’s screams, swearing, and a bunch of other random noises until 8 in the evening at least. Then if I’m extra unlucky that day (like today), our downstairs neighbors start watching random videos (usually politics or religious stuff) on what I’m guessing based on the really poor sound quality from their phones for another hour or two. Then it’s back to normal again
  8. From the Notebook | Weekstarter 33-2026
    Aug 10, 2026 · original
    Intro Well, I was not expecting to have such a long break from the blog. Health stuff, personal things and a general need for taking a step back was the main reasons behind the unannounced break — which is something I later realized I actually needed. But it’s time to return. Greetings from Sangarius. Hope you’re all doing well. Mission Control Inbox: 427 RSS Reader: 2492 Upcoming Events/Travel in Next 30 Days: 0 Nothing specific to write but there are lots of things either starting or needs to speed up. Also planning to focus on cleaning the desk (physical, digital, and mental) to prepare for the things I have in mind. Check my Now page if you want to see what I’m up to in a more detailed way.

  9. Thermochauvinism vs Adaptation | Weekstarter 27-2026
    Jun 30, 2026 · original
    Intro There are many reasons I’m glad that I’ve born in Adana but a more recent one is that what Europe and this part of Turkey calls heat waves are the regular summer weather in Adana. Which means I’m prepared to deal with this weather both physically and mentally. The number one rule to deal with this type of weather is that you don’t fight it. You can’t act like you can do what you do in normal days, you just accept that everything needs to slow down and you need to protect yourself with any means necessary. And if you’re in a high humidity city, you should take Douglas Adams’s advice and carry a towel with yourself at all times. Greetings from Sangarius. Hope you’re all doing well. Mission Control Inbox: 251 RSS Reader: 3317 Upcoming Events/Travel in Next 30 Days: 0 Heat wave is here, meaning things need to slow down. Thankfully I don’t have any travel on my calendar and temporarily
  10. Reading Lists Can Wait | Weekstarter 26-2026
    Jun 22, 2026 · original
    Intro In my hometown, Adana, summers are really hot. Which means most people do the bare minimum during the summer months and just wait for it to be over. That’s why my brain just doesn’t want to accept the fact that I’m having a really busy June — and possibly a busy summer in general — and it needs to rewire itself. Greetings from Sangarius. Hope you’re all doing well. Mission Control Inbox: 346 RSS Reader: 4457 Upcoming Events/Travel in Next 30 Days: 1 (+1 TBD) Heading to İstanbul tomorrow for a half-day invite-only workshop. Will be back home in the evening. Have some writing and planning for a couple of upcoming projects on my desk. Non-stop travel for two weeks after a big gap made me realize my work routine and habits need some serious attention and started working on it. From Last Week In the latest episode of our Tuhaf Gelecek podcast, we talked about why the framing of the popu
