I seem to have a bright red and bright blue theme going on here in Satoshi Manor. From the Tardis Door to the Cabinet Chronicles, my creativity is being unleashed. The entire manor house is an art installation for me. It’s part book, part gallery, part art piece. Like all art, I’m not sure if it’s good or bad, I guess that’s for those who look at it to decide. I like it, it’s my art - but somehow...

My situation is completely different now - and we’ll see how that works out for me. The bottom line is that you have to trust your gut and when you don’t, you usually find yourself in a pickle. Don’t put the plastic bag over your own head, no matter how tempting it may be. My personal red flags were having to do with wages, impact, and connection with students. The red flags that life threw at me...

I was away from my house for about a week. It was interesting to reflect on my short time of being a foreigner here in Japan and some of the observations I’ve been fortunate to make so far. This chapter has no updates on my house, no photos of my house, and not much in the way of updates on my life - but just a short interlude of some footage I shot and found interesting and some observations that...

Join me as I take a wander through some of the museums of Otaru. This is just the tip of the iceberg, only the city museum’s free gallery and the Otaru Literary Museum. There are literally dozens of museums here, maybe more than dozens. The fascinating history of this town only gets more fascinating as time goes on. Next time, I’ll share some before and after photos, some of the objects and cool t...

Work on the house has been non-stop, but perhaps it’s not as visually appealing as installing a new toilet or tearing down some old walls. Mostly just cleaning, cutting weeds, trying to figure out where old smells come from, and the process of getting rid of junk and figuring out what is useful to keep instead of getting rid of it. Vagobond Media Community is reader-supported. To receive new posts...

In the most recent VM GM Web3 Writers podcast hosted by Rionna Morgan , the vibrant community of Web3 writers came together to discuss the latest developments in the literary space.

A little interlude while I show you the back shed, the garden, the spring, and a bit of the outdoor wonders that exist on my property here. Plus, a surprise! Also - the gashes on the top of my head seem to be healing. No big production values on this one. Even a simple video is taking me forever to upload - my location makes a faster upload impossible, it seems. I’m not going to put a paywall on t...

My house is really undergoing a big transformation. Just moving the stuff that was cluttering it outside and cleaning the inside as best I can is making a big difference. It’s been a week since I moved in and there are certainly challenges. Comfort is one, loneliness is another. Perhaps even bigger than both of those is my lack of understanding exactly how to fit into this neighborhood. These peop...

The latest episode of the VM GM Web3 Writers Podcast, hosted by Rionna Morgan, marks the first session without our beloved co-host C.D. Damitio, who has recently relocated to Japan. But have no fear—CD hopes to connect with other writers very and begin another edition of VM GM in his timezone! Rionna introduces the show and passes the mic to various contributors, including Odd Writings, Indefatiga...

I don’t remember when I was last this exhausted. I’ve been putting in the work of an entire crew but I’m beginning to see some dividends. I can walk barefoot in the house now - most of it anyway. I’ve taken down a wall and repaired some sliding doors. My experience doing estate sales proved valuable as I used the same process here that I would have if I were to run an estate sale in the house of a...

For those who don’t know - I bought a house in Otaru, Japan on the island of Hokkaido. I’m going to turn it into my dream home - that’s the plan.

Next video I will describe the process that got me to this point in some detail for those who w...
