On Saturday morning Chip woke up wanting a better Hungarian flashcard app and, knowing nothing about coding, decided to build one with ChatGPT. By Sunday night it existed. What followed was a gray foggy Tuesday meditatio
Day 360 opens with a dream — a blurred Hungarian in a rabbit mask who appropriated all the furniture for mailbox-related reasons. Then the actual news: a green light to move into development on the Bullet documentary. Wh
Day 356, continued. Thirty years into a daily writing journal, something unexpected happens when you play back your own voice instead of reading your own words. A coffee malfunction, a film festival at 9 PM, and a case f

Day four. After eleven hours of sleep and a slow morning walk, something starts to lift. A Thanksgiving dinner at a friend's apartment turns into a late-night conversation in a parked car — about creativity, community, a
Day three in Budapest. Sleep deprivation, jet lag, and the strange weight of displacement. A first encounter with the Hungarian grocery routine. A solo Thanksgiving at a food court. And a question forming about the flat:
November 22st, 2023. I landed in Budapest the day before. My bags landed in Munich. This is the first recording — made in a quiet flat in the second district on a grey November morning, jet-lagged and slightly bewildered
This is the one that explains how a three-week work trip to Budapest in 2023 turned into a one-way ticket a few months later. How a novel that started as 30 pages of character sketches in 2008 became the thing I moved ac
Recorded two days after Hungary's election, April 14th, 2026. Viktor Orbán is gone. Sixteen years of Fidesz rule ended Sunday night with a landslide that nobody quite believed was coming, even as it was happening. I woke
