Free weekly email for the curious over 50

I'm Dominic.

I'm just a curious guy who loves figuring out how things work, and sharing what I learn along the way. Tech, travel, staying healthy: if I've tried it, you'll get the honest version here.

I spent 30 years in enterprise IT, building systems, leading security, and running big projects for large organizations. It taught me to pull things apart, figure out how they really work, and not fall for the hype. That habit never switched off. It just moved on to everything else I'm curious about.

These days that curiosity runs in a lot of directions at once. I travel and camp in an RV and run the whole thing off-grid. I use AI every single day and love showing regular people how simple it can actually be. I'm chasing strength, better sleep, and a longer healthy runway. And I'm into wine, motorcycles, and figuring out how to make the second half of life the best part of it. If it's interesting and I've actually tried it, it tends to end up here.

Why this site exists

This site is simple: here's what I've learned, what I'm leaning toward, and what I'm actually doing to make the second half the best. Tech and AI without the jargon. Real RV travel, not the glossy version. Health that actually moves the needle after 50. Money questions every guy our age is quietly working through. I'm not an expert, and I don't play one here. I just do the homework, try things on my own life, and tell you honestly how it went.

What you won't find here is content-farm filler. Everything comes from actually doing it, real numbers, real trips, real routines, the wins and the flops. That's the part an algorithm can't fake, because it has never lived any of it.

A note on how I work

I have a vision condition that limits my screen time, so I lean heavily on voice input and AI agents to get things done. If accessibility and working smarter rather than longer is your world too, you'll feel at home here.
