The story of Icarus often gets told like a warning, but I hear a second message inside it. You were built to reach, so reach with your eyes open.

Reaching too far can burn you, but never reaching at all is its own kind of ending.

That line is the spine of this site.

ICARUS is where I keep my reaching in a form I can live with. Words when my head is too loud. Projects when I need to build my way out of a mood. A stream of headlines because the world matters, even when it is chaotic. Videos because some ideas need motion, not paragraphs. A chatroom because solitude is useful, but it should not be the only option. A watch list because stories are fuel. An arcade corner because play is maintenance.

The myth also has craft in it, not tragedy alone. Wings are made, not wished for. This place is my workshop. Some days it is polished. Some days it is rough. Either way, it is honest work.

So think of ICARUS as controlled flight. No chasing the sun. No hiding in the maze. Staying in the air long enough to make something real, and to share it with anyone who finds their way here.
