February 2019, Akureyri — where this `log` has its roots.
The wonder of a crystal-clear pond reflecting the shape of the town felt like a shamanic vision from the future — a space-time flux inside the Internet Machine. I would call it a glitch.
The Call-Out
During that winter, I was searching for a new beginning.
I wanted to slow down from the current `work-money-repeat` routine and return to a more natural life. So I contacted a community in Bali to understand the steps required to enter and to offer my physical support for the daily needs of the community.
Surprisingly, I received a commercial offer from a nice lady: a bamboo house at the ridiculous price of $450,000, with the reassurance that I would get my money back by renting the "property" as a tourist location.
You can see the outcome: the call-out of the call-out.
The Call-In to the Bamboo Shaman Saga
I dated a woman for a few weeks while in Akureyri. One day, our conversation ended up around shamanic ways of life spreading through the world.
Somehow, I put the bamboo house on the table — together with its price.
She was shocked, and sarcastic, about the price. So I made a connecting joke that brought a hilarious moment between us:
"I'll be the Bamboo Shaman there. Anytime in your life you need my shamanic expertise, you'll know where to find me."
Internet Machine Backfired
On 12 May 2026, the same lady from seven years earlier sent me another proposal for a brand-new bamboo house — this time "more affordable" at $750,000.
The Bamboo Shaman is back in town.
Again, in a time of upcoming changes.
The Internet Machine has memories.
