**Last updated:** 09 Dec, 2024 This is a /now page, listing out the stuff that's going on with me at the moment. If you have your own site, you should make one too. I moved house ------------- We've been here for two weeks now and we're as unpacked as we're likely to be. Probably the most stressful thing I've ever done but very much worth it. What I’m listening to: ---------------------- The record collection now lives in a snug area of the kitchen and gets played a lot. With visitors this week I've been spinning **a lot of Stax and general soul music**, like the classic **Sam and Dave** albums and a bit of **Booker T And The MGs**. Otherwise: * **English Teacher** - 'This Could Be Texas' * **The Last Dinner Party** - 'Prelude To Ecstasy' * **Robbie Williams** - 'I've Been Expecting You' * **Jamie xx** - 'In Waves' * **Beck** - 'Colors' * **Broken Chanter** - 'Don't You Think That Something Needs To Be Done?' EP What I’m reading: ----------------- I maintain an archive of the books I read over on The Storygraph. Here's my current selection: * **Longitude** by Dava Sobel * **So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish** by Douglas Adams · Almost at the end of my HHGG reread now. _So Long_ is such a mismash of a nothingness * **Doppelganger: A Trip Into the Mirror World** by Naomi Klein * **Private Eye** What I’m watching: ------------------ * **Wonka** * **Fly Me To The Moon** * **Sweetpea** * **Sunny** * **Bob's Burgers** Other things I’m enjoying: -------------------------- * Spending time with family. * Marvelling that **GeForce Now** and cloud gaming in general actually works Current status: ---------------

Home ---- * Dog dug up the yard and the new grass. Multiple times even. Planted some clovers to hide the bald spot. Fixed up a vine that fell down from the wall. * Painted some rooms. The previous owner left them in a sorry state. * Built a little bathroom shelf, a little nightstand and a sound diffuser. Getting the hang of woodworking. The sound diffuser being built. Relationship ------------ * Got engaged! Quests ------ I remember seeing some blog post somewhere that advocated, possibly a bit ironically, the concept of using **main quests**, **side quests** and **daily quests** in tracking your to-dos. I decided to give them a try. I now use main and side quests to keep track of my higher level objectives. These objectives function at the week or month level. I do not use daily quests. I’ve always found it hard to stick to to-do tracking schemes. They are often too complex and unable to track priorities or time spans in a way that would feel natural. Maybe this approach is simple and video-gamey enough to stick. Live music đŸ€˜đŸ» --------------- * Valkeat, Ethereal Sin @ Lepakkomies * Queendyster, Liturgy @ Kuudes Linja * Havukruunu, Satanic North @ Tavastia Video games ----------- Played: * Outer Wilds (this was a good game) and the DLC (not entirely my vibe) * Plucky Squire * Neon White Enjoyed watching: * Metal Gear Solids 1–4 in Giant Bomb longplay format * Ultrakill Career ------ * Finished some certifications: _GCP-ACE_, _AZ-900_, _AI-900_. Reading ------- * Still reading _Designing Data-intensive Applications_. Got sidetracked by a database project that was inspired by the book. Top tunes --------- * Djennaration – Liturgy * The Ultrakill OST Previous update --------------- * 🌞 Now, summer 2024

_Last updated on 26 September, 2024_ Current Reading --------------- _Last updated on 10 December, 2024_ _Writing Is Designing: Words and the User Experience_ by Michael J. Metts, Andy Welfle, Nick Madden _The Little Prince_ – Antoine de Saint-Exupery _The Last Unicorn_ was so well-written, I am looking into more Beagle books. Beagle is really good at doing away with unnecessary complications in his plot, leaving lots of breathing room for characters to do their thing. His prose is compact but colorful. I like a good simile (heh) or a metaphor, and he has some of the effective and memorable ones (“
but the coincidence trailed down Schmendrick’s spine like wet seaweed.”). Current Writing --------------- I had some big personal items to settle in the last few months, and that’s taken away from writing time. That’s mostly out of the way, so I am taking a small break from the book and writing some short stories and doing a few more blog posts, for maybe a month or two. Miscellaneous ------------- Nothing much out of the ordinary, other than the personal items mentioned above. Work has picked up in a big way over the summer, but I realized that’s what I said in the last update, which was back in April. I should probably update this a little more often, right?

Updated December 8, 2024

_last update, December 8th, 2024_ The main idea at the moment, is not exactly an idea, it is a feeling. There have been a lot of changes in my life recently, and it has affected my art, my writing, my spirituality (I don't really like that word, but I don't like to say ‘my faith’). At the same time, I moved away from most social media, until twitter became an absolute pit of venom that I no longer wanted in my life. So I removed _all_ social media, and minimalised everything in my life, from my wardrobe to my coding. But there is that ‘feeling’ that is lingering, a notion, a thought, a sensation of something that I want to achieve and develop; I just can't put it into words yet. It is to do with meaningful connection, connections that don't need ‘like’ or ‘hearts’. It has to do with why I have hardcoded my own RSS feed, as well as the HTML for my website; it is why I want to send more letters and receive more postcards. It is
 I don’t know, but it is an idea. Stay tuned.

Skip to content Ideas are everything. These are the ones I keep coming back to -------------------------------------------------------------- ### Civic 1. **Double the bounty for recycling bottles and cans –** This would effectively double the income some of our most vulnerable citizens make and hopefully have an environmental impact. To prove this I would like to weigh sanitation costs against redemption revenue 2. **Universal healthcare to spur entrepreneurship** – I have a theory that countries with universal or single payer healthcare start more businesses than ones that do not. Doesn’t mean correlation is causation but I’d like to weigh data from OECD to explore this more ### Business 1. **Calendar analytics** – I spend a tremendous amount of time in my calendar. I would love to pay for a service that looks at all my calendar appointments and tells me where I can improve. Heavily dependent on logging all activities   2. **Digital hygiene** – Students have driver’s ed, sex ed and spend years learning disciplines that will have slim to no impact on their professional success. I have talked to many educators who tell me how bullying and poor digital skills hurt the development of their students. I envision an info product or course that teaches kids healthy digital habits at an early age. Targeted to bullying prevention, safety, digital literacy and online research and productivity.  3. **Rideshare trip subsidies** – Retail is dying and there will be a fight to get consumers into stores. Dan Reich has a great concept for Native Advertising that any of the rideshare companies could easily implement 4. **Move/travel assistant** – nearly every time I have traveled one of my credit cards does not work because I forget to notify them. In 2020 I should be able to do this from one portal or dashboard.  ### Consumer 1. **bathroom hand dryer that sucks instead of blows** – “hand dryers suck in fecal matter and blow it all over your hands” I wonder if using a vacuum and maybe UV light would provide for a more hygienic experience.  2. “**Bartender’s base**” – Having planned and executed a variety of events these past few years I constantly found myself buying a variety of large bottles of mixers. I see an opportunity to build a bundle that includes fruit juice, soda, tonic, seltzer and water that is perfect for a small party. Could probably get more margin for the aggregation of it all into a 12 pack.  3. **Set of cards for all the holidays in a year + birthday**, condolences and blank ones – 100% stolen from this guy on twitter.  4. **Trash/recycling can with barcode scanner** – Likely in the kitchen and you’d need to scan before throwing things away but it would automatically populate to a grocery or shopping list.  5. **Frying pan with a trap door** – everytime I scoop something out of a pan I think there has to be a better way. Would require heavy engineering but imaging if you could pull a trap door and drop the food onto your plate.

##### Last updated on 28-10-2024 This is a public list of ideas that I would like to work on someday. This is a copy of the ideas note I have in my Obsidian vault, where I jot down interesting projects, concepts, and thoughts that I find intriguing and might want to explore in the future. Since it is not practically possible for anyone to work on every idea they have, I thought it would be better to make this note public so that someone else might build it someday. Ideas that I’m currently working on are crossed out and have been moved to my projects page. Against each idea, I’ve added a short description to provide more context. If you are interested in any of the ideas mentioned below and want to work on them or collaborate with me, feel free to contact me. In case any of the ideas already exist, please let me know, and I will cross them out with a backlink to the project. **A Search Engine for Personal Blogs**I’m unable to search for content in personal blogs on google or any other search engine. Kagi small web is there, but it’s not personal blog specific.**A World Travel Lottery**A lottery with the grand prize as a fully-expensed, world travel package to visit n countries across all continents**Cricket Guard Line Projector**If you watch cricket, you can see batsmen often marking guard lines against the stumps by asking the umpire. Why can’t we have a laser projection of the stumps controlled by the umpire with a remote?**A cheap running tracker**There are multiple running trackers that you can attach to shoes, like Stryd , but these are quite expensive. Why is it so hard to make cheaper running trackers?**A platform to read both sides of an argument.**A moderated platform where a dedicated page is present for popular topics, and people can read about both sides of the argument.**Indian News Aggregator with relevance**India is struggling with misinformation and rigged news. The magnitude is quite high, considering the huge population, the demographics, and the rising internet penetration. A platform like News Minimalist that removes clickbait titles and filters relevant news would be useful for India.**Global Fish Database in different languages**Fishnames are tricky if you travel around the world. Within a country itself, fish names would be different. A global database of fishnames in all different languages would be great!**Bookmark for Videos & Podcasts**I wish there was a tool to record a particular timestamp on a video or a podcast so that I can watch it from the saved timestamp when I resume, rather than scrolling and finding the time.**Strava for Writers**Strava is a great tool to track your activities. As a writer, such a tool would be great to see the number of words written every day and also get a sneak peek at others’ writings.**About Me Collection**I love reading the About Me sections of various personal blogs. A curated list of the best about pages would be cool.**Evergreen Hosting** People put a lot of effort into their blogs, and most often, after the person passes away, these blogs go obsolete. How about a service that you can pay for one-time or in installments, ensuring that your blog stays live forever? _Update: I wrote about in detail here .
