This is my **Now** page (inspired by Derek Sivers), describing in more detail what I am currently doing in my life. It is kind of like the About site but more up-to-date. I think it is useful to have as a way to hold myself accountable for things I intend to do. It also helps me to reflect upon if I spend my free-time in a way that is beneficial to reach my goals. _Last Updated: October 11 - 2024_ ### Doing * working on a digital product in my spare time 👀 * preparing and training for a road bike tour of Northern Thailand next year

_Last updated on 26 September, 2024_ Current Reading --------------- _Last updated on 10 October, 2024_ _Voices of a Distant Star: Words of Love / Across the Stars_ _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?

October 10, 2024 #drawing #coaching #spontaneity ⚑ Bali, Southeast Asia — 👋 This page will give you a snapshot of my current interests and pursuits, and the location tag at the top should accurately state where I am traveling at the moment. — I’ve discovered that context switching by interspersing different subjects and mediums of work provides me with fresh perspectives on each project. Iterating between projects enables me to return with renewed creativity and effective problem-solving skills. Taking time away from a task often leads to idea betterment. I may schedule work on each project in spaced intervals, allowing myself moments for reflection at distance, my subconscious mind continues to work on problems in the background. – Focusing on small, continuous improvements over time helps me maintain creative energy and achieve incremental progress without any project stagnating. Iterating on each project in turns helps me sustain momentum and encourages the cross-fertilization of ideas, resulting in more holistic outcomes. 🐝 cross-pollinating, I work on multiple projects simultaneously, letting insights from one influence and enhance the others. — I guess it’s principles season for me now, as I radically revisit my own principles page and launch the principles page project. I call it a project because I need to call it something — and “movement” feels like too big a claim. Yet, it’s a serious effort for me to step out of my portable hermit mode and spark new conversations. — I’m stepping away from the Apple ecosystem — not just because the latest macOS and iOS updates landed heavy on my older devices, and I want to keep using those devices without everything becoming painfully slow, but also because my anticipation of Apple Intelligence isn’t anticipation at all. By the end of this year, I plan to switch to Linux for most of what I do. a “now page” on a personal website tells you what the author is currently focused on in their life. It’s like an “about” page but for the present moment, offering a big picture view of their current activities, interests, and priorities. Unlike social media updates, it provides a concise overview and helps with prioritization linked mentions for "NOW": 1. **what to si** “C” is not an “a”, and it is not a “b” — this is to suggest that C is consequently flowing and not merely a choice. They don’t have to watch the 2. **the duoton newsletter** Today I’m starting the "duoton" newsletter, and the "bender" piece will serve as its inaugural issue. That seems like an appropriate moment to 3. **principles** An ongoing exercise of radical introspection expressed through first-person singular writing, the slash-principles page serves as a fluid document that reflects my evolving truths, beliefs, and principles. Discomfort is not an enemy, it’s a teacher! Each tenet is shaped and refined by the hard choices I make, aligning with my personal raison d'être and ikigai. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
