What I'm up to right now
Last updated August 22, 2024
What's the deal with this "now" page?
This page was inspired by Derek Sivers’ nownownow.com ↗. I first learned about it from reading his books and blog. Then, I stumbled upon tempertemper.net 's "now" page ↗ which I took as a friendly reminder to make one myself!
That said, here's a bit of what's going on in my life right now:
- Recovering from a concussion, banged up elbow and knee thanks to my first rough mountain bike crash
- Got all of the bathrooms in our house renovated!
- Saw the new Alien Romulus movie with my partner - was pretty good!
- Gaining way too much weight since being cooped up in the house recovering
- Tinkering around with the Pokémon API ↗ and the JavaScript fetch API
- Researching and buying bike safety gear - I bought Leatt Impact Shorts, Leatt Airflex Body Armor, and IXS Carve Elbow Pads. I already bought a new IXS full face helmet (cracked my old one) and have POC VPD knee pads!
- Upgraded my stock Stout square tapered crankset for a Hollowtech crankset

P.S. I don't have social media (except Linkedin if you count that). I used to be on it all the time but it's just not my thing anymore. Cal Newport said it best in his Ted Talk Quit social media ↗ and in his post On Digital Minimalism ↗.
