Now.
This is my /now page, inspired by Derek Silvers' nownownow concept. Last updated 6/2022.
Projects I'm working on now
Figuring out how to best help my 16-year-old dog who is effectively deaf, blind, and losing control of his limbs, but still very much the same dog as always
Noodling on a replacement for the Field Notes notebooks that I've been carrying around for several years now. I'm getting kind of frustrated that the covers get bent up when they're in my pocket, and am thinking about a less-linear approach to note taking. Currently it's made up of a piece of plastic (thick enough to not get damaged in the pocket, but thin enough to flex when I move), the corner of a transparent plastic page protector, a binder clip, some double-sided tape, and Baron Fig Strategist Index Cards which truly are worth the cost.
