What is a Now page?

I like to think of a Now page as the things I’d share if an old friend and I ran into each other and they asked, “What’s going on?” What are you working on? What are you excited about?

Personal

Enjoying the cooler fall temperatures but not loving the loss of sunlight during the days.

Focusing on some weight loss goals and trying to refresh my walking goals. I’ve been doing well the last few weeks, but there’s still room for improvement (I need to cook better meals). Also trying to add some strength training with resistance bands and some in-house workouts. All this is to reduce my blood sugar, which was pretty high at my last checkup.

Work

I started a new full-time job and have offboarded my previous contract. I’m still finding my feet, but enjoying the new environment.

Side Projects

With my LocalCents experiments behind me, I spent October tinkering with Flick and adding some observability tooling. Still in progress, but I hope to blog more about it soon.

After that, I want to kick off a new side project. I have been continuing some research into small business accounting, but I’m not sure that is what I should do with my new time limits.

Currently Playing

  • World of Warcraft: Forever. I am playing a Tauren Druid.
  • GTA6 (soon™)

I finished Perfection in Stardew Valley.

I don’t own a Switch 2, but I’m watching some people play the Ocarina of Time remake.

Still play some MLB: The Show on occasion. I worked through the Playoff content when it came out.
