Now (or Recently)

The "now page" concept comes from an idea by Derek Sivers to have people communicate what they're focused on now at this point in their lives.

Podcasts

Podcast episodes without links are members-only but I think are interesting enough to post in case you want to investigate them.

Books

Don’t be surprised when the book list stays constant for awhile. Reading time is harder to come by these days. 😞

Chasing Shadows • Just started it... The story of Citizen Lab, the world's foremost digital watchdog. Encouraging and depressing all at once. • Liked It Fluke • Just started it, but it's both intellectually interesting and a nice counterpoint to the religion of determinism. • Loved It!

Movies

Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief • 2015 • Alex Gibney Scientology is weird. Ron Hubbard was weird and evil. David Miscavige is just plain evil. An interesting documentary about a rotten church. • Liked It To Live and Die in L.A. 1985 • William Friedkin • Not as good as I remembered. Everyone in this is evil, or an idiot. I didn't buy the transformation of John Vukovich. He didn't earn it. Dafoe is stellar, of course. • Decent

TV Shows

The Studio • 2025 • After one episode I realized I have zero desire to ever watch this again. I don't care about Hollywood sycophants and I'm not even much of a Seth Rogan fan. • Didn't Like It Severance S1&2 • 2022 • Man, this thing is weird and wild but also so much deeper than you might think at first. One of the best shows ever. • Loved It! Prime Target • 2025 • S1 review: Started off pretty good, then devolved into complete implausible nonsense. Very disappointing. • Didn't Like It

Music

Magic Monkey • Godiego • 1980 • A childhood favorite from when I lived in Kagoshima, Japan. Apparently Apple Music has heard of Godiego, so hey! Good work, Apple! • Loved It! Dive • Artist: Almost Monday • I heard "Can't Slow Down" in a 7-Eleven, that's literally how I discovered this album and band Not my usual, but good! • Liked It
