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.

Current Personal Status

Somehow I’ve managed to be sick the majority of the 3 weeks I’ve been back from Japan. EVEN MORE REASON I SHOULD NEVER HAVE COME BACK!!

Oh, well.

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

Books

Sir Lewis • 2025 • Michael Sawyer Look. Lewis is an actual role model, and he's also a true legend. This book was just a little too willing to bypass nuances in a couple cases and overstate its case. It did not need to do that, because Lewis' life and work speaks for itself. • Liked It

Movies

BALLERINA Didn't Like It Ballerina 2025 • Len Wiseman Sometimes you just want to see people get shot and stabbed, and this is a lot of fun for that. John Wick movies always have interesting choreography and fights. Ana de Armas is fine as Eve and the action is all very well done. Decent Liked It Loved It!

TV Shows

Murderbot S1 • 2025 • I didn't expect to love this. I didn't even want to like it after a couple episodes. But I do! I love it! It's fun and somehow heartwarming. • Loved It! Somebody Feed Phil • 2018 • 8 seasons in, this is one of the happiest and insistently must-see shows I know of. Watch it. Pay for the goddamned Netflix account JUST FOR THIS. If you don't, I have to ask - why do you hate yourself? • Loved It!

YouTube

Food and Drink

  • Home | ramen-ryoma Don’t get me wrong, it’s very good, but… it’s not Japan. IT’S NOT JAPAN!!
  • Fuji Ramen (富士らーめん) in Asakusa, Tokyo – A great ramen shop with a very friendly owner who tries to learn the languages of all his foreign guests. The ramen was delicious.
  • Matcha Cafe in Asakusa, Tokyo – Wow, the matcha shakes and the matcha pudding and the Mozzarella cheese toast!
  • Michiya Tonkatsu (みちや) in Kagoshima – The best tonkatsu – not I think, but I KNOW, I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a lot of tonkatsu.
