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.

Many vaccines were had, and I was sick for 2 days. PROOF THAT THEY’RE A SCAM!!!!!@#@!!

My 2024 M4 MacBook Pro has a broken Thunderbolt 5 port, just because I plug my hub into it all the time. I’m not rough. I don’t abuse it. I just plug and unplug multiple times per day. Now that broken port is causing issues where the Mac can’t go to sleep:

panic(cpu 11 caller 0xfffffe003fad6598): Sleep transition timed out after 35 seconds while calling power state change callbacks. Suspected bundle: com.apple.iokit.IOThunderboltFamily. Thread 0x8b59f1. Debugger message: panic

Books

A History of What Comes Next • M Sylvain Neuvel • 2021 • A wonderful historical fiction novel that becomes... sci-fi? Yes, and it's a great premise too. It's not always an easy read, because there is a lot of tension and bad times, but it IS a worthy read. • Loved It!

Movies

The Equalizer 3 • 2023 • Antoine Fuqua • Sometimes you just want to watch crisp, effective killing of bad guys, and Denzel always delivers in spades. I particularly enjoyed watching Marco get stabbed with his own knife he was still holding. • Loved It! Highest 2 Lowest • 2025 • Spike Lee • Denzel Washington is always great. This movie was ultimately more uplifting than I expected, and that's ok. The world needs more of that. • Liked It

TV Shows

The Last Frontier • 2025 • Another Apple TV+ series. Two episodes in, not sure how I'm going to feel about it. Started off well in some ways, hand-wavy in others. Seems like it's worth giving a chance though. • Liked It
