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.

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

Books

Doomsday Book • 1992 • Connie Willis A time traveler from the near future goes back to England of the 14th century and stumbles into the Black Death wiping everyone out all around her. Sounds horrible - and yet, it's a wonderful book. There are compelling characters in the future and in the past, and it's somehow compelling even while being a horrific portrayal of the plague. • Loved It!

TV Shows

Your Friends & Neighbors • 2025 • Bear in mind only two episodes have aired, so small sample size, but this is 100% my new favorite TV show. I didn't even intend to watch it until a friend mentioned it, and wow! Glad they did. • Loved It! Zero Day • 2025 • Decent-ish premise, written wildly unrealistically. Robert De Niro is always good, Jesse Plemons was surprisingly good, and several others do their jobs admirably, but the writing is too corny and far-fetched to care. Cannot recommend. • Didn't Like It
