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.

Books
Don’t be surprised when the book list stays constant for awhile. Reading time is harder to come by these days. 😞
- Build, Run, and Sell Your Apple Consulting Practice: Business and Marketing for iOS and Mac Start Ups | SpringerLink This book is by Charles Edge, much missed MacAdmins guru. The lessons in here are applicable to consulting in general.
- The Man Who Lied to His Laptop — Clifford Nass & Corina Yen In progress. This is not a novel, but it IS a novel look at how people interact with and anthropomorphize technology.
Movies and TV
- Bad Boys: Ride or Die - Netflix I should have known this would be horrible, and it was horrible.
- Pain Hustlers - Netflix Surprisingly good! Emily Blunt is always good, but she’s outstanding in the role of a down-and-outer who lets her ambition and brains get the better of her judgement.
- Meltdown – Three Mile Island I never realized how close TMI came to having a full core meltdown. I also didn’t know the story about Bechtel trying to use a crane that would have destroyed the core too. So there’s your cheerful tale of nuclear woe.
