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. 😞
- Dark Wire The inside story of the largest law-enforcement sting operation ever, in which the FBI made its own tech start-up to wiretap the world, shows how cunning both the authorities and drug traffickers have become, with privacy implications for everyone.
- The Man Who Lied to His Laptop — Clifford Nass & Corina Yen This is not a novel, but it IS a novel look at how people interact with and anthropomorphize technology.
Movies and TV
- The Pacific I always enjoy WWII related shows and movies. Maybe it’s because it was the last war that truly needed to be fought? I don’t know.
- Slow Horses - Season 4 Eps 1 & 2 I don’t have to tell you about Slow Horses, and if I do, well, what are you doing? Watch it!
- Monsieur Spade Clive Owen is always great. And cranky characters who secretly care deeply about people are too. This has both!
