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

Don’t be surprised when the book list stays constant for awhile. Reading time is harder to come by these days. 😞

  • Codex Finished. I rated this ️ even though I didn’t really enjoy the ending, I have to confess. Still well worth the read.
  • Livesuit by James S. A. Corey | Hachette Book Group Finished. Great premise, great novella.
  • 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.
  • Dark Wire Finished. 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.

Movies and TV

  • 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.
