Now now now

What I'm reading, pondering, watching, listening to or working on at any given point in time. Now pages are more stable than a Twitter feed and less permanent than the about page. Life updates on a monthly rather than daily or hourly cadence.

And this great quote from the second one on that list, It Is What You Make of It (as opposed to "It is what it is") by Justin McRoberts, which I clearly live by:


What I'm Watching:

  • Andor - Season 2. Peak Star Wars IMHO
  • MobLand - If you like mob shows, this is great. If you don't, absolutely avoid it.
  • The Eternaut - Argentine science fiction comic turned Netflix special. All subtitles, but don't let that stop you. (but it is a bit of a slow burn)
  • Doctor Who - Best season since Capaldi, IMHO

  • Revisiting some of my Misfit Hope ideas.

Happy to elaborate on any of these books, except Dungeon Crawler Carl, which I haven't started yet.


A recent song I found that I can't quit listening to from AWOLNATION:


A quote I recently read that stuck with me:
