I was inspired to create this after reading the now page on Derek Sivers’ site. I’ve heard him interviewed on several podcasts and have been harvesting his insights and thinking when I think they’d be useful for making my life better. I’m also adding a “currently reading” section to this as a permanent section.

Riding Weekend Recovery
I’m en route back to home from Philadelphia, where I was for a wake/memorial bike ride. Got together with old friends from when I lived there a quarter-century ago. It was fantastic.
Gutenberg Blocks
I’ve been working on cranking out some Gutenberg blocks for this site. The ones for Todoist are done and featured in the left-hand column, and eventually I’ll add those to a repo and get them up on the WP.org site for use. I’m doing a few more that work with this site that I’ll keep private, and a Strava block that I’ll probably release to the world. And I may make a fully comprehensive system in here for managing future editions of the 101 Things in 1001 Days.
Heptapod-B
I’m digging into the language developed for the movie, Arrival, and working on a generator that will crank out new SVGs with new blocks of text. I’ve been planning on a Heptapod-B tattoo for awhile now, and I think that this will be a fun crossover project.
