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.

Laundromat
Currently sitting at the laundromat, washing the comforter that Joey peed all over. She and Gertie had gotten into it and were play-fighting, and she got overly excited, and then the Labrador genes took over…and well, now I’m here.
Brevet Planning
I started this a couple of days ago, with my registration for a couple of randonneuring events for 2026, as build-up to the DAMN later this summer. I’ve added a 200km and a 300km to the list for this year, and the DAMN technically counts as a 400km. On top of that, I am going to need to start figuring out how to do the same run of events very quickly in 2027, plus a 600km, as a lead-up to riding Paris-Brest-Paris, which has been on my bucket list for decades.
Scoutreads
I’ve been focused on getting the Scoutreads MVP up and running this spring, and have been heads-down on framing out the site pages and the private API. Busy, busy, busy.
