Now

I'm at the point now where, compared to a year ago, I can truly say that I'm doing well. Unfortunately, my wife is having a really hard time with her health. This means that I'm very torn, but it also means that hopefully I have the capacity to take care of her as well as I ever have.

With all the vibe coding I've done in the past 6 months, I've almost reached a point where I'm out of things to do. I'm now stuck with ideas that might be a little too big. Or at least, they resist being completed in a single session.

At the same time, building intrisic motivation has been going well also. I find myself working on creative projects just because I want to, with truly very little premeditated idea that I'm going to show someone them. I've started making a lot of "fruit slop videos".

I'm taking the [Tools for creativity(https://sfpc.study/sessions/fall-26/tools-for-creativity)] class at SFPC. It's a lot of fun and very interesting. I've learned a lot and I'm building my own tool!

A few weeks ago, I had a quarterly review at work and to summarize it my manager said I've been "hitting it out of the park", which is great. And actually, hearing that made me start to believe it and try to live up to it. So maybe a bit of extrinsic motivation there.

Currently, I'm still living in San Francisco, in the same apartment I've lived in since we moved there in December 2012. What can I say, it's cozy, rent-controlled and in an awesome neighborhood (near Zeitgeist and Pizza Zone). I also have the same job at YouTube that I've had all that time.

What is a 'now' page?

A now page is like an about page, but with the scope of "right now" instead of a long view. The easiest way to think about it is: what would you tell a friend that you haven't seen in a while about what you're up to?

Where can I find a list of people with websites that feature a 'now' page?

Just go to nownownow.com. You can add your site to that directory should you choose to add a /now page to your site.
