right now

What is a now page, I hear you ask? Why do you have an ABOUT page, and a NOW page - what’s the difference?

Well, most websites have a link that says “about”, which tells you something about the background of that person.

Most websites have a link that says “contact”, which goes to a page that tells you how to contact that person.

So a link that says “now” naturally goes to a page that tells you what that person is focused on at this point in their life - a “now page”.

If you’re interested in this idea, you can check out other now pages here.

If you’re interested in what I am doing, learning, reading and planning now then you’re in the right place!
