Ever get asked, “So what are you up to now?” Yea me too. So this page answers that question. Inspired by Derek Sivers /now page movement.

Reading

Currently reading The Rose Field by Phillip Pullman. More on the reading page.

Travel

Heading to Los Angeles for Thanksgiving.

Also just returned from San Maarten and Panama. Honestly I thought San Maarten was overrated and the whole plane landing over the beach thing was just a giant tourist trap. I don’t know why I expected different but whatever.

Work

Tech

I have fully adapted agentic coding into my workflow now. I feel like it’s helped me be more efficient. Especially for tasks in areas where I am not that strong. For example, front end and JS development. There are quite a few annoyances I have with it but I am working to limit those.

Non Tech

I don’t know if I’m burned out or what but I’ve been looking for, and finding, opportunities outside of tech to invest, or develop businesses, in. It’s surprisingly promising. Though much slower than the fast past world of tech. It’s a nice change and feels less stressful.

Podcasts

I listen to a few podcasts. They can change at times but for now, these are the ones I’m currently listening to:

  • My First Million - I LOVE this podcast. The title sounds cheesy but the pod is not at all. This is probably the best podcast I’ve found in terms of actionable business advice and talk that’s spoken in a natural way. Almost like I’m just talking shop with my friends.
  • Swindled - Never gets old. Such a good podcast.
  • Heart Starts Pounding - Great story telling. True crime mixed with eerie events.
  • How I Built This - Great show but I usually skip half the guests just based on my interest in the company itself that’s being covered.
  • Business Wars - Cool podcasts about companies fighting against each other.
  • Founders - Podcast that covers biographies and autobiographies of important business founders throughout history. Very detailed and passionate. It’s usually a fun listen, though quite repetitive sometimes.
  • Tim Ferris - (I actually skip majority of the episodes but sometimes there’s a guest I’m interested in).
  • The Moth - Recently heard about it on another podcast and decided to give it a try. It’s really very interesting. It’s basically people telling a personal story in front of a crowd.
  • You Must Remember This - Podcast that tells stories about the golden age of Hollywood. My daughter recommended this to me. She said I must start with the season about MGM studios so that’s where I am. I like it so far, though it is a bit slow for my usual taste.
  • The Koerner Office - Sort of an “off the beaten path” business podcast. Covers all sorts of ideas that I’d never even think of (ie, building pickle ball courts for private homes) but I do like the format and off the cuff nature of the podcast. It’s a fun listen
