My Now Page

Last Updated: 2025.06.15

What I’m Doing Now.

I'm writing two feature articles for the Inland 360, the local arts and entertainment weekly.
I'm beginning to question my role in the problems I've experienced.
I'm studying the life and philosophy of Socrates.

FAMILY AND FRIENDS TIME

We're considering a walkable condo in town with the idea of relocating.

IN THE WOODSHOP

I'm continuing to put the finishing touches on my latest box. I've attached the lift and am finishing the final sanding before applying the finish.
I have 6 rakusu ring orders I'm working on. I had to order some Japanese cedar (hinoki) for a pair of Rinzai rakusu rings.

TECH & TOOLS

The two-window workflow I've set up for journaling is working super.
I've been using various AI tools. The jury is still out on whether they're all beneficial. It's an ongoing experiment, and I'm enjoying it.

HEALTH & VISION

My vision continues to surprise me. What I can and what I can not see is a mystery to me.
I've been focusing on my step count. 9,526 average steps per day this week. My step count is too low.
I've restarted my stretching routine, as exercise is the best medicine.

Hat tip to David Sparks for the idea for this “Now” page. I’m not great at social media, but this page provides me with a way to check in with the world and update you, as David recommends, just as I would when catching up with an old friend.
