Now Writing Projects

What is this?

Now

A map of what has my attention right now, drawn in public so the rest of the site has a pulse.

If the writing and projects are the archive, this is the field note on the desk. It should make the current pattern easier to see: where the energy is going, what is deliberately out of frame, and what kind of conversation belongs here.

What Has My Attention

  • Turning the homepage into a current map

    The old about page answered the wrong question. This page should make the live shape of the work visible: what is active, what is paused, and where the next few notes are likely to come from.

  • Writing about software, tools, and thinking systems

    The recurring thread is how tools change the texture of thought: notes, workflows, interfaces, agents, and the ordinary rituals that make complicated work feel tractable.

  • Keeping projects small enough to understand

    The projects section should become a trail of things built, tested, abandoned, or learned from, not a trophy shelf that only accepts polished outcomes.

  • Giving the site one memorable visual language

    The house style is quiet prose plus one strange print object: generated collage, old-paper texture, sharp silhouettes, and no fake tech spectacle.

Current Edges

A now page works only if it has edges. These are the current ones, mostly here so the page can help say no without turning every no into a new negotiation.

  • Not turning this into a resume.
  • Not chasing feed velocity.
  • Not pretending the page is finished.

Thoughtful notes are welcome, especially about software, writing, tools, and the small systems people actually keep using.
