Now

Every month, I update this /now page with a few things that have the majority of my time and attention right now.

December

Working through some employment challenges; trying to retain my dignity while others try and take advantage.
Looking forward to the coming year, and tax season.
Thinking about how I can become more social (again?) and make some new friends—I'm lonely.

November

Fed up with web-services I rely on shutting down, regardless of if they are paid or free, I'm moving back to a self-hosted strategy for: rss, ~~bookmarking, and read-it-later~~ services. Apparently the only services I can trust are those I operate on my own.
Trying to define some new rhythms for reading: paper, digital, and audio. I might borrow the structure of Jason's routine to get me back into a reading habit.
Fiddling with cheap & old computers to see what I can save from their fate of becoming e-waste.
Leaning into Linux and returning to smaller computers as a way of life.
Being thankful I am a Canadian living in Canada, but watching carefully what's happening to our neighbour down south.

October

Settling into fall
Getting back into RSS reading again
Revisiting the writing, photos, and creations I'm most proud of from years gone by
Marking university exams and becoming a human AI detector in the process
Finding a new cadence for reading, thinking, and writing

September

Made the decision to start blogging again, after an 18 yr hiatus of regularly doing so
Started teaching again, at the post-secondary level
Returned to some semblance of work, after a 7-month break
