Now

What is this page?

A Now Page is a quick at-a-glance summary of what I’ve been doing recently.

The idea is to give you more of a bird’s-eye-view than you’d get from status updates and blog posts.

    I very much do not recommend the Mel Gibson #film "Dragged Across Concrete". In fact, I would probably recommend actually being dragged across concrete rather than watching this film.
