I got the idea for this page from Derek Siver’s blog post: How and why to make a /now page on your blog.
Imagine we hadn’t spoken for a year. Here’s my update:
Currently reading, watching & listening to
I like to read at least 2 books at the same time – one fiction, one nonfiction.
Fiction: I’m still finishing up from last year’s goal of reading all of David Lodge’s work in chronological order. The final book is the largest: A Man of Parts. It’s a biography of H.G. Wells, so strictly speaking not pure fiction. I had no idea Wells was such proponent of free love.
Nonfiction: 100 Things Every Designer Needs to Know About People by Susan Weinschenk. This one of those books I got after hearing the author talk at a conference, yet I never got around to reading the book. I find this one is best paired with reading up on the replication crisis in psychology.
TV:
After finishing Andor, we’re about to embark on a big Star Wars re-watch.
Music: After 2 years of listening almost exclusively to Kae Tempest, I’m rediscovering some of my old previous bands. Like, Editors. Pet Shop Boys. Even Damien Rice, who I haven’t listened to for almost 10 years.
