Now

Reading: Jonathan Franzen’s Strong Motion.

Writing and books: Still working on Claude Code For Dummies. It comes out in April 2027.

Teaching: Done teaching for now, for a month or so, I think.

Chess: Turns out I’m much better at chess when I’m not teaching.

Podcast: I’m co-hosting a podcast, Moving Towards Better, with Chris Penick. We give each other challenges. My current one is to learn Morse code. I’m rushing to learn it, and trying to figure out whether it’s better to practice fewer letters at full speed or more letters at slower speed.

Woodworking: Building out my wood shop and learning more about woodworking. My first projects are things the shop needs. I just finished my shop stool. Next up is a table for a sander.

This is a now page, and if you have your own site, you should make one, too.
