(This is my now page. A now page is a place to summarize what you’re thinking about, doing, whatever. If social media posts are points on the curve, then the now page is the area under the curve.) Since I don’t use social media, this is all I’ve got.

Updated September 3, 2026 from my home in London, Ontario, Canada. It’s late summer. Still hot but some leaves are starting to fall; and the black walnut trees that are so numerous on our property are dropping their nuts. Soon it will be time to start gathering them and removing them to a remote area of the property to keep the squirrels at a distance.

Music

I’m practicing a lot. I applied to the Winterhaven Chamber Music program which is in January. I’m preparing, without any specific schedule the the Schumann Piano Quintet and the Brahms B major trio Op. 8.

Creative projects

Recently I’ve been working on a couple creative tech projects:

• Slinky - It’s a bookmark manager that mirrors the appearance and functionality of Espial, which in turn mirrors the appearance of Pinboard. I’ve used a self-hosted instance of Espial for years; but it’s written in Haskell which is completely foreign to me. So I rewrote it in Go for more maintainability.
• fdjt - A self-hosted links-based homepage that mirrors the “A Fine Start” extension. I wanted my page content available on all of my devices without having to add yet another subscription. I didn’t publish this one.
