This page is inspired by Derek Sivers's post The /now page movement and the Now Movement. The purpose of this page is to share what I'm currently focussed on, and will be updated as things change.

What's New?
Spring has arrived! It was 75 degrees a couple days ago and I believe we are having our last cold snap right now then Spring will be here to stay. The plant starts are underway in the greenhouse, so many veggies this year!
I just wrapped up version 1 of my urPodder application which is a drop in replacement for gPodder.net which seems to be winding down. I also updated and republished my Identicon Generator and I am in the process of setting up a self-hosted Matrix chat and looking at implementing Webmentions or chat or something for the blog.
Meanwhile the workshop is back on line and I have been 3D-printing like a nut and started up work on the A-Frame tiny house again. I'll be sure to post updates!
Happy Spring!
