Now

This is a /now page, inspired by Derek Sivers. You should consider making your own! I keep a more complete list of my recently active projects here.

Derek just wrote a new post about these pages. I updated this page 2026-03-03.

New Protein bars

After watching this video, I was inspired to try making these protein bars. They were stellar first time around. The whole dipping in chocolate deal was a bit messy. The next batch, I simply poured a layer of chocolate over top, similar to nanaimo bars.

I've now made these a few times and they are really simple to make and so good. I'll post my version of the recipe, process at some point.

Not Writing....with a bit of writing?

I can't tell you that I'm writing...yet but I'm working on it. I'm working on new processes, new muscles, new ways of thinking about writing. Part of that is writing at the keyboard to start, which is new for me. Any writing I've done has been primarily pen and paper. I'm working on ways to start at the keyboard but that's more difficult than you'd think. I really like paper and pen.

The goal I'm focused on is trying to share some stories from the coworking space I ran here in Guelph for a decade+ called ThreeFortyNine.

Do you remember 349? Send me a note with your story if you do!! It may remind me of that story or I likely wasn't there when it happened.

Apple

Well I'm reluctanly joining the apple cult....for a bit. I work on a MB Pro for my day job and it's too difficult switching contexts so I'm setting up a new MB Air as my personal machine....

That means I'm learning about new tools such as rectangle and raycast. What other tools should I know about?

I still don't love it....and at this point, will be moving back at some point.

Work(aholic)

Honestly, I'm busy with work these days. I'm almost a year into a new gig at Vantage. It's more of a contributor role than I've had in a while and I'm loving that...but there's a lot to learn.

I like steep learning curves and I found myself a few here which I'm enjoying.

You should really consider joining me over here.
