What’s happening /now
AS A THINKER | WRITER | LEARNER | MAKER
The big picture view of what I’m up to as of 28 May 2026.
Always creating and tinkering
I’ve created a new podcast for sharing my on-the-go reflections and guest conversations for when I don’t feel like writing (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, YT Music, PocketCasts, Substack).
Otherwise, I’m sharing some of my best writing over on my blog (cross-posted to Substack if you’d prefer to keep all your subscriptions in one place), and I’ve got folders and journals full of penned posts that I want to edit and publish. I should be working on a 40-for-40 book idea I’ve outlined, but I’m fighting with myself over it for no good reason at all.
I’m also finally getting into the vibe coding party with Claude; trying to make a few ideas come to life based on some needs & pains I’ve observed recently from those around me. You might see me at a more ProductTank Auckland meetups and Hackaotearoa coworking spaces to get more in and amongst it, and generally trying to be useful wherever and to whomever I can.
Lastly, as if I wasn’t doing too many things already, I’m still making changes to this site little by little; I’m in no big rush. I treat this kind of like maintaining my home—routine tidying helps, but I don’t need to be trying to remodel the kitchen every week (even if I’d love it to have some new features).
REading and playing in my down time
- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (book) → first time reading the series; up to the fourth book since the start of the year
- Hogwarts Legacy (game) → to go with the books
- F1 25 (game) → finding new appreciation for what Formula 1 drivers do
- Tribe of Mentors (book)
- Inspired (book)
- Thinking, Fast and Slow (book) → TEMPORARILY PAUSED as I wasn’t having fun after 1/3 through, so best I step away before coming back
- Duolingo Korean & Chess (lessons) → keeping up the streaks
Thanks to Derek Sivers for the /now page inspiration—you should have one too!
