Got into a rabbithole and stumbled upon the /now page movement while working on something completely unrelated and found it somewhat interesting, so I may as well create a now page in lieu of the nonexistent about page.
I realize that most of the things I do are usually time-constrained or conclude once the task is completed, so there is a nontrivial probability that this devolves into a todo list.
Now that I’ve started working full-time and am no longer a student (for now), thus meaning the concept of time no longer exists, I will do my best to update this more often. Hopefully this also means doing things that I’m actually proud of posting and not constantly being stuck in a state of doing nothing particularly stimulating.

Now
- Now that I’ve escaped the gauntlet and got myself back into cycling:
- Set up the P15v/P53 and sunset/sell the P52
- Start doing something mentally stimulating - a friend mentioned doing interview problems, but I think the technical stimulation of choice for myself will probably be some probability. I’ll be picking up my stats/probability books when I’m home, so get ready for me to become a machine.
- Starting a new macro in PL. My last block did not go as well as I’d hoped, but I hope the adjustments made this time will make things go smoother. I also had the time and space to rethink how I was approaching things in terms of my own expectations and mindset, so writing things down and recognizing some places I could improve will hopefully also make me more mindful.
- I want to write block/macro recaps, but it always ends up being filled with jargon and hard to read for the average viewer. I wish it were easier and more digestible to recap powerlifting in text form but it is just unfortunately easier to video recap with audio/voiceover, which is unfortunately both less secure and more effort.
Semipermanent States of Existence
If I’m not doing anything above, you can assume I’m trying to adhere to these much more general statements.
- Trying to not take on too many things at once and drop them, as well as balance my technical interests and “have a life” (mainly staying active and having non-negligible social interaction) - I fear this may be a permanent state of existence, but I also worry for the day where it isn’t because I have ended up with neither
- Trying to share things to be interesting but not be overly personal, weird, stupid, or have my information used against me - I also fear this may be a permanent state of existence
- Trying to find people that I can consistently enjoy spending time with; consistently as in both being able to regularly spend time with them and generally enjoy my experiences when I am with them
- Alternatively, I could just hermit mode and vanish at an arbitrary old age
Not Now
Things I’m looking forward to in the future, as well as an archive for any interesting things that once resided in now.
Future
- Buying a Civic Type R, hopefully at MSRP. I will be planning a “trip” where I take time to bother dealerships all day in the Bay Area sometime once I have amassed the rest of the cash needed.
- NYC trip - have some friends there.
