TL;DR
I’m making a gin (release now planned for February 2026! 🤞), just returned from a Jhanas meditation retreat and trying to incorporate what I learned into my regular life, working on a major reorg of my family’s real estate businesses, decorating in my (relatively) new house (and still reckoning with the expenses of being a homeowner), exploring my new local community in the Redwood Heights/Laurel district of Oakland (backyard concerts!), wrapping up my Grandpa’s estate and trust after his passing almost a year ago, and taking as much advantage of AI as I can for both personal and business purposes, including vibe coding, self-analysis, design ideation, and more.
Coming up in 2026: gin, of course, but also Edge Esmeralda 2026! It was an amazing experience in the less-than-2-weeks I could manage last year so this time I’m planning to go all-in for the full month: stay in Healdsburg full-time and maybe even join a residency. If you’re planning to come (or thinking about it) I’d love to connect!
What Now: The Details and Digressions
I hope to return to more detailed and regular updates in the future. For now TL;DR is all there is!
Get In Touch
Feel free to comment on anything of interest here, or ask for details if you want to hear more about anything in particular. I’m always looking for input, feedback, suggestions, ideas, and new collaborators for the things I’m working on and interested in!
Why a “Now Page”?
Derek Sivers‘ “Now Page” movement really appealed to me when I first heard about it from a friend. So in 2019 I started this page and have kept it updated (semi-intermittently) since. I encourage you to start your own and let me know about it!
How now is now?
The giant caveat to the “now” of this is that I am a chronic procrastinator. This is a list of things I am actively working on, as well as some I very much want to work on and complete soon, but it’s also likely that much of it won’t get done “soon”, or perhaps ever. I aim to improve on that over time.
