Now

YouTube (and I think Google in general) has called all fully remote workers back into the office starting in September October. It will be a hybrid schedule, the same as everyone else, Tuesday through Thursday in the office. In preparing for this, we bought a new car, a 2025 Toyota RAV4, black. I'm excited to have a car for a number of reasons, but I'm not terribly excited to have to street park it. Or drive it to work for that matter.

Currently, I'm still living in San Francisco, in the same apartment I've lived in since we moved there in December 2012. What can I say, it's cozy, rent-controlled and in an awesome neighborhood (near Zeitgeist). I also have the same job at YouTube that I've had all that time.

My friends at Noisebridge encouraged me to resume my free Python class in September. Well it's September, and I haven't resumed it. I'm not sure I will. I just don't feel particularly confident in Noisebridge as an institution to justify investing my effort there anymore.

My Google Summer of Code intern with Kiwix finished his project successfully! He worked on WP1 and you can read his final writeup in his own words.

My friend Will got married in Philadelphia! I was part of the unofficial official wedding party and we all looked great and had a great time. I cried during the ceremony quite a bit and cursed myself for not bringing tissues.

I've taken on a paid tutoring gig for a coworker's son, and I offered to tutor the brother of my friend's new wife, who I talked to at the wedding.

What is a 'now' page?

A now page is like an about page, but with the scope of "right now" instead of a long view. The easiest way to think about it is: what would you tell a friend that you haven't seen in a while about what you're up to?

Where can I find a list of people with websites that feature a 'now' page?

Just go to nownownow.com. You can add your site to that directory should you choose to add a /now page to your site.
