Now Page
A quick intro and what's going on "now" — last updated August 27, 2026.
This is a now page. Derek Sivers 
has inspired a growing number of "nowers" to create these. If you have your own site, you should consider adding a Now page too.
🎰 Working at DraftKings
Claude and I write a lot of Elixir code these days at DraftKings. Although I have the same job I had last year, I would not recognize my day to day work from a year ago. AI is here, like it or not — I choose to like it, and I am having more fun!
🏋️ Exercise
I am doing working towards having a (much) more active lifestyle. I start my mornings with The Happy Body exercises and spend about an hour a day either walking, riding a bike, playing outside. It helps a lot.
☕ Caffeine
My primary form of caffeine is from my beloved Moka Pot. If I am in a hurry I will get a quick cup from my Nespresso machine.
- If you are in Krakow may I suggest you try Kelleran for your beans - Columbia is my favorite.
- If you are in the Detroit area, give Ground Control Roaster a shot.
🛠️ What I'm Building
📖 Currently Reading
My favorite read of 2025 — still savoring it. As an American in Poland, it gave me real insight into Polish thinking and culture. My Polish partner reluctantly agrees with most of my takeaways.
Explores the narratives of persons that have memories of rather mundane past lives, and the process of collecting and analyzing those accounts.
Exploring consciousness. Do we even know what it is yet?
A book I needed to read 30 years ago. I did not have awareness on quickly I dismissed other people's ideas.
Finally getting around to reading this classic. Fits well with my ongoing zen aspirations
