Building off of a brilliant idea from Derek Sivers, I've set up this /now page.

What I'm doing now

Updated October 21st, 2025, from Central Florida.

Learning Philosophy

I'm listening to Prof. Pei-jung Fu's lectures on Zhuangzi (Chuang Tsŭ).

Learning History

I've finished the first 13 volumes of Yi Zhongtian's The History of China and will finish the remaining 11 volumes in Q4 2025.

Literature

Out of curiosity, I finished reading How the Steel Was Tempered by Nikolai Ostrovsky. I'm reading The Road Less Traveled now.

Learning - Business

I'm reading How Finance Works - the HBR Guide to thinking smart about the numbers as part of a 3-month learning program on startup finance, which I created using Google Gemini.

Arts

I'm reading Artforms by duane and Sarah Preble as my introductory course to art histroy.

Exploring

We had an in-depth exploration of Inner Mongolia in the summer. As Florida cools down, we will be exploring its winter for the second year.

Writing

I created my own way of notetaking using Obsidian and Gemini-Cli and will be documenting it shortly.

Simple Life

Last year I sold/gifted all my computers but an Macbook Air. I now eliminated the external monitor and keyboard, and have my Macbook Air in a secretory cabinet drawer most of the time.
