Now

A 'now' page is a simple but powerful idea - you should read about the concept and backstory on nownownow.com.  It's a page that tells you "what this person is focused on at this point in their life".  To be honest though, it's really for me.  I drive myself nuts trying to keep track of everything I'm currently exploring, so this is a really nice place to do that.

I move my interest focus all the time.  In fact, its a gradual wondering and evolution more than step changes, so this page is probably already slighty out of date.
