/now

Now pages are a Derek Sivers creation. You can see his here.

The idea is that regardless of who you are (the ‘about’ page), who you are now is different, and full of present concerns.

About pages are histories. Now pages are presentlies.

Present concerns offer a frame of intention, and can be more useful for others who may want to reach out.

For yourself, articulating your now creates an angle of approach towards an otherwise unmarked future.

Right now, I am…
