1 Today I was introduced to the concept of a "/now" page. Most of us are familiar with the /about page on personal websites, which provides an overview or background of the person. The idea behind a /now page is to provide more current information or "what this person is focused on at this point in their life". 2 3 The idea began with a blog post by [Derek Sivers](https://sive.rs/nowff){target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"}. The post caught traction leading to the creation of [nownownow.com](https://nownownow.com){target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"}, a site that lists people who have included a /now page on their own websites. 4 5 Inspired by this I have created a [Current focus](https://pyratebeard.net/#now){target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"} section to my homepage, listing things like my latest log entry and photograph, and even the coffee I am currently brewing. 6 7 In true nerd fashion the information is also available in my [finger information](20230518-pull_my_finger.html){target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"} 8 ``` 9 finger pyratebeard@pyratebeard.net 10 ``` 11 12 I will endeavour to keep this information as current as possible. At the moment I am planning to update it at least weekly. There are a few ideas I have in mind of how best to keep the section updated, we shall see how it goes.
